Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

"If corporate income tax collection had kept up with 1960's levels, companies would be paying $620 billion more in taxes. In my latest I ask: what did we get in return? Not wages, not benefits, but record profits and a growing public disgust with companies."

Trump is Stealing Students’ Dreams to Give Billionaires Tax Breaks A first-generation college student fears other young people from working families won't get the financial aid she's relied on for her education.

β€œThis administration eliminated critical student loan programs during a horrible college affordability crisis…threats to the Pell Grant program will make it even harder for families to pay for college," Satra Taylor, a doctoral student in Maryland, said at our pre- #SOTU forum.

Because of the Big Ugly Bill, Amazon's tax bill fell by 87% even though its profits rose by 45%.

Trump and the GOP are shoveling more money towards the richest people and richest corporations in America at the same time so many people will be losing health care.

24% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

And America's billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer last year.

So of course, we're cutting services for working people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

What a joke.

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

They robbed us blind and told us that our neighbors were the enemy. All that culture war garbage was a diversion to distract us from the largest wealth transfer in history.

Boston Herald headline: Walmart to pay $100 million to settle FTC allegations over deceptive practices for delivery drivers

Boston Herald headline: Walmart to pay $100 million to settle FTC allegations over deceptive practices for delivery drivers

Walmart created three of the richest living people on the face of the planet.

The company makes some of the biggest profits in Americaβ€”and has received some of the biggest tax breaks.

And they still chose to screw over their delivery drivers.

We're being scammed.

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 billion, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. They cut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for this. This monstrosity must be reversed.
