Some of the biggest recipients of tax breaks in 2025 were these six corporations.
Together they got $83 billion in federal tax breaks thanks in large part to the passage of the Trump-Republican Big Ugly Bill.
Each are major players in the development of AI and data centers.
Remember this.

Why did an ordinary schoolbook become so treasured that enslaved people risked their lives to possess it?

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.
Because of my work and writing, I've talked to countless elected officials and their staffers about political violence over the past several years. Mostly Dem, though not all. The collective trauma for these folks is immeasurable and justified. With no recourse. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...
Congress confronts its own trauma
After an assassin’s hit list was revealed to contain multiple lawmakers, the pain of political violence hit home in new ways.
