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.

WTF!?!?

Until we get it right - AND have Senate CONVICT to finish it!

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…

If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

Hungary's New PM Just Showed Us What Courage Looks Like. Where's Ours? Hypothetically, if I was elected President, here are the opening salvos of restoration

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.

Pricing the Iran War's Future — Are Markets Right? | Prof G Markets YouTube video by The Prof G Pod – Scott Galloway

A pretty great conversation with Ed Elson and @katie0martin.ft.com about what financial markets can tell us at critical moments, and what they're telling us about the war in Iran and America's place in the world. youtu.be/Jr7X0tlOl1k?...

White text on a red background reads: “The PMC takes another step closer to killing Preschool for All, just like they’re coming for PCEF. They want to keep money at the top, and for working families to stay poor or move out of the county because they can’t afford to live here anymore.” Below the text is a collage of Andrew Hoan with red laser eyes that are burning a Preschool For All yard sign. He is holding lots of money.

A clipping of a headline from KGW which reads “Preschool for All should be set for funding over the next few years, report tells Multnomah County leaders” is overlaid with a big red NOPE! Underneath in white text on a red background: “A report that came out this week says PFA will be fine without the voter-approved 0.8% funding increase. This ignores the thousands of kids who still can’t get a spot. Most of the people who wrote this report are in the PMC network, with no expertise in early childhood education or economics. So when they say “fine” they mean…”

On a red background, Mr Moneybags says “Preschool for All will be fine!” surrounded by thought bubbles that read “...…unless there’s a recession” “...if there will be way fewer kids” “...…if we lowball what it actually costs to educate a kid while paying staff a living wage” Below this is white text that reads “Austerity is never fine. Tax the rich.”

White text on a red background reads: “What they’re really scared of is working people looking to Zohran’s New York, and seeing that instead of refunding the rich, we could roll out the program to include all 3- and 4-year-olds and then move down to include 2-year-olds, too. But we won’t let them take what’s ours - sign the petition today, sign up for emails at friendsofPFA.org, and join Portland DSA!”

The PMC takes another step closer to killing Preschool for All, just like they’re coming for PCEF.

They want to keep money at the top, and for working families to stay poor or move out of the county because they can’t afford to live here anymore.
