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.

No one has done anything to try to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He's breaking that law. Who has filed Articles of Impeachment for that? Who has invoked Rule IX and forced a vote? WTF, @houserepublicans.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social ?!?!
Some good news for freedom of the press (and their sources).
A win! The Justice Department has withdrawn the subpoenas seeking phone records and grand jury testimony from New York Times journalists. Always remember that public pressure makes a difference. Thank you!
Fact checking the WH and contextualizing the mistruths is a full time job. (As if we needed yet another unpaid gig.)
The White House is now sharing this headline. Here’s the full context. About 6,600 people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or state IDs were mistakenly registered to vote because of a software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission

#VoteCollinsOut If she's this out of touch with the reality of what's going with #ICE, she shouldn't be making political decisions about ICE. Or anything.
This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT
To be clear ... #AbolishICE and #ICEOutEverywhere But yes, they can stop their vehicle stops, too.
DHS has just announced it will be halting most vehicle stops nationwide amidst the last two murders at the hand of ICE. Source: www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-age...
