I met my husband and became a mother in WI.
But I grew up in Jersey and know what to do when interrupted, even by a Senator. #TaxTheRich

USDA just posted a veterinary job that will likely help handle New World screwworm. Applications due in 6 (!!!) days.

Comes after USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service lost 25% of its staff last year. https://t.co/VtrXoPVrd3

How much could your state raise? Find out here https://t.co/UD0gCzWpEY

[ITEP @iteptweets]

For decades, most states have exempted advertising from sales taxes.

This tax break now heavily subsidizes big tech firms.

If states ended that exemption, they could collectively raise between $16 billion and $27 billion annually.

88 profitable corporations paid $0 in taxes last year. Meanwhile, the average worker's paycheck gets taxed before they ever see it. The system does not favor work. It favors wealth via @amyhanauer of @iteptweets.

Morning everyone.

Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?

You are subject to the law. Now he is not.

No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

[Rachel Coyle @RachelCoyleOhio]

Last year, Ohio Republicans passed a law forcing every district to let LifeWise take kids from class during the school day. We fought for months to add basic protections to the bill — like a background check requirement for LifeWise staff

They ignored us.

[Patrick Driessen @pdriessentax]

Economists and groups for years have advocated that the main distributional focus should be a proposal's change in after-transfer-after-tax income.

Sadly, it's not working. Left is CBO's 'after' analysis for OBBBA. Right exemplifies what OBBBA supporters emphasized. 1/2

Want to tax the rich in a way that will survive the Supreme Court? Fixing corporate taxes HAS to be part of that solution. https://t.co/AOU5EnnKeO

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

According to @iteptweets, some of the largest corporations—including Tesla, Coinbase, & Palantir—paid $0 in federal income tax because of Republican’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Why are mega corporations evading billions in taxes while working families pay more for everyday necessities?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is what kleptocracy looks like:

Last year, Meta gave Trump $25 million to settle a bogus lawsuit & $1 million for his inauguration.

This year, Trump gave Meta an $8 billion tax break lowering its tax rate to -23% this quarter.

That's a pretty good return on investment.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Meta's tax rate for the first quarter of this year was negative 23%.

That's in large part because Zuckerberg's company received a tax benefit from the government of $8.03 billion.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

You pay your taxes. Small businesses pay their taxes. But America's biggest corporations have rigged the rules so they pay nothing. It's insane and it must change.

Here's the link to the report. https://t.co/auWHyq1Md9

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Our current economy is rigged. It just is.

A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including:

Amazon
Citigroup
Haliburton
Kohl's
Palantir
PayPal
PG&E
Southwest Airlines
Tesla
United Airlines
Disney

paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

[Bruce Bartlett @BruceBartlett]

Guess how many big, profitable US corporations legally paid no federal income tax last year? Answer in first comment.

[Patrick Driessen @pdriessentax]

Left, JCT (X-16R-21), for corp rate calcs "taxes paid" is cash, denom is financial book.

Right, Treasury income classifier for individuals. Includes (highlighted) non-taxable income items.

So use of cash tax paid numerator with broad denominator is common (and useful). 2/2

[Patrick Driessen @pdriessentax]

Bruce (and ITEP) are catching usual flak for looking at cash taxes in the numerator and a concept broader than taxable income in denominator.

But that combo is common, though of course not the only, metric both for looking at corps & individuals. 1/2

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

Not only is Live Nation/Ticketmaster an illegal monopoly, an @ITEPtweets report found they pay ZERO federal income taxes.

They price gouge fans, rake in billions, and contribute nothing back.

Break it up.

[ITEP @iteptweets]

NEW: At least 88 corporations paid $0 in federal income tax in 2025.

That's despite collectively earning more than $105 billion in U.S. income.

The list includes Tesla, Palantir, Live Nation Entertainment, Coinbase, United Airlines, Walt Disney and more.
