Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

So money already appropriated and granted for SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and Head Start can be cancelled, but not the $137k for new drapes and things for @petehegseth’s government-provided house.

So when will DOGE recommend cutting the tax loopholes that allow for this?

NEW: We’re suing DOGE under the Freedom of Information Act. Elon Musk and the DOGE team’s attempts to operate in secrecy must be checked. americanoversight.org/new-lawsuit-se…

Just had a phone call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський. I assured that nothing changes. The aggressor remains an aggressor, and the victim - the country under attack - must be supported. A truce is not a sustainable peace. We must stop the aggressor now and for ever. In Lithuania, we will

Just so people are aware this is a Trump appointee (appointed 3 weeks ago) and Antonin Scalia clerk, who is quitting because Trump demanded that they corruptly dropped the charges against Eric Adams.

This is explosive. Mayor Adams is putting the City of New York and its people at risk in exchange for escaping charges. As long as Trump wields this leverage over Adams, the city is endangered. We cannot be governed under coercion. If Adams won’t resign, he must be removed.

$880 billion in Medicaid cuts means senior citizens kicked out of nursing homes and onto the street. All to pay for a giant tax cut for corporations and billionaires. It's the scam of the century.

National Review’s Andy McCarthy: “In reality, President Trump decided it was in his interest to do a political favor for Mayor Adams. His subordinates tried to cloak this raw political gesture in legally palatable raiments. But the rationale offered was incoherent. Now that it

also, they're not rooting out fraud they're flipping through appropriations passed by Congress and "discovering" things in the same way someone who has never read a book before opens one up and shouts "Eureka!" then they mischaracterize out of ignorance or just lie about it

“The GOP’s budget plan: Tax cuts for the rich, austerity for the poor.” A really great column by Catherine Rampell. That headline is no exaggeration. She lays it all out clearly and honestly. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Trump is abandoning Veterans. Cutting VA employees to save $$$ and then give tax cuts to friends like Musk.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

Just a reminder that on Tuesday we are voting on a new FBI Director and if four Republicans decide they don’t like the slashing of law enforcement or the pardoning of cop killers they can express that through the voting part of their job.

Elon Musk is trying to pay for his own tax cuts with your health care.

If you didn't vote for Trump so you could lose your job, the cancer research that saved your Mom, the educational plan that helped your special needs kid, now would be a good time to speak up and say so.

Everyone who thought he was joking about being a dictator, are you waking up now?

When you see headlines like "Trump orders closure of Voice of America". That's not how it works. Congressional created, funded part of the US government. All of this stuff is illegal. Just because it's happening doesn't make it less illegal.
