Facebook launched 22 years ago this week. In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

“It's actually sweet All the time you've spent on me It's honestly wild All the effort you've put in It's actually romantic I really gotta hand it to you, ooh No man has ever loved me like you do” Taylor Swift’s song seems to sum up the Donnie/ Barack thing. 😉

With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing. Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are. #ProudBlue #WinterOlympics

🤣 The difference between an intelligent President vs a President dumb as a rock! 🤣

The US president indulges in horrific racism online. And the BBC report on this outrageous behaviour? I can’t see a word about it on their site. Am I missing it?

Airline bookings to the U.S. in advance of the World Cup are soft, calling into question whether the high-profile tournament will deliver the boon U.S. tourism officials are expecting.

Instead of demanding apologies or engaging in futile debates whether this is racist, Democrats should just inform the public that this is who Trump is, and this is what Republicans who refuse to denounce it, or make excuses for it, have become.

The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showed a jump in the number of respondents who say ICE has gone too far in enforcing immigration law with ● 65% overall ● 93% Democrats ● 27% Republicans ● 71% Independents. Hello midterms!

Folks, we really gotta lobby for this one. Time to start emailing the committee. [email protected]

For those just catching up, the president posted a racist video depicting the Obamas, WH press secretary said he did, but it's no big deal since it's popular meme, and now a staffer is blamed for erroneously posting it. All in a few hours. Yea. It's like this every fucking day now.

Don’t worry.

Trump’s getting desperate. He’s scared as hell the Midterms will be a complete disaster for the Republicans and they will demand a scapegoat.

This is so racist this man is destroying all values of this country .Vote during the midterms!

📰🇪🇺 Fears grow in Europe that Putin could attack within a year — WP Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.

The CHILDREN? "There was very much a class aspect to this. A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds. Some of them had been abused in their own families. CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN." AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Now we enter the phase where the same black Republicans are brought out again to vouch for Trump that he isn’t a racist.

Tons of important news to talk about today on, Coffee With Texas Paul, however I'm going to start with how a person I deeply respect and like very much, @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social, managed to scare the crap out of me this morning. Join us in the live chat.

JUST IN: Trump DELETES racist post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, blames a "White House staffer." Karoline Leavitt previously defended the post and criticized the public outcry as "fake outrage."

NEWS: Ahead of the Super Bowl, the DCCC launched an online tool that allows users to see how grocery prices have changed under Republican leadership.

Trump now demands renaming New York Pennsylvania Station inTrump Station and threatening freezing billions of dollar in funding if not. Penn Station of course is payed for by citizens and taxpayers and named by the government. It’s his old pattern: don’t stop threatening and doing bad things.

This... remember Pizzagate? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤷🏾‍♀️

Ich habe dem #ADAC als Mitglied eine E-Mail geschrieben, in der ich beklage, dass der Verein eingeknickt ist und Verkehrspräsidenten Gerhard Hillebrand sein Amt verloren hat. Als Antwort bekomme ich die Textbausteine, die Kritiker*innen von Hillebrand geschickt wurden.

The 2024 presidential candidate has rebooted her campaign-era KamalaHQ account.
