Not only did Disney pay $0 in federal income taxes last year due to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” it got a $1.4 billion tax refund after making $12.4 billion in profits. “Corporation will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a Big Lie. It never trickles down. Ever.

Hillary won two Senate elections and the 2016 popular vote. How the hell do you become DHS Secretary without knowing how to use Google? Markwayne Mullin is a fucking dumbass.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "I don't understand why Hillary is still relevant. I mean, has she actually ever won an actual election?"

Bert, you’ve managed to link a study while missing its principal conclusion. Yes, the researchers found a modest increase in relative clotting risk following mRNA vaccination. They didn’t conceal it. They published it. But they also found a substantially greater clotting risk associated with COVID infection, with lower infection-associated risk among vaccinated individuals. Their overall risk-benefit analysis concluded that vaccination could REDUCE total thrombotic risk, particularly during periods of high COVID transmission. And you claim this was never communicated while linking to a publicly available study that discusses precisely these findings. As a surgeon who has treated thrombosis, I assure you that distinguishing relative risk, absolute risk, and net clinical benefit matters. Reading the headline is easy. Understanding the study requires reading the rest of it.

All provinces rely on independent boundary commissions to draw electoral maps. Smith rejected the boundary commission map and asked her MLAs to draw a pro-UCP map. This is unprecedented. It's brazen US-style gerrymandering. It's cheating.

This is how we have our own Ukrainian style Revolution of Dignity and get ourselves back on track. We can learn a lot from them.
For the first time in US history, a gay man, a Black woman, a Muslim, Native American woman, Palestinian, and Latina have won their respective midterm elections.

As every credible expert has told you, including your own staff, and as I’m sure you actually know yourself, this will result in more people being killed and injured, less safety for EVERYONE, worse traffic congestion, worse pollution, climate emissions and noise, undermined affordability and economic competitiveness, and less choice and freedom. And it cost the public A LOT. But at least you felt strong and powerful, right?
We’ve completed the removal of bike lanes along 1.2 kilometres of Bloor Street West, restoring vehicle lanes in both directions.   Under Premier Ford’s leadership, we're fighting gridlock, supporting local businesses and getting drivers moving again.

First, correct your spelling: it's Semmelweis. And I rather admire Ignaz Semmelweis. Do you know why? Because he had data, not merely a grievance against medical authority. He demonstrated dramatic reductions in maternal mortality when physicians washed their hands. His critics clung to established beliefs despite evidence. They loved anecdotes, like you seem to. Bring me data that challenges established medicine, and I'll listen. I've challenged conventional thinking myself, published research, and defended conclusions with evidence. There's nothing wrong with standing alone in science. I've done it. But here's what people invoking Semmelweis so often misunderstand: He wasn't right, because he stood alone. He stood alone because he was right with the data to demonstrate it. You haven't presented data. You've presented an analogy and an insult. And that makes you the anti-Semmelweis.
Replying to @drterrysimpson
I have trust issues with doctors that act the exact same way the doctors did when ignasius semilwiesse was around and I find your exactly of the same attitude. Hope this hurts your ego "doctor"?

Don't be ridiculous. You sound like Trump. Next you'll be saying "They're eating the pets!"
Democrats will execute their plan to end democracy in America if they gain control

Flávio Bolsonaro is not a persecuted political leader; he is under criminal investigation for serious corruption. He should have his visa revoked and return to Brazil to face justice. If Trump doesn’t want criminals to come to the U.S., why allow Bolsonaro entry? We need answers.

An ABC News analysis just found that Trump's sons have received $6 billion in federal contracts since 2024. Remember how angry MAGA was about Hunter Biden? Now Trump is paying his own sons billions of our tax money. This is the real swamp we need to drain!

The level of betrayal here is breathtaking and beyond disgraceful. This is murder. And Markwayne Mullin should be charged as an accessory.
We have a loved one scheduled to be on this flight. He will be killed if he’s returned to the Taliban. He supported the US mission in Afghanistan. He has broken no laws. He came here legally. Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence.

According to the judge, there was a rapist on the ballot in 2024 and you didn’t give a fuck
100 years from now, there'll be a murderer against a rapist on the ballot and we'll hear we have to vote for the lesser of the two evils or else. The only way you don't get there is to show up and vote now but leave the lines of awful candidates blank.

This is an insult to every American taxpayer. Trump wasted almost half a billion of our tax dollars cutting a sweetheart deal for one of his donors. Demanding an explanation for that corrupt overpayment isn't a "waste of time," it's absolutely essential.
Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m? BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

1. ​This is self-defense. 2. ​The ceasefire in Oleshky went as planned. There were no other agreed ceasefires. 3. ​Hours before this happened, Russia bombed a train station, murdering 15 civilians, and downtown Chernihiv, murdering two 15-year-old girls.

A South Carolina voter says she’s voting for Darline Graham because after praying she knows it’s God’s will. She also says God is choosing Trump, a 34 count convicted felon adulterer. These people vote. Cancel them out.
These are the spectacularly stupid people who show up to vote every single time. Cancel them out.

🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed questions about the Trump administration paying $496 MILLION for a shuttered Minnesota prison that private contractor CoreCivic had previously offered the state for just $75 MILLION, a staggering $420 million difference. Asked to explain the purchase amid the administration’s crackdown on government waste and fraud, Bessent responded: “I don’t know anything about that. That’s a waste of our time.”

Congressional Republicans are calling this economy a “Golden Age.” It may be a golden age for them, as they line their pockets while in office, but everyone else is hurting. It’s time to vote them out.

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?   Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.   And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.   The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?   This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.   Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional. wired.com/story/a-28-year-ol…

🚨 🇺🇦 Témoignage extrêmement fort, et trop rare. Sur #FoxNews, un fermier républicain de l’Iowa qui votera démocrate explique qu’il pense à son père, vétéran de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, quand il voit les Ukrainiens se faire massacrer et devoir se battre pour leur liberté. "Il se retournerait dans sa tombe" en voyant l’Amérique acheter du diesel russe. 📼 Sous-titres 🇫🇷 #Trump #MAGA #Midterms #GOP #Ukraine @ML3democrats
