Palantir Technologies has paid zero federal income taxes on over $1.5 billion in U.S. income for three consecutive years ending in 2025.

Good riddance.

Yes. This is why fascists TRY to erase the arts: because the arts document the history they donβ€˜t want to see.

This is why we must keep phone cameras ready like PRETTI, GOOD and others so fascists can’t remove history.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

The Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that this immunity is absolute for core constitutional powers, but does not apply to unofficial, private acts.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Bondi did more investigating of the committee members than of anyone mentioned in the Epstein files.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Trump Modeling Agency was closed in 2017, not long before the second Epstein investigation began in Dec 2018.

Too bad we no longer have investigating reporters.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?
