They really stuck the landing on this one.

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, ev...

A reminder that in 2018 Elon Musk, when he was a mere babe in the billionaire woods, paid $0 federal income tax.

Obviously that'll change as he goes from obscenely rich to unfathomably wealthy, right?

A Nancy Pelosi appreciation post A look back at the former Speaker's finest hours

People naturally think of Nancy Pelosi's Trump era exploits, but a lot of the most interesting and impressive aspects of her career date back much earlier — ahead of the curve on China, a critical architect of the 2006 midterm win.

Genuinely don’t understand how Lindsey can even look in the mirror anymore.

One in eight Americans will struggle to put food on the table if the Trump shutdown extends through next week.

Yet Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.

Tell them it's time to clock back in—because they work for us:

Today is Day 27 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”

—Donald Trump, August 2024

Priorities.

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0.

Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

Always follow the money. per @progressivepolicy.org Trump tariffs exempted Russia so their fertilizer and metals now duty-free. And increased tariffs by 10% on fertilizer from Saudi Arabia & Qatar, 15% from Nigeria, 30% on South African palladium and rhodium. Russia picking up their market share 2/2

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

It’s OK MAGA; I’m sure it’ll never happen to your communities….

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

"I believed the Constitution brought the country more success than failure, and I believed our presidents took their oaths to it seriously," writes Doug Krugman, who served for 24 years in the United States Marine Corps.

"With President Trump, I no longer believe that."

Today is Day 16 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Thou Shalt Not Shoot Priests in the Head I shouldn’t have to say these things.

Thou shalt not shoot priests in the head. I shouldn’t have to say this.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Now that Trump has lost the peace prize, maybe he can start fulfilling his campaign promises:

• Free IVF
• 100% Tax Free Tips
• Release Epstein files
• Lower Grocery Prices
• 100% Tax Free Overtime
• 100% Tax Free Social Security
• 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

Wow. This really says it all.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House.

This government shutdown is on them.

The government shut down last night and House Republicans were on vacation.

How many Schedule 1 substances must be consumed in order to understand these words? The number certainly is not zero.
