We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.
Meta got $13.7 BILLION.
Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND.
Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.
We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

The LaGuardia Crash Will Be Blamed on One Controller. That's Not the Whole Story.
3,000 controllers short. WWII-era radar still in use. And a lone controller managing two emergencies at midnight. This was preventable.

Have you seen the signs telling people about operation Epstein Fury? As more American soldiers pay the price for this war started by Trump, we will unfortunately see more signs like this.

With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.
Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

In 2025 the US averaged 49k new jobs a month compared to 168k in 2024.
To be clear these numbers were posted by the BLS today after Trump recently fired their statistics chief, claiming without evidence that the “jobs numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad”.

Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."
