Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla collectively received $51 billion in tax breaks, thanks to the Trump and GOP corporate tax cuts signed into law last year. Together they effectively paid a federal tax rate of 4.9%, according to @itep.org. itep.org/trump-meta-t...

Four Big Tech Companies Avoid $51 Billion in Taxes in Wake of One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Four of the corporations whose CEOs flanked President Trump at his 2025 inauguration ceremony have now disclosed that they collectively received $51 billion in federal tax breaks in 2025, much of that...

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

I saw that ICE is pretending to be Jehovah’s Witnesses in MN now. The JW’s I have known as co-workers and friends have been some of the gentlest kindest humans I have ever known. Cheeses me off.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

The Trump Administration: Should we a) Release the Epstein Files or b) Bomb Iran and engage in a destructive war as a distraction? Bomb Iran.

This banner of Donald Trump on the DOJ headquarters building is giving 1930s Germany vibes.

Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

The Epstein class — aka the billionaires — are running this country.

‪Roger Sollenberger‬: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows

The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.
