What she left out.
Senator Warren correctly pointed out that Tesla paid zero federal corporate income tax last year despite billions in U.S. profit. But this wasn’t because of secret loopholes only Tesla uses. Tesla simply applied standard tax provisions that Congress wrote into the law and that many American businesses use:
• Accelerated depreciation on factories & equipment
• R&D tax credits
• Net operating loss carryforwards from earlier years
• Manufacturing and EV production incentives.
These breaks are available to any qualifying company. Tesla benefits more than most because it invests heavily in research, new factories, and new technology.
Important note: Tesla still pays billions in payroll, property, sales, and other taxes. The real debate is whether these incentives should be changed, not whether Tesla is receiving special treatment.
If she does not like the IRS tax laws, she can petition to have them changed, although I doubt she will, since I am sure she benefits from them as well.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla. Here's why.

Most of the people who supposedly left the GOP over norms and decency and threats to democracy, are going to stand by quietly and obediently as the Democratic Party officially embraces Nazi-tattooed candidates, literal communists, and Hezbollah-supporting antisemites.

She’s right about this. The ideal way for Dem scandals to go down is to have them covered extensively in conservative media so that the mainstream press can write it off as a partisan nothingburger until it’s no longer a threat to Democrat power.
Bethany 貝書穎@BethanyAllenEbr
What we've witnessed here is a years-long, catastrophic failure of conservative media to demonstrate to Democratic staffers that they are fair and professional news outlets who can be trusted with sensitive information. Fox News should have been all over Swalwell's sexual misconduct years ago. It wasn't.

Let's talk about what @BernieSanders intentionally left out. These companies paid billions in payroll taxes, state taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes. Federal income tax is one tax, not the total tax bill. You know this. But because you are a corrupt looter, you pretend as if they pay no taxes at all so you can generate outrage, so you can loot even more.
You have been in Congress for 35 years. Every single tax provision that allowed these companies to pay zero federal income tax was written, passed, and signed into law by the institution you have been a part of since 1991.
You also left out that 40% of American households paid zero federal income tax in 2025. By your logic, they are not paying their "fair share" either. But you will never say that because your entire political career depends on pretending that only corporations benefit from the tax code you helped write, even though in reality no one benefits from them.
These companies employ hundreds of thousands of Americans whose wages generate billions in individual income taxes. They produce the products and services your supporters use every single day. The car your followers want to drive was built by one of these companies. The flights they take are operated by another. The electricity powering their homes comes from another.
You do not want tax reform. You want a shakedown. And you have been running it for 35 years.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders
If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than: Walt Disney Citigroup CVS Kohl's Ticketmaster Tesla United Airlines GoDaddy Paypal Palantir Roku HP 3M PG&E Halliburton That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

@redsteeze Sounds like Obama has come to the conclusion that ABC News is his PR company, and all they've done is just confirm that notion

Obama recorded a video on gerrymandering and gave it to ABC News and you ran it?
That's a pretty big tell about your news organization.

Liberals act as if the only reason anyone would want to revoke Haitians "temporary" (15 yrs) protected status is because we HATE Haitians. No, the point is, why does everyone across the globe have to come HERE whenever anything bad happens --
high crime>Move to the US;
earthquake>Move to the US;
tornado>Move to the US;
drug cartels>Move to the US;
boy falls down a well>Move to the US.
Etc.
Why didn't Haitians walk across the island to the Dominican Republic in the first place?
Brandon Gill@realBrandonGill
Haitians first received TPS because of an earthquake. That was over 15 years ago. America is not their permanent motel.

This is so backward. They're paying property taxes and not using any of the local services those taxes pay for.
Commie idiots are always murdering geese that lay golden eggs because they're dumb and greedy.

So taxing vacant, expensive property is actually a very good tax, and as much as I loathe Mamdani, this is not a bad idea. The logic is this: buying large properties and NOT LIVING IN THEM imposes externalities on other citizens: The first, of course, is that it eats up demand for real estate in the city, and there’s only so much room in Manhattan. Now, of course, they should just remove rent control and make more sensible building codes, etc., to increase supply, but supply is still always going to be limited, and you want that to go to people who are going to be actually living in the places that they buy. Second and more importantly, buying up real estate that sits empty imposes a cost on every business in New York and the employees and owners of those businesses because these wealthy owners, who are not in the city, patronizing restaurants, booking taxis, going to shows, etc., are taking up real estate from people who otherwise would. That imposes a cost on all of those businesses in the form of reduced demand for their products. Those people are also not paying the city taxes (ie sales taxes) that they would otherwise pay if they were patronizing businesses in the city. If you’re going to tax properties, it makes far more sense to tax empty properties than full ones.

A useful way to think about migration is to consider what kind of societies the migrants have built in their home countries and to what extent you would like those conditions replicated here.

Setting policy aside, the worst thing about Mamdani’s mayoralty is his very obvious contempt for the wealthy—as if they’re evil simply because they’ve made money. He films himself outside a rich man’s home, *names the guy* and sneers. Terrible quality in a leader.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

One of the great political moves by the left in recent years has been convincing a large portion of America that "the rich" don’t pay taxes and it’s all poor people, when the exact opposite is true.
The Top 1% pay 46% of all income taxes.
The Top 10% pay 76% of all income taxes.
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
Happy Tax Day! It’s good to remember that the Top 1% of earners pay 46% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% of America pays for just 2%.
