Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter to plead guilty in child sexual abuse case, adding to pattern Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters were already indefensible. As many of them run into fresh trouble with the law, the move continues to look even worse.

Another Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims.

David Daniel has reached a plea agreement in connection with a pending charge of sexual exploitation of a minor and possessing sexually explicit images of children.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com

We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Pentagon Confirms It Met With Vatican—But Denies Reports Of A Bitter Clash—Amid The Pope’s Mounting Criticism Reports of a meeting between a Vatican representative and the Pentagon went viral, with allegations that the church had been warned to cease its criticism.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes.

It has to stop.

Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15.

We must stop it.

On Thursday, former prosecutor Joyce Vance warned the Trump administration has declared war on public records law through a sweeping "power grab," on her Substack.

If I lived in Lebanon, this would make me very nervous. Netanyahu has a clear incentive to provoke Iran to pull out of the ceasefire by attacking Lebanon again. Netanyahu always prioritizes himself over the lives of innocent civilians.

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein.

I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.”

There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Thank you, Melania, for putting the Epstein files back in the news.

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

Where’s Congress? 🕵🏻‍♀️

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Jeffries: Pam Bondi has been fired. She deserves to be fired. She’s the most corrupt attorney general in modern American history—a complete and total disgrace.

But just because she’s been fired doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to comply with the subpoena

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.
