Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

Donald Trump has turned an entire political party into a party of liars and sore losers. I blame Trump for originating the “stolen” election lie and for being the biggest sore loser in American history, but I also blame every single Republican for choosing to echo the lie and become a sore loser.

BARTIROMO: So you believe there will be a definitive answer as to whether the 2020 election was stolen? TODD BLANCHE: We're looking at it and we hope to get one

“Democrat” is not an adjective.
Wesley Hunt@WesleyHuntTX

Don Lemon and the race-grifter class still can’t figure out why Black Americans are walking away from the Democrat plantation politics they’ve been selling for decades. Here’s a news flash, Black Americans are not a monolith. We are not owned by a political party. We are not obligated to think alike, vote alike, speak alike, or fall in line every time a washed-up TV activist screams “racism” on cue. Some of us are tired of being talked down to by millionaire elites who got rich convincing us that America is hopelessly evil while they cash checks from gated communities. They told us voter ID was “Jim Crow.” Meanwhile every American needs an ID to drive, fly, bank, buy a home, pick up prescriptions, or get into a federal building. The insult isn’t voter ID, the insult is pretending Black people are somehow incapable of functioning in modern society without Democrat supervision. That’s the soft bigotry of low expectations, and people are done buying it. The left’s entire playbook is built on keeping people angry, divided, and dependent. If you step outside the narrative, suddenly you’re “not really Black,” “dangerous,” or “controversial.” No. What’s controversial is using race as a business model for 20 years while cities run by your ideology collapse into crime, dysfunction, and chaos. Americans are waking up. Merit matters. Freedom matters. Common sense matters. And the race-hustling era is dying right in front of them.

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.

As a reporter, I'm so disappointed by the men of the White House press corps. They let Trump constantly bully women reporters. In sports, we stood up 4 each other. I once got into a brawl w/ a U Miami ass't coach over the sexist way he treated a female writer. Grow a pair!

ICC powerbrokers are currently examining its three formats amid uncertainty over the future of international cricket. But dedicated windows to protect international cricket is not on the table. That still appears a long way off cricketfj.com/p/exclusive-de…

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Jeff Bezos is seeking $100 billion to put robots into factories. Millions of manufacturing jobs — GONE. Driverless vehicle companies are expanding rapidly. Millions of transportation jobs — truckers, cab drivers, Uber drivers — GONE. We are not ready for what’s coming.

Our democracy is under attack @Acosta and has been from the moment Trump first got elected. Trump is the very thing our Founders feared. And it will be up to the American people to defend & preserve our democracy.👇

Massive wealth inequality is a global crisis. The world’s 3,000 billionaires got $2.5 trillion richer last year & now hold $18.3T. The 12 richest people own more wealth than the bottom half of humanity. Our goal: create a global economy that works for ALL, not just the few.

The Trump-Netanyahu war is not just about Iran. Israel's Defense Minister says, “The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza.” 2,702 people have been killed there, 1.6 million displaced and dozens of villages destroyed. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU.
