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.
NEW: Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.
The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

Wow. Iowa MAGA Senate candidate @RepAshleyHinson has taken nearly $90,000 in donations from billionaires named in the Epstein Files.
A vote for Ashley is a vote to continue all the corruption and coverups in DC.

So @FoxNews spent weeks talking about the “vandals” destroying the reflecting pool. Now the the Govt has admitted that Trump hired terrible contractors who screwed it up and dropped the charges against the “vandal” our friends at @FoxNews have no coverage of that fact.
So in the minds of most Fox viewers, it was still vandalized.
They are the worst.

Joseph Harding, the Florida Republican who sponsored the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, has been accused of illegally obtaining tens of thousands of dollars in COVID-relief funds.
@CraftsByAlison I am a strong advocate for vaccines, but there is no doubt that some people have had bad reactions to the COVID vaccine. I'm incredibly sorry you're experiencing all this and hope doctors find a way to alleviate your suffering and get you back to your pre-vax state of health. 🙏
wild anecdote here from former NJ Gov Christie Whitman, who essentially says Trump tried to get her to oppose an infrastructure project, with what amounted to kompromat on her son

I was a prosecutor in Uvalde Texas, a border county. These were very vulnerable people who picked crops and working ranches. They didn’t commit crimes. The cruelty of Treating these people as livestock is pure fascism. #MorningJoe
Rachel Maddow points out that criticism of former U.S. attorney Geoffrey Berman not speaking up at the time about Trump/Barr efforts to political corrupt the DOJ should be tempered by the contemporaneous squawking that he actually did do.
"The Select Committee has developed a massive body of evidence... It hasn’t always been easy... because the same people who drove the former President’s pressure campaign to overturn the election are now trying to cover up the truth about January 6th."
