Scott Bessent wants people to change their withholding on their paychecks so they’ll get more money back now
But that means Americans will have to pay more in taxes next April 15
Maybe taking advice from former CEO of Key Square Capital who lost it $4.5 billion from 2017 to 2023 isn’t a good idea
"[Trump's] not really a Christian of any sort because he represents and does everything we tell our children not to do. To be selfish, to have a lack of empathy, to hurt people without remorse, to steal, to lie, to rape. He's a bad man. So it isn't surprising that he has a problem with the Pope."
Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion.
This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
What do these companies have in common?
-Block
-Citigroup
-Coinbase
-CVS
-Dominion Energy
-Disney
-Halliburton
-Hasbro
-HP
-Kohl's
-Live Nation
-Palantir
-Paypal
-PG&E
-Southwest Airlines
-Tesla
-United Airlines
They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.
A jury has ruled that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an illegal monopoly.
A judge will determine whether or not to break the company up, in addition to other damages.
This is a big deal.
Remember that the Trump admin tried to settle the lawsuit with a slap on the wrist — but state AGs said no way.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

Somehow we almost missed Fox saying teens ages 15-19 not having babies is a “problem”🤔
If attacking Pope Leo online then posting an AI generated picture of himself as Jesus doesn’t convince you that the president has zero respect for Christianity, after all that has happened up to now, I can safely say you do not care about the truth.
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Hours after a ceasefire was announced, Israel launched over 100 strikes across Lebanon, killing more than 300 civilians and injuring over 1,000 in a matter of minutes. The scale of civilian harm is unacceptable.
If they can murder people in Gaza, in Venezuela, in the West Bank, in Cuba, in Iran, in Lebanon.
And nobody does anything.
They can murder anyone, anywhere and nobody will do anything.
"Members of Congress take oaths of office in the same way that the President does. And if the President's not obeying his oath of office, the Constitution gives them the power, the obligation, & the duty to exercise their constitutional duty & obligation to impeach & remove the criminal president."
You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth.
My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...
Let’s be clear. Israel is not “striking Hezbollah” targets in Lebanon. They are levelling civilian buildings so they can extend their borders. War crimes.

Breaking: ICE shoots man near San Jose; Authorities Close I-5
On April 7th, 2026, ICE agents shot a man on Interstate 5 in California, near Modesto & San Jose. The FBI is investigating the shooting. According to local authorities, the victim has been taken to a local hospital for medical attention.
Do I have this correct? The Legislative Branch of our political system is not even working while all of this happening. Really?
Ok, now do the bass clef.
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

I did too!! Shaped my life!
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.
Under the circumstances they should all be back in DC. This is ludicrous.
How many people have Trump and his ICE thugs DISAPPEARED?
In 1 year, there were ~393k arrests,~350k deportations & 1.9M self-deportations.
In detention centers, there have been dozens of deaths, reports of torture, abuse & medical neglect of even children & babies.
We must stop #ICELawlessness!
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
