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.

Final: Lynx 108, Fever 100 Lynx win their 10th straight, longest win streak for them since 2016 and improve to 25-6 on the season.
The way to beat the Fever is to sustain your defense because you are going to eat at the other end. Their comebacks happen when they try harder on offense. After a bevy of buckets that way, Reeve calls time. Still double digits at 98-88 but surge is here. Good time out.
Trump's Medicaid work requirements are putting even terminally ill patients through bureaucratic nightmares to keep their health insurance — all to fund even more tax cuts for the wealthy.
While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.
My sincere religious beliefs demand that we send people who defraud and lie under oath to prison.
tomwellborn3rd@wellborn.net · last wk.Kim Davis told the court under oath she'd made no transfers over two thousand dollars in five years. Deeds show she moved three parcels worth over four hundred thousand to family members eight months before that. She wants the martyrdom without the debt.
Prisciliano Trejo Ricano came to the U.S. at 3yrs old. ICE took him this June. He was 29. He told his family he didn't feel right but ICE wouldn't give him medical attention. After a month, ICE finally moved him to a hospital Prisciliano died five days later enlacelatinonc.org/en/Young-Mex...

Relevant, re: demonstrations in Seattle last night. Cheryl, always thoughtful and insightful on these topics. Also a very thoughtfully worded question from @anikabesst.bsky.social:
Jesse Thorn@jessethorn.bsky.social · last wk.Cheryl Reeve, winningest coach in WNBA history, defends transgender athletes against sports bans. “Exclusion is never the answer. Separate isn’t equal. Trans lives matter.” 💗🏳️⚧️💗🏀💗
I'm wearing a David Ortiz Twins jersey to Target Field tonight in case anyone was wondering
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
I also did an interview with Paul Semel about my book, so if you can't get enough of me (and let's be honest, we've all had enough of me), here you go! (it does have a picture of our dog though)

President Obama met with the WNBA all-stars in Chicago this weekend. I love how he's a big fan of the league like I am and knows all of the players by name. Remember what it was like to have a normal, well-mannered, kind-hearted president? I miss that.
