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 β€” sometimes, ev...

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011.

In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.

This is how he did it (published 2021):

This week, Temporary Protected Status for 350K Haitians in the U.S. was set to expire, with no White House plan to renew it.

Many warned this would lead to mass roundups of people unable to safely return to Haiti.

Today, Judge Reyes blocked it from happening.

Her ruling was scathing. πŸ‘‡

WTF! 96 violations, and "future noncompliance with court orders **may** result in future show-cause orders". 96 isn't enough? The justice system has rolled over and is showing its belly again.

Every eligible voter needs to get out there and vote in the midterms.

If the Democrats don’t take back Congress, our country is lost forever.

WTF!? The injunction should have been completely unnecessary, since it only said that the ICE agents need to follow existing laws regarding attacking peaceful protestors. It is outrageous to claim that such a restriction would unduly hinder their enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

β€œOur American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

There are exceptions written into the bill that tRump and gang can drive a truck through.
Nothing with child porn or any image of abuse (so none of the videos). Nothing that would 'jeopardize an active federal investigation'. Nothing 'authorized under an Executive Order to be kept secret'.

Trump is guilty of multiple murders by bombing of civilian boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Even if those boats had drug runners the killings were not legal. Even if they had been tried and found guilty of drug running, the penalty would not be death.

Exactly right. Fighting to keep premiums from spiking is good, but they should really be fighting to truly fix this broken system. #MedicareForAllNOW

The arguments over whether Trump is already a dictator seem to miss a key point: He thinks he's a dictator and no one is disabusing him of the notion.

Since he always accuses others of whatever he's doing, this probably means that he's again working with the Russian mafia to rig this election.
