The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger: 🧵

No infantry needed. Ukrainian robots, for the first time, capture a Russian position: Ukrainian defenders managed to take control of an enemy position using drones & ground robotic systems. Infantry did not take part in the operation, states Zelenskyy: RBC UA News newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/no-infa...

He is correct. It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate. Causing debate and division. "Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

. Funny how this works . . . .

May Trick-or-Treat as a doctor this Halloween

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

youtube.com/shorts/okjsL... There were a lot of catholic maga…. I wonder how many he is losing daily?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We need to get this nut job out of office!

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

Looks like Putin and Trump weren’t able to rig the election in Hungary. Good news and gives us optimism for our elections in November.

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

Hillary Clinton: "I think our allies believe we've lost our minds because they wake up in the morning like we do and see the rants from the president making no sense half the time"

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Now 14 months in, Canada’s rejection of the U.S. is the most successful tourism boycott in memory.

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

America, you really don't need the Epstein files. You already know the truth. 😕

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.

Trump’s genocidal rant marked the end of the American century President Truman and JFK expressed that the US cared for the world’s poor, says Peter Frankopan, while the current administration seems only to care about the supposed glory of America, and destroying their enemies

Texas: The Land Of No Water And Power open.substack.com/pub/lonestar... Hey Texans, do you like air conditioning, running appliances, being able to shower etc. We need to demand that data centers supply their own water and electricity at their expense. This is not sustainable.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

CARNEY: “.. Many of our former strengths — which rested on our close ties with the United States — have become our weaknesses.” 🇨🇦

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. 1/

The President Of The United States is a liar, a fraud, a con-man, and a rapist.

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

No rich, well connected person surrounded by power would be dumb enough to appear, out of the blue, for no admitted reason, on national TV to *pre-deny* through a well written lie that they were involved in a child-trafficking ring. Oh, except for Lutnick. Wait, and now Melania?!

. Melania Trump will not sue the author of the book that disclosed her involvement with Epstein? Trump will not sue the victim that claimed he raped her when she was a minor. To do so would mean discovery & Trump nor Melania want that. WHAT ELSE DO PEOPLE NEED?? .

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

Hey remember this post? Wtf happened...

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

🤮

The public DOES have a right to know.

"With his bloodthirsty utterances, his fierce loyalty to Trump and his appalling inability to manage this huge moment in world history, Hegseth is every bit the disaster that anybody sensible could have seen coming," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?

How is this Kernen guy still on TV. Hes like a drunk MAGA uncle. Total buffoon.

Iranian officials said the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will happen once the U.S. withdraws its "aggression" and Israel halts attacks on Lebanon

If you were looking for the pope to come to the United States this year, that is now canceled. After receiving threats from the president of the United States, the Vatican feels it is not safe. Let’s just sit with that a little while.

He literally said *yesterday* that he was considering a “joint venture” to help Iran charge people for using the Strait. He said the day before that he didn’t care if they made a little money off of it. Someone give pawpaw his dementia meds.

We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.
