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.

2/ Around $60 million flooded this race. $54 million backed Haley Stevens, just $5 million backed El-Sayed. Nearly 11 to 1 against him and he still won. Nearly all of it was billionaire or big business funded support. That money will now move to Rogers www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
El-Sayed leads Stevens in closely watched Democratic US Senate primary
Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens are in a tight contest in what's become the most-expensive Democratic U.S. Senate primary contest in U.S. history.

1/ 🧵 The most expensive Dem. Senate primary in US history just ended. El-Sayed won anyway, outspent 11 to 1. The billionaires who lost tonight aren’t done. They’re about to switch sides & fund Mike Rogers instead. Here’s the playbook they’re about to run. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Emmanuel has proven to be an authentic global leader and statesman. Also -- kind of scorching hot.
Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????
Congratulations to Rep. Rashida Tlaib for securing the Democratic nomination in #MI12! Standing against genocide is good policy and good politics!
The U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on an Iranian family home, killing taxi driver Qeisar Jafari, his wife Zahra, & their 2-year-old son Sina. "Everyone in the chain of command who authorized this should be charged with murder." The New York Times found no military target anywhere near the house.
Trump and Epstein were in their 40s when they partied with young girls. Here’s an account about a 14-year-old girl who was told to “dress sexy” for a party at Mar-a-Lago where she was offered champagne. 2/6🧵

Recovery time from knee operations or replacements is harder + takes much longer than hip replacements. Hard to believe but true. #Blues My dgtr had both replaced.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
🎯 Senators Cornyn & Tillis said they wanted to get to yes on Todd Blanche for Trump and so they happily accepted sham papers to get there. Blanche’s destruction of the DOJ, malicious prosecutions and mishandling of the Epstein files didn’t matter.
Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

as millions of americans this year have had to give up their health insurance **specifically because** trump and republicans made the decision to send premiums skyrocketing, the administration now says everyone who's lost coverage must have been committing fraud: www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...
