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.
Just. Let. Kids. Play. Sports are good for everyone. It’s not only for kids who want to go pro. Kids who aren’t good or who don’t fit the typical athlete mold or who are disabled… all should get to play. Verifying sex is bigoted, anti woman, and also anti kid.
the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.
"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

New Yorkers like getting food delivered way too much to have laws about making tipping easier stop us from ordering. Have you seen how small our kitchens are??
Look at how terrible this socialism is: “The windfall of tips comes after a city law cracking down on deceptive tipping practices by app-based delivery companies took effect in January … Since taking office, Mayor Mamdani has directed DCWP to vigorously enforce the laws.”
There was an era not too long ago when the White House publicly promoting tobacco products would've been seen as a faux pas
Ya know those rules that are oddly specific and you wonder what the story was behind them?
Guys. She’s perfect. (She just needs to be spray painted dark green now). Filtered the fluid - you can’t tell in this photo but it’s crystal clear - and the flow of the wax is so nice. Might tinker a tiny bit more with surfactants. I have 2 more coming. One to make for a 6 year old and one to play.
The algorithm sent me down a customizing lava lamp rabbit hole and now I just ordered a lava lamp. I feel like I’m 11 years old. But it’s white wax with clear fluid so that’s mature and classy right?
Nearly all concentration camp regimes involve the government making what were previously simple tasks of daily life unlawful or impossible for the group they’ve targeted for detention, bit by bit eradicating any possibility of public existence.

I'm in @theflytrapmedia.com this morning talking about one of my favorite topics: The explosive growth in special edition books, books as aesthetic, and what publishers choose to invest in. Threading some related reads I enjoyed too because a lot of people are talking about this.
A Forest of Special Editions and Influencers
What happens when books become aesthetic objects?

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

The US plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported generic drugs beginning in 2028, Trump says

"Look at how many more soldiers I can kill" is quite the pitch to the American public.
He still thinks this is a winning argument

More than anything else in decorating it is lighting that demonstrates how my taste is more expensive than my budget.
I mean, a federal judge just ordered formal sanctions against this nominee *this same week* What the hell are we doing here?
todd blanche even getting any sort of confirmation hearing is such a huge failure that I don't even know where to start, calling america a banana republic would be an insult to republics AND bananas

I pointed out last week that Title IX would be next on their list. The journalist I said it to was very angry at me. It's very predictable after reversing Roe, affirmative action, and allowing race based discrimination against Black voters, plus Thomas's concurrences trying out new arguments.
My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
Our local newspaper, The Portland Press Herald, has lifted their paywall on coverage of the ICE shooting of a man in Biddeford, Maine this morning. They have excellent reporters and will have much more accurate information than natl news as we learn more: www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...
