I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand.

But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain.

There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year

Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate)

It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week.

Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before.

Here’s what’s really going on.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

The national debt has risen by $3.8 trillion since Trump took office, and economic growth is slowing.

This is far from the first time the economy has shuttered under a Republican president.

It’s time to dispel this one myth once and for all. Watch.

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in one day than the median US worker made the entire year.

Meanwhile, the median U.S. worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams and various grifts.

Is it any wonder why so many people are fed up?

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

One of the unintentional good things that past Peter did is leave bookmarks made by the kids randomly in my books. Today I found one by Wendy before she had figured out which way the n in her name went. She’s a pilot now.
The book is “The Fifth Elephant” by Terry Pratchett.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.

Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

How could any attorney work for a firm that won’t permit the attorneys to recuse if their ethics demand it?
SCOOP: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest.

A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi.
