Verizon expects to pay $2 BILLION less in taxes next year. Lumen Tech has requested a $400 MILLION tax refund. Diamondback Energy is projecting its cash tax rate to drop by 4%. That's billions less for America. And their CEOs and shareholders will keep it all. Great.
My boss: Can't you get Copilot to validate the info in the spreadsheet? Me: Well, do we want it to be accurate or not? Because either I check it myself or I ask Copilot and then check its output *and* the spreadsheet, so... Boss: What's the point of Copilot then? Me: Exactly.
Had a great evening standing with Black women from across the state. Too often, Black women are asked to fix problems they didn’t create — together we’ll make sure their voices shape the solutions. Grateful to Terry Tucker for bringing together powerful women and building unity across our state.

I’ve heard wall streeters are buying up the tariff refund rights from importers as speculative investments.
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
I love this for her. Well deserved
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
Parker was shot in the head back in June. She spent weeks in the hospital with a broken skull and a blood clot in her brain. Now she’s back in Los Angeles protesting Trump’s illegal immigration policies not far from where she was shot. Why? Because people shouldn’t be taken.
I wasn't overreacting.
UPDATE on the Border Patrol arrest outside of Newsom's press conference last week. A dozen Border Patrol agents descended on the streets outside his conference. They ended up arresting a delivery driver with no criminal record — then appear to have lied and claimed he was a drug dealer.
I’m not afraid to take on anyone — whether it’s the utility companies, our grid operator, or my own party — to drive down costs for New Jersey's hardworking families.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"? It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State." For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇 www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...
What a relief we've done away with DEI and are now assigning government posts purely based on merit.
I think top Democrats know it would be a winning issue to attack super-rich exploitation of the poor and middle class, but the Dems choose not to do so because they hope for some loose change from the super-rich.
After months of horror stories, I'm crying watching these good citizens fight back. These people are restoring a little of my faith in America.
Palantir, like Google, Apple, Microsoft, OpenAI, are all aping IBM's role as the data infrastructure of nazism. Hell if you don't read my work please read Edwin Black's IBM and the Holocaust. newintermag.com/ai-as-class-...
"In 2020, the Oligarch playbook "The Sovereign Individual" was reprinted with a preface written by Palantir and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel." .... It says everything.
Obit of Michael Ledeen, which aptly captures his role in American public life. I think the most generous thing one can say abt him is that he was an interesting figure. But interesting in the way that is more easy to take in a spy novel than in real life… open.substack.com/pub/spytalk/...
Whether it’s liberal protesters yelling at Tesla owners or conservative crypto investors kidnapping and torturing tourists, both sides could use a lesson in civility.
Opinion | Why Trump must pardon Diddy
"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."
Now they're telling immigrants they can't even enter the country "the right way" They told you it was because they were "illegal" It's because they don't like their skin color
FULL DISCLOSURE, MAGA Murder Budget is the messaging that I suggested and while I wanted to just ignore this new testing, now that it's out there, feels like I gotta wade in. Here goes - adventures in everything wrong with Dem message testing, a case study. /1

Notably, the WSJ Editorial Board—a notorious right-wing clown car—was capable of accurately describing Trump's failure and capitulation. But @cnn.com—which claims it provides unbiased, objective journalism—had its Chief Domestic Correspondent publish blatant partisan lies as "news."
Where's Hunter?
I was reading the comments on a local news article about Medicaid cuts and a Missouri woman called having access to healthcare a “lifestyle” that isn’t meant for folks who can’t afford it. I have never read anything more sad, or American, in my life…
DHS is asserting that members of some gang and serious criminals are being held at Delaney Hall. But there is no evidence of even a single individual charged with a felony???? How can this be possible? www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...
Who could have foreseen?
What a shocking development
Congratulations to them. There is nothing accidental about this. And one of the features you missed is banning private school.
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 Way to go Finland! While much of the world pushes 8-hour school days, constant testing, and mountains of homework, Finland treats education as a respected, human-centered profession. The rest of us: “Wait… that’s allowed?” Maybe it’s time we take notes just not too many…
🚨 Hey Tennessee media— will anyone call out @MarshaBlackburn for crediting Trump with this @schneiderelectric investment in MT. JULIET that was announced in 2024 under Biden?🤷🏼♀️ She wants to be governor. Can we please stop giving her constant lying a pass? www.se.com/us/en/about-...
Hell yeah! Put this on loop—this wise man speaks for me. 🔥

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

"Toothless in Texas" is the name of my next big country song
We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.
Government social media surveillance threatens free speech and privacy. Adding AI only compounds the harms. This makes the Trump administration’s "Catch and Revoke" program especially dangerous to our constitutional rights.
talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/grind... I hope Rubio is getting paid for all seven jobs. And to use a gross stereotype: is Marco Rubio a Haitian? I mean he has like 7 different jobs.
This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

BASH: You said there are talks with China every day. Who are the talks with and at what level? Because the Chinese are saying that's not true ROLLINS: Well, according to our team in Washington, the conversations are ongoing regarding multiples of trade

Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China, without paying an additional 145 percent markup.
It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …
Ola Bini's unjust and politically motivated prosecution must end. Ecuadorean Judicial authorities should affirm his innocence and reject prosecutors' insinuation that using Tor is indication of suspicious criminal activity.

The GOP whined about the BEAD infrastructure broadband grant program taking too long, so now they're... extending the deadline primarily so they can redirect money from better, more affordable options (like community owned fiber networks and cooperatives) to Elon Musk's expensive, congested Starlink
Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.
I have read the complaint here. I believe that a careful reading of the statutes charged here means that even if we believe everything stated in this affidavit (and I do not), the judge is innocent of the charges.
Today is Day 13. Still 0 deals.
Article 1: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." These people are morons.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble
so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.
This fucker is just straight up lying
It remains to be seen if they truly comply
Revoking student visas at UW & other colleges was never about protecting national security. It was meant to intimidate people who spoke out peacefully & whom Trump disagreed with. The admin has reversed this illegal effort. This is what winning in the courts looks like.
REPORTER: You said you have spoken to President Xi. When did that happen? China says it hasn't happened TRUMP: I spoke to him numerous times. So, we're leaving and going to Rome ... it's going to be very interesting

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule "Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."
🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."
I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont. He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview. He should be released so he can become a citizen.
You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.
Rejoice, America! The dog-killing DHS head Kristi Noem has finally nabbed that most dangerous of criminals: a Japanese Mormon computer science nerd who was near someone who was extra good at catching fish one afternoon.
