Billionaire Larry Ellison just had the way cleared for him to purchase Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers owns CNN.

This means yet another Trump-allied billionaire is controlling our media sources.

Billionaire wealth is warping our society beyond recognition.

Tax the rich.

Holy sh*t.

You paid more for your Eras Tour or Cowboy Carter nosebleed seats than Ticketmaster paid in federal income taxes last year.

Because they paid $0.

Our tax code and our economy are so broken.

People know those tax cuts last summer weren't for them.

They know tariffs are killing their pocketbooks.

They can see their healthcare bills skyrocketing.

You really can't hide a rigged economy behind a "booming stock market" anymore.

We're onto the game.

Tennessee GOP Intro Bill To Kill Women Who Get An Abortion Here's an update on the bill, on the men responsible, and how you can contact them to stop this bill

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion.

I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP.

Jesse Jackson’s Timeless Economic Platform He ran for President twice on the concerns that still define American political life—inequality, affordability, and vanishing jobs.

Services in remembrance of Jesse Jackson have started in Chicago. I wrote a column recalling his 1988 presidential campaign and discussing his economic legacy.

Does anyone really think that 70 billion-dollar corporations needed tax breaks more than we needed healthcare, housing, childcare, education, and food assistance?

The same people who rigged the system to make billionaires and corporations more money and power want you to think that the people who came from another country to build a better life are responsible.

They're not.

They're getting just as screwed as we are by this rigged system.

Immigrants didn't make healthcare too expensive, insurance companies did.

Immigrants didn't buy up the housing market, private equity did.

Immigrants didn't turn our tax code upside down, billionaires did.

Immigrants aren't taking your jobs, billion-dollar corporations are.

Wow.

Tesla is trying to get a verdict tossed that would make them compensate the family of a 22-year old that was killed using their Autopilot feature.

This is not the type of company we should be letting get away with paying ZERO DOLLARS IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.

Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq?

Over 8,000 Americans killed. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Trillions of dollars spent.

Nobody has explained how a war with Iran helps America. Because it won't.

You paid a higher tax rate last year than Google, Amazon, Meta, Citigroup, Etsy, Coca-Cola, Live Nation, AirBNB, Exxon Mobil, Hershey, Tesla, Roku, and Southwest Airlines.

There is no excuse for a tax code like this.

BILLIONAIRES AREN'T LOOKING OUT FOR US.

CORPORATIONS AREN'T LOOKING OUT FOR US.

THEY'RE GETTING RICHER. WE'RE GETTING SCREWED.

THEIR TAX BREAKS AREN'T "TRICKLING DOWN."

THE TAX CODE HAS BEEN RIGGED AGAINST US.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes on $5.7 BILLION in income last year.

Their executive pay package is projected to make Elon Musk a TRILLIONAIRE.

And they're trying to get out of compensating the family of a 22-year old woman who was killed using Tesla Autopilot.

The Supreme Court's tariff decision means the government may have to pay corporations $175 BILLION in refunds.

Corporations raised prices and passed those costs off to you.

Your family likely paid $1,700 in tariff fees last year.

And corporations are getting the refund.

Scam.

Billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer in Trump's first year in office.

They and their corporations were handed massive tax giveaways last summer.

The rest of us can't afford healthcare, rent, childcare, student loans, or groceries.

The state of the union?

It's real bad.

Trump's tariffs cost you $1,700 last year while he gave billionaires and their corporations massive tax breaks.

If you remember nothing else during his speech tonight, remember that.

Not sure how you're going to go on national television and tell millions of people that this economy is booming when they can see it with their own eyes that it's not.

Billionaires have all the money. And the government keeps stealing from US to give THEM more.

Tax the rich.

Casual reminder that the tax package Trump passed in 2017 actually incentivized offshoring by cutting the foreign tax rate to HALF the domestic tax rate.

You paid more for a Cheesy Gordita Crunch than Taco Bell's parent brand Yum Foods paid in federal income taxes last year.

Because they paid $0.

Live Nation made $145 BILLION last year.

They paid $0 in federal income taxes.

They used Ticketmaster to sell fans nosebleed seats at $1,000 a pop, and they are paying zero federal income taxes.

If that doesn't make you want to tax the rich, I don't know what will.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Republicans literally cut Medicaid so that giant corporations could pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter.

That’s not fair, and it’s not fiscally responsible either. Our taxpayer dollars SHOULD be going toward things like health care—not tax breaks for billionaires.

The 25 biggest philanthropists in America donated $34 billion last year.

Billionaires got $1.5 TRILLION richer in that time.

25 people gave away 0.02% of the wealth 935 billionaires gained.

Why are we exploding the deficit and cutting healthcare to give them tax breaks again?
