Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

It's estimated that it would take about 40 billion dollars a year to solve world hunger.... we could get that just from taxing one company properly.
Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.
