Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
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.
My favorite scene from the Bible
Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways
The happiness of the mother who has just had her puppies.

Since everyone is posting this! EPSTEIN FILES 💥
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.
Harry Sisson: Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at: 9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo) 9:50pm (Trump tower on moon) 10:10pm (dumb meme) 10:32pm (news clip) 10:53pm (news clip) 12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade) 2:35am (article about Biden) 2:36am (article on naval blockade) 2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell) 2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again) 2:38am (article on his ballroom) 4:10am (article on Iran) He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.
Matt Schlapp: I’ve looked at Hungary’s election and I remain bullish on Prime Minister Orban’s standing. It’s my view that he and his party will come lead after all the votes are in. This is an important test to see if globalists can co-opt the mighty Hungarian people.

If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.
Swalwell is a sexual predator. Multiple women who have not spoken to each other reporting almost the exact same behavior from him.
“Sending abrasive dickhead to negotiate with Iran has backfired”
This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
The question the entire world is asking. 😳👇
a senior golden retriever sits in the grass in front of a gray stone wall and faces the camera head-on. he has at least four tennis balls in his mouth – two stacked vertically under his nose, and one pressing up his cheek flaps on either side. the balls are faded shades of orange and green, now weathered and well-loved, like the sugary white of the dog’s face.
This is Finley. He is the Guinness Book of World Records champ for most tennis balls held by a dog in their mouth with 6 at once. Earned the title six years ago and has remained undefeated. He may be a senior, but he definitely knows ball. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: finnyboymolloy)
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.
The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
Thanks to all the people who rescue animals..😍
“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap
The happiness of this blind little dog when she was adopted is indescribable . 😍
Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began"
"We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created"
"This is insanity"
He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.
Just for the record, I’m glad Joe Kent resigned but he is still a POS.
