@MacFarlaneNews #1 is not new - he floated his desire for during his first term (he also used memes of course, so that his fans could get a preview). He is a pathetic being.

We lost Larry Fitzgerald, guys. We got the Catholic Church, and they got the purest heart of gold in the NFL.

@franklinleonard If folks didn't get Republican vibes and proclivities, with a 'ting' of self hate, from Larry Fitzgerald when he was in the NFL, then apparently folks were only focused on him catching a ball. SAD.

The DOJ dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. propublica.org/article/trump-…

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores after a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

The real cheat code isn't the $81,400 salary. It's what happens at the end. Bezos' base pay has been frozen at $81,400 since 1998. The 2026 Amazon proxy confirmed it last week. That number was 2x the US median male income in 1998. Today it's barely 16% above it. The payroll tax dodge is the smallest piece. Even at top marginal rates, it saves him maybe $40K a year. Rounding error. The borrow piece is bigger. An SBLOC from his private bank lets him pull cash against his Amazon stock at roughly the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread. Right now that's around 5%. No capital gains triggered. Loan proceeds aren't income. So he never sells, never realizes the gain, never pays the 20% federal plus 7% Washington or 13.3% California capital gains tax on hundreds of billions in appreciation. But here's the part almost nobody explains. IRC Section 1014. When he dies, his heirs inherit his Amazon shares at fair market value. The cost basis resets to whatever the stock is worth that day. Every dollar of lifetime appreciation, wiped from the tax rolls. So Bezos' cost basis on his earliest Amazon shares is roughly $0.075 per share adjusted for splits. Today the stock is around $220. That's a gain of roughly 293,000% per share. All of it disappears at death. The estate then sells a slice of the now stepped-up stock at basically zero gain, uses the proceeds to pay off every outstanding SBLOC, and passes the rest to heirs. Buy. Borrow. Die. He doesn't avoid income tax because his salary is low. He avoids income tax because the US tax code treats a loan against $200B in stock as "not income" and treats death as a basis eraser. Congress has introduced bills to repeal step-up at death in 2021, 2022, and 2024. All failed. The 2025 tax law explicitly preserved it and raised the estate exemption to $15M per person. The salary story is the distraction. The real subsidy is Section 1014.

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax - For the last 20 years he’s had the same salary, $82,000 - He does this because a higher salary that would support his lifestyle would be subject to payroll and income tax, he doesn’t want to pay that - Instead all his money is in his stocks, those are never subject to any taxes as long as they aren’t sold - He takes out a loan and borrows against his stocks - The only money he’ll ever had to pay is the loan and interest on the loan This is common practice for billionaires so they avoid the majority or all of a personal income tax

Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
This should be a much bigger story. The Trump administration is about to hand TotalEnergies, a French oil company, nearly $1 billion of your money to cancel its American offshore wind projects. And they are pulling the cash from an account they are not allowed to use this way. Here is how it works. The government has something called the Judgment Fund. Think of it as an emergency savings account for when the government loses a lawsuit or settles a real legal fight. It is not a checkbook the President can use whenever he feels like rewarding a company. To get around that rule, the administration is pretending TotalEnergies was about to sue. But TotalEnergies had no case. The company signed a contract in January 2025 with clear rules: the government cannot cancel these leases unless it first pauses the project for five years. The lease is less than four years old and was never paused. TotalEnergies agreed to those terms. There was no real lawsuit coming. So the administration invented a fake legal threat to justify raiding an account Congress controls. That matters because the Constitution says Congress, not the President, decides how taxpayer money gets spent. It gets worse. The White House claimed TotalEnergies would take the money and reinvest it in American oil and gas. The actual paperwork, now public, requires nothing of the kind. The company gets a billion dollars of taxpayer money and owes us nothing. So Americans are paying a foreign oil company to shut down clean energy projects here at home, using money that was never supposed to be spent this way, with zero strings attached. That is illegal, unethical, and a scandal hiding in plain sight.

@daniel_zande @jimstewartson Miller and Vought are 'Shadow Presidents', so no need for them to be on the list. They will continue to skulk.

Take a good look folks. These are the Minnesota boundary waters. Every Republican senator voted to allow a Chilean billionaire to mine it. The minerals will go to China. This truly enrages me. It should you as well. Fuck, and I mean fuck… The @GOP 🖕
