JD Vance: "If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer"

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.

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

ICE agents violently attacked Dr. Norma Bowe in front of Delaney Hall. She was there to run a mobile health clinic. ICE's cruelty knows no bounds — in or out of detention centers. @aclu-nj.org joined dozens of ACLU affiliates to represent people who were harmed by federal immigration agents.

This nurse brings healthcare to people outside a detention center. She says ICE agents assaulted her.

This week, the ACLU announced it has filed 54 claims on behalf of Norma Bowe and others who allege violence and additional harms from federal immigration officials.

MEDIA PSA: When you call it the $1.8 Billion “anti-weaponization fund” you’re helping Trump sane-wash it It’s an “insurrectionist slush fund” A “heist” or “theft” from taxpayers A “scheme” to enrich himself When you use his words you aren’t a journalist, you’re a stenographer

SABR is hard. #SABR54

Not sure what I like more, the cards or the package they came in. Thanks @girlswagger101.bsky.social and of course @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social

The inaugural season for the new Women’s Pro Baseball League is here! Happy Opening Day!

This starts today! You can watch on ESPN at 5:00. I personally have chosen the Firebells as my team for now, because I have no sports grudges about San Francisco and because they have the best name by a mile. www.womensprobaseballleague.com

For the remainder of the 2026 season commission a 2.5 by 3.5 inch piece equal to a $1 per #Mets victory. Currently we are sitting at $46 shipped. They've been playing better. I'd get on board sooner than later. Commissions do not need to be sport related, size is consistent. #baseball #artforsale

The rumors are true! Next year’s SABR convention will be in Birmingham, Alabama! This means if MLB happens to be shut down for a work stoppage it won’t affect conference activities. (Rickwood Field is on my bucket list!)

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.

State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.
