The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.

This is the stuff I truly miss.

BREAKING: Swalwell resigns from Congress:

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:

Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.

Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.

This week is Black Maternal Health Week — and Black women are still being ignored, dismissed, and disrespected, especially during pregnancy and childbirth.

Over 80% of these deaths didn’t have to happen. This is your reminder to listen to Black women.

"We can't remove our predator because every man on the right is a predator," is an argument to justify and become MAGA.

Predatory behavior is not a partisan issue. It is a human issue and there is never a justification.

He was at Galaxy Con in Raleigh just last year along with the actors who played Will and Holly. You could get a photo with them in a raft. I had no idea he was that old.

I dont need lecturing on "wait until the facts come out"

Endorsements arent given lightly, and they damn sure aren't taken away lightly, for anyone to assume this was done as some sort of knee jerk reaction is being extremely disingenuous.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Trump/GOP economy is historically BAD!!! Time & time again, Republicans TRASH the American economy, with Democrats having to clean up Republicans’ mess! Dems create jobs across the USA economy, are focused on the affordability crisis to lower prices, & healthcare!

Look for this to embolden those who would leak more Epstein files. Specifically Ghislaine Maxwell and the Epstein Estate. As I said after Melania’s weird press conference:: keep your eye on the WSJ. 👀

Todd Blanche says only Trump knows why Pam Bondi was fired—and now it’s spilling into DOJ shakeups, a reporter’s phone, and Cassidy Hutchinson under scrutiny.

Trump claimed he was going to deport the worst of the worst.

But he's not.

He's taking the best of the best.
He's abducting hardworking people, doctors even!

Many people are oblivious. They're busy working & taking care of their kids.

Trump will have a chance to refile an amended complaint.

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.” “It’s a beautiful thing” 12:22 PM · Apr 8, 2026 · 7.1M Views

This seems to have gotten memory holed in discussions of Trump's blockade of Iran's blockade.

The "peace" deal on the table was that Iran and Trump enter a joint toll booth venture, payable in Trump crypto. And WHY that didn't happen is the underlying question.

Wow — hey @nytimes.com are you gonna explain to your readers why you changed the headline to this @ezraklein.bsky.social piece about Hasan? Who did you capitulate to? 🤔
