Corporate Tax Avoidance With earnings season now underway, dozens of huge corporations have disclosed paying single-digit federal income tax rates thanks to tax…

while this man has been talking 100 companies have managed to dodge $79.1 billion in taxes under his stupid tax law. Check out our ticker that tracks this as the data comes in #SOTU2026

An elementary school class wrote to Ozzie Albies for recommendations for fish for their new class pet

He showed up and taught them how to take care of it, set everything up and gifted them one of his own fish

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Bookman: Plan to end Georgia's income tax is an election-year illusion • Georgia Recorder Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is running for a promotion to governor, and he’s planning to use this session of the state Legislature as a stage for his campaign. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. That...

“Do you believe it is mathematically plausible to eliminate more than half of the state’s revenue, without cutting services and without raising other taxes, while benefitting all working Georgians equally?” georgiarecorder.com/2026/01/28/b...

A completely insane take.

Also, guess what gun ICE issues to it's officers? That's right, the same Sig P320 Pretti was carrying.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota
The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.

One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I think it’s a very dumb opinion to love snow games. Like why do you want to watch teams play in terrible weather just to see who screws up the least

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

So the Bills can carry their QB into the end zone and then not get called for pass interference on defense and basically do whatever they want that’s neat

It’s not enough for these people to brazenly lie to cover up a cold blooded killing by a trigger happy federal goon, they have to make up lies about the woman they killed and people like her to spit on her grave.
