Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

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.

My #Duolingo streak as of today.

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.

Dear Gods, do not give him any more ideas! 😬

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Has Donald Trump Finally Lost It? Donald Trump’s mental decline has gotten worse.Why is the media only barely starting to report on it?And why won’t they

Trump has been losing it for a while now, but in the last few months it’s become far worse.

This has put all of us in danger.

Should I let the turkey into the school of public policy?

Sid Krofft, 96, a Creator of Trippy Kids’ Shows Like ‘H.R. Pufnstuf,’ Dies

Sid Krofft, who with his brother Marty made some of the most bizarre children’s programming ever seen on television, like “H.R. Pufnstuf” and “Land of the Lost,” died on Friday in Los Angeles. He was 96.

"Democrats can pull victory from the jaws of defeat by coalescing around Porter."

A screenshot of a Facebook post by CBS 2 Boise. The post text reads: "A new state law required the City of Boise to take down the Pride flag outside City Hall. Tuesday morning, the City wrapped flag poles in Pride colors and added a new sign to the window on City Hall. CBS2 reached out to the Mayor and Governor’s office for comment." ​Below the text is a collage of three photos showing these updates: ​Left: A tall metallic flagpole in a plaza at night, with its lower section wrapped in horizontal stripes matching the colors of the Progress Pride flag (black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). ​Top Right: A closer view of a flagpole base, also wrapped in horizontal Progress Pride flag colors. ​Bottom Right: A large window on City Hall featuring a graphic with diagonal stripes in the Progress Pride colors alongside the text, "Creating a city for everyone."

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors.

This is amazing.

Fact check: Trump falsely claims, again, that his pre-9/11 book warned about Osama bin Laden | CNN Politics President Donald Trump likes to portray himself as a visionary, someone who sees important things before others. Trump has been claiming for the last decade that in a book he released the year before ...

Trump's 9/11 prediction claim has been widely debunked. But he keeps repeating it because he's a pathological liar with no sense of how unhinged he appears to the non-cult public.

Trump claimed today that he predicted 9/11. He's out of his mind. The media need to be writing about his mental unfitness every day until we get rid of him and save our country. (As I wrote last October.)

I really like this version (despite it being AI & a lyrical glitch). I love the original, and absolutely love the Turisas cover, too (posted in comments).
