The company founded and formerly run by Energy Secretary Chris Wright paid no federal corporate income taxes last year, according to its regulatory filings, and actually got more than $10 million back from the IRS.

Liberty Energy, the oil field services company Wright founded in 2011 but left last year to join the Trump administration, was among several energy companies included in a report issued Tuesday by the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy naming 88 companies that together made more than $105 billion before taxes last year but paid no federal corporate income taxes.

@SenateDems @SenWarren Don't think you understand what the word free means.

Gas prices in the US are up over 20% in the past two weeks (from $2.98/gallon to $3.59/gallon). That's the biggest two-week spike that we've seen in the past 30 years.

In every clip I've seen of Noem today, she's saying something she can't know or that is a lie. She also undercuts 2A to say carrying ammo is a problem on its face. I know it's too much to expect people to be responsible, but this is opposite of a grown-up doing the job.

2014. Bill Kristol advocates for the deportation of migrant children.

George Stephanopoulos says that Obama needs to send a message to migrants that they need to go back home.

Even Ana Navarro was sort of reasonable back then. Strange times

Tim Walz’s appointee in charge of the state’s accounting and finances said they do not have tools to hold agencies accountable for fraud - despite it being their job!

“Madam chair, we do not have a tool to hold agencies accountable.”

I've lived in 5 states, visited several more. Been around plenty of white people.

The number of negative racial incidents I've had in decades I could count with one hand.

Since 2021, I've lost count as to how many times a white leftist has called me a coon, nigger, house nigger

BREAKING: Protesters STORM Minneapolis Church | “THE PASTOR IS ICE?!” https://t.co/wdqV8qxdQC

EXCLUSIVE: Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob

What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining.

Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded.

Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant.

“My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.”

The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee.

Lee emphasized to Alpha News that the group’s political views were mixed, but said the encounter left some of them reconsidering their positions.

“One of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”
