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.
The system is rigged.
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
We let the worst people on Earth become the most powerful people on Earth, at a time when the most powerful people on Earth had ready access to the tools to destroy Earth.
Those words will be on humanity's gravestone—should any of a dozen rolling disasters cause global collapse.
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
He might as well answer in Russian.
If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
Trump has destabilized the globe. That is a fact. He started a baseless war. That is a fact. He had no plan for this war. That is obvious. Yet despite terrible prices on everything, people do his bidding and follow him. Cult.
The President of the United States calling NATO a paper tiger is Soviet propaganda and I hope someone is writing all this shit down for later
A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.
This has become a repeated pattern: major policy moves or market-moving announcements are preceded by suspiciously well-timed trades, unexplained financial gains, and then no accountability.
JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.
Trump acts like he is the master of the world. He cannot control Israel. He cannot defeat Iran. He has no support in Europe. His "allies" like Putin and Netanyahu merely control and use him. He is hated by the majority of Americans. Even his cult is breaking up. Does not sound like mastery to me.
He's an evil piece of shit, and after 10 years we're closing in on everyone seeing it
He's *dismissing* hundreds of raped kids—and I bet a lot of people who hear him do so will imagine that he's doing something so otherwise unthinkable because some of those kids were his victims
Straight up milking the market
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
He’s lost his damn mind.
Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional.
He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish.
Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.
"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that he will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
It’s interesting that they need an act of Congress to stop the Iran strikes, but they didn’t need one to start
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...
I’ll never get used to the president being a petty, whiny little bitch
MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.:
"Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The only problem is that they think the Russians are winning this war. But they're wrong. This isn't the first time the Americans have been wrong about the Russians. I say this openly.
They say: 'guarantees can only be given when the war ends and we leave Donbas.'
The eyewatering hypocrisy writes itself.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and
Finnish President Alexander Stubb took the ice for some drills with the PWHL Ottawa Chargers.
Absolutely amazing.
