A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

It's almost April Remember: YOU PAY TAXES SO BILLIONAIRES DON'T HAVE TO When you hear those never- ending tax commercials, feel the truth of that statement Protest Vote💙💙💙

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024. That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes. So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period? This tax code is a complete joke.

This used to be Tulsi Gabbard.

Susie Wiles and some guy with an “alcoholic personality.”

-They are hiding the Epstein Files -They are hiding the video of the boat murder -They are hiding job numbers -They are hiding military leadership from the press -They are hiding Trump's repeated health issues -They are hiding detainees taken illegally *They do this because they are lying cowards.

DEUTSCHE: “.. present, no start-up in history has operated with expected losses on anything approaching this scale. We are firmly in uncharted territory.”

AI speculation has been fueling the US stock market in 2025. If the bubble burst(and it will if huge losses continue ad nauseam), expect a crash much like the dotcom debacle.

THIS!

The other big pardons this week.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

One of two big pardons of the week.

In sworn testimony during his trial, a witness testified that former President Hernández once said that he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” Now he is going to be granted a pardon by President Trump — not even a commutation — and be freed from a 45-year prison sentence.

Chuck was in on the scam. Durbin, his second in command, would never vote “against” him on a strategic vote, unless there was an agreement or understanding. After all the flak Schumer got a few months ago for caving on the CR, he couldn’t vote “yes” again.

Sen. Murphy’s phrasing is spot on. Why isn’t he in Democratic leadership?

Yep. When it’s a wealthy, politically powerful white male, non consensual sex(both forced and exploited) isn’t molestation and rape, it’s merely “handsy.” Ask Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher!

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

I guess those huge tax cuts for billionaires are more important. /s/

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

.. Is this Better ?

100% tariffs on pharmaceuticals will target the elderly more than any demographic. You have to wonder why he’s doing it. Does he want to kill off seniors in order to save social security and medicare dollars?

Scum. An MSNBC commentator gets canned for speaking an obvious truth. And these folks get a clap on the back for promoting mass murder. Great country you’ve got here.

The jokes write themselves in this timeline.

“Scheduling conflict.” I love it. How dismissive.

Merkley had a pretty effective day. Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Doesn’t really fit in with the white, evangelical christian narrative.

They forgot this part.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Why does a military parade have a corporate sponsor

‘To announce that there must be no criticism of the president… is morally treasonable to the American public.’ – Theodore Roosevelt

At least they're not threatening to also take away your Social Security as your 401K gets tanked. Oh wait.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Meanwhile Paul, Weiss has announced its rebranding to Neville, Chamberlain.
