Megyn Kelly: “Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was married to the mother of his children Ivana. Ivana accused him of raping her. She alleged he was so angry over the hair transplant he got that she made him get, it was so painful that he raped her. He winds up with Melania and if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, you’ve got bigger issues than I can solve”
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Zero out taxes for the bottom half of earners. A nurse in Queens shouldn’t be sending money to Washington. Washington should be sending her an apology.
Jeff Bezos just said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.
And honestly? He may have accidentally exposed the entire scam.
Bezos pointed to a nurse in Queens making roughly $75,000 a year and paying around $12,000 in taxes:
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
Think about how insane this system has become.
A nurse working 12-hour shifts is taxed before she even sees her paycheck while billionaires borrow against appreciating assets, exploit loopholes, and sometimes pay lower effective tax rates than school teachers.
The average American is funding an empire they can barely afford to live in.
Wars.
Interest payments.
Corporate subsidies.
Defense contracts.
Lobbyist wish lists.
Meanwhile the person changing bedpans in Queens gets her paycheck carved up like she’s financing Rome before collapse.
The most dangerous thing Bezos said wasn’t about taxes.
It was admitting out loud that the people carrying the country on their backs are getting crushed while the system tells them it’s “normal.”
BREAKING: As Donald Trump cancels free admission to National Parks on MLK Day, California will be offering FREE entry at more than 200 participating state parks.
Honor MLK. Get outdoors. And stick it to an old man with a fragile ego.
I’ll never forgive Mitch McConnell for kneecapping Barack Obama, stealing 2 Supreme Court seats, packing the lower courts with right wing fanatics & voting not to impeach Trump twice - so no, he doesn’t get a cookie for criticizing Trump’s lust for Greenland. He’s why we’re here.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
HOW FUCKING HARD CAN IT BE TO STOP AND REMOVE A CLEARLY DEMENTED AND UNHINGED PEDOPHILE WHO'S ALSO A CORRUPT TRAITOR AND A WAR CRIMINAL THAT KEEPS BREAKING DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS EVERY SINGLE DAY🤷 JESUS CHRIST AMERICA 🤦
You were never getting $2000 tariff rebate checks, the same way you were never getting $5000 DOGE refund checks.
But Trump doubled his family’s net worth.
Congratulations, you got conned.
ICE agents are responsible for the offenses they're committing.
But just one monster established the 3,000 arrests/day quota that he knew couldn't be met without turning America into a fascist state.
This is that man.
When the tables turn, he'll need to be imprisoned for life.
We're a year in of watching America's founding principles circling the drain under this tyrannical regime, but just a reminder: masked agents who can gun people down with “absolute immunity” is called fascism. Pure and simple.
🚨🔥HOLY SMOKES:
WELKER: Has Trump crossed the line for impeachment?
CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. This president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term than in his first.
“He’s stealing from the American people. Taking a luxury jet from Qatar. Trading national security access for billions in crypto investments. The corruption is nuclear-grade.”
That’s not rhetoric. That’s an indictment.
This is the time where every elected Republican must speak out, to save any shred of morality.
This is one of the most dangerous things this administration has done. These Republicans need to vote no on every Trump priority until this is pulled back.
The simple truth is that Renee Good would be alive today if Donald Trump were not president. And that’s the most disturbing reality about this entire tragedy.
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on January 6. Undisputed evidence, and I just said, President Trump pardoned all of them. You said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officers being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters. We just saw that."
