Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message.

Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.

Mr Buster lived on his chain living on the cold concrete for years. Complete neglect as he was "Vicious and dangerous" according to his owners.
