Not only did Disney pay nothing in income taxes this year, it received a $1.428 billion tax refund after making $12 billion in profits.
"Corporations will create jobs if you give them more tax breaks" is a total scam.
@MarkNaughton9@matthewdmarsden Sounds like the same citizens that supposedly were going to get all those jobs that became available after the gestapo started abducting people 🙄
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
If you believe the attack on Venezuela and kidnap of Maduro is about drugs, I genuinely don't know how to help you. Trump just pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez who was an ACTUAL drug trafficker because his tech oligarch buddies were mad about their libertarian crypto fiefdom Prospera being in jeopardy. This is about plunder and power.
One of the most wonderful people I knew, my close friend, Awdah Hathaleen, was murdered today.
Shot by Yinon Levy, a settler in Masafer Yatta. Israeli soldiers who arrived on the scene said they wished it were them who shot Awdah. After, the army arrested Palestinians, pointed out by the murderer. Awdah wasn't just murdered by a settler. He was murdered by Israel.
He was a father, an activist, a friend, he was a human being. One of my favourite people in the world.
My friend is dead. Remember his name. And fight. Fucking fight.
There will be no justice. In a just world Awdah would still be alive. But the system that killed him needs to be destroyed. Zionism needs to be destroyed. Fully and irreversibly. And that is our job. Yours and mine.
WHAT KIND OF FUCKING COWARDS ARE HOLDING A VOTE IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT TO TAKE AWAY MEDICAID FROM MILLIONS OF PEOPLE???
HOUSE REPUBLICANS.
MAY YOU ALL ROT IN HELL.
I have never seen a US President that was so weak and so scared about taking military action that he needed his yes-man entourage to keep him company at the podium in the Cross Hall.
Restaurants have been understaffed because of fear of ICE, people aren’t eating out as much, produce has been rotting in DTLA fruit district because sales has gone down, & now people might be fearful to go to a Dodgers game. ICE has been destroying the economy.
🚨DEATH TOLL FROM AID MASSACRE IN KHAN YOUNIS RISES TO 70

@jkeeter82 @EdKrassen Okay and? What they do with the money they earn is none of your business. The tax breaks for the rich certainly don't recirculate into the economy they use them to buy more stocks and manipulate the markets.
