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.
Trump admin flips switch to allow mining on huge national preserve in Calif, sparking lawsuit www.sfgate.com/national-par...
Several people with signs like this at the Boston Marathon today
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
DOJ seeks to vacate insurrectionists’ convictions, while going after a former CIA Director: If Trump can make convictions disappear for allies while prosecuting critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical. Once that line is crossed, it doesn’t easily uncross itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Wasn’t this Ivanka’s pet issue in the first term??
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
19 April 1943 | Groups of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the uprising against Germans. Their heroic battle lasted 27 days.
Today we remember the bravery & sacrifice of people who chose to resist against impossible odds to die in dignity & save the human spirit.

Which alarms you more? That Pete Hegseth is allowed to give sermons at the Pentagon in an effort to incite holy wars – or that he actually thought a world-wide audience would believe Quentin Tarantino fake Bible quote was real?

Well, you know I’m focused on the California governor’s race so I would appreciate amplifying @xavierbecerra.bsky.social voice.
He’s an idiot!
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.
US importers will get tariff refunds, but not consumers. "‘Costco stands to recover the same tariff payments twice — once from consumers through higher prices & again from the federal govt. through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the govt. on those funds.’” www.forbes.com/sites/taxnot...
ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart
After Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé’s husband died, an inheritance battle exploded. Her stepson then used his influence to have her arrested by ICE, an Alabama probate judge said.
A supporter of the president is soliciting $500,000 donations for a meeting with Trump this week in Arizona.
The message: If you’re wealthy, the White House is listening.
The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom, one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits. This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation. Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection. Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started? The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass"
Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?
I say this often because it must be said: my daughter’s generation has fewer rights now than when they were born.
My father spoke of staying awake during times of change. Today, we are witnessing a generation that refuses to sleep. They see clearly. They act boldly. They will shape what comes next.
JD Vance said Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein hated each other!
Does it look like these two guys hated each other?
