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.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

For hours we hobbled back, until we were close enough for him to place me down and run for help * Read more in the kindness of strangers series We had heard there was an incredible waterfall somewhere deep in the Thai rainforest. Seeking it out almost killed me. In 2003 I was travelling solo through south-east Asia when I met Paul, an American with an easygoing, natural warmth.

@ejeancarroll.bsky.social: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains”
An American president being found liable for sexual assault is a national disgrace. It’s a stain on the country that will never wash out.
In one week, the linchpins of Donald Trump's shady, shoddy brand collapsed.
Trump's colossal week from hell leaves his brags in tatters
In one week, the linchpins of Donald Trump’s shady, shoddy brand collapsed. Epically.I’ve written before about whatever Donald Trump touches failing. This week, a soccer match, a woman's dignity, a peace deal and a reflecting pool all came back broken, peeling or on fire — all disasters that collide...
