Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
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.
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
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.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.
16 years ago, the BP oil spill devastated the environment and the communities in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, Interior is green-lighting BP’s even riskier, even deeper Kaskida offshore oil project to drill up profits and export oil abroad—all at the expense of our environment.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.
Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables
Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country.
Nobody takes it seriously.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.
Legislation that would ban the use of paraquat, a fast-acting and highly toxic herbicide that studies have linked to Parkinson’s disease, easily passed the Vermont House last month. But H.739 now faces a chillier reception in the Senate.
Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
Mark Rufalo warns Congress against the Paramount-WBD merger:
"You don't have to watch 'Citizen Kane' or read '1984' to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to a free press, an informed populace & democracy itself."

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
We all need to put one of these in front of our doorstep. Amen to this.
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.
Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:
a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b
The SAVE Act is voter suppression disguised as security. It’s designed to make it harder for millions to vote. Tell Congress: Vote NO on the SAVE Act and protect our democracy.
Not even 6 in the morning, and Hungarians are already lining up to vote! Hopefully get rid of Orban and Russians once, and for all! #cdnpoli
