The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

You ever just feel like you hate almost everyone? The USA is a dystopian torture chamber for people with fully functional brains.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

New disclosures reveal the number of corporations and trade groups lobbying on data center issues has doubled since last year. Meanwhile, Big Tech companies are pouring millions of dollars into the midterm elections. We must stop the AI takeover before it’s too late.

A century-old Texas farm shouldn't have to sacrifice its future for infrastructure built to benefit the Greedy Few. Family farms are being asked to bear the cost while corporations get the power they need. Texans deserve a grid that protects our land, our communities, and the people who feed us.

A news-style graphic from the Express-News shows a person in a cap looking out over a large green farm field under an overcast sky. Overlaid text reads: "Century-old H-E-B-tied farm threatened by biggest-ever Texas transmission line." The graphic highlights concerns that a proposed 765-kilovolt transmission line could cut through a century-old farm in Atascosa County that supplies fresh produce to H-E-B.

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

THIS IS AN ABDUCTION IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. 🚨 Masked ICE agents tackling and snatching a man right off the street in Brownsville, Texas! This violence and terror in our communities cannot be tolerated. We MUST demand accountability and justice NOW!

The Corporatists say the future is more servers. We think the future is healthier soil, stronger family farms, and products made by Texans instead of monopolies. Let's invest in the future that actually helps Texas.

The latest survey of the U.S. Senate race from Texas Public Opinion Research shows Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton, 45% to 40%, marking the Austin state representative's largest lead in any public poll taken during the general election period.

Talarico leads Paxton by 5 points in new poll of Texas’ U.S. Senate race

The poll found the Austin Democrat with a commanding lead among independents and a surprising edge with non-college-educated voters, who have consistently favored Republicans.
