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.

Cindy McCain — widow of the late John McCain — and their son, Jimmy McCain, will host a fundraiser for incumbent Governor of Arizona Katie Hobbs, according to MS NOW.

Hobbs will likely face election denier Andy Biggs in November.

REMEMBER WHEN VOTING:

Many of the bills passed by this admin cutting funding to social aid programs and various agencies, etc do not go into effect until *after* the mid-terms in Nov.

That's by design to help them retain seats in congress before the shit hits the fan.

Vote accordingly.

This is like saying people were "lifted" off of cancer because they died
Trump: "Under our leadership, 5 million people have been lifted off food stamps just in a short period of time"

"The death, illness, diminished capacity, or fading energy of an aging politician in the middle of a term or campaign can create havoc, uncertainty, and openings for political mischief." Age limits on politicians are good for democracy. @jilldlawrence.bsky.social:

Sure, some people can work well into old age. But we still need age limits on candidates for office.

Each time Trump swaps out an experienced civil servant for a loyalist, he strips away another layer of the government that’s supposed to safeguard the rest of us.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

FRANKLIN, TN — Pastor Kevin Riggs: “I used to be in the inner circle of the evangelical church in Franklin… the only thing worse than authoritarianism/dictatorship is theocracy. We must push back against Christian Nationalism, rebuild and defend the wall separating church & state.”

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.

I'm reminded of the old joke that a Protestant looks around and thinks there have been some weird cults popping up lately; a Catholic looks around and sees 500 years of cults; a Jew looks around and sees 2000 years of cults; and for an Atheist, it's just cults as far as the eyes can see.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Blasphemy from a president who has built his authoritarian political movement on the heresy of christian nationalism, as reflected in his post.

This is what trump does with everything he says he’s done. He takes what other presidents did, destroys it & when he puts it back he says it was all his idea. He’s done this his entire life. The republicans think their voters are so gullible that they’ll believe it when they tell them the same lie.

It should come as a surprise to no one who pays attention, but here they are just laying it out. “Economy” only means the stock market and corporate profits…the things that make *them* money. It does not mean wages, jobs, or *our* ability to buy things like food, shelter, or goods.
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
