What I like is that so many of them are clearly the right analogues for those Doctors. Farr and Levy don't really match 5 and 9, and Epps is much older and more serious than Gatwa as 15. But on the whole, very nicely done.
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.
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.
And Obama was president for twice as long.
Gonzalez at the least but don't sleep on how badly Cory Mills deserves to be booted from Congress! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Springsteen, Morello, Craven, Nagle…yes please to all. Thank you for sharing! ❤️ Madge too.
This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥

Remember when we used to have experienced seasoned diplomats with decades of knowledge and experience in a specific region involved in sensitive and complex negotiations with other countries over important details? Seems like a better plan than Vance, Witkoff and Kushner.
Wonder what MarkWayne’s BFF Josh Gottheimer has to say about this…? I already know it will be his usual silence.
Dear international friends,
Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you.
Sincerely,
An American citizen
Great call. It’s not like we’re hosting the World Cup
And a DEM(!) rep who sat behind Mullins at his confirmation hearing has constituents who fly out of NYC airports. (Josh’s probably just worried about how it affects his stock portfolio…how does he not even have a primary challenger??) #nj05deservesbetterthangottheimer
Someone convince me that’s NOT Laura Benanti…kidding she wouldn’t get that close to it.
There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.
And a lot of people, many in positions of power, did a lot of things to cover it up and silence those women. For years. Just so we’re all clear, for the millionth time, he wasn’t sorry and he didn’t have consent. Anyway. Glad that’s all over and stuff like that never happens anymore. 🤡
Pam bondi ignoring Epstein survivors
may this define her for the rest of her life.
she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired.
girl, bye.
Today almost everything legit I see could easily have been a past #AprilFools . Oy.
Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.

Hahaha—just happy to be of help! It’s all yours!!! 🤣
Is this the football one? Yay!
Go 3 cents!
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.
Trump could have done this on Day 1 and TSA agents could’ve been paid all along. But he and Republicans devised a plan that they were going to leverage airport chaos to get Democrats to cave. It was a coordinated campaign with Fox. They used TSA and travelers as political pawns.
NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms.
You have to listen to this.
We tried to get funding to TSA workers SEVEN times. Republicans blocked them all.
Don’t let them tell you this isn’t their fault.
To be clear, ICE agents are still being paid. TSA agents are not. A gut punch for these folks who have to work under this reality.
📌 Senate Dems tried 7 times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.
This is how a President should respond.
