In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

"The White House isn't sure whether Trump actually had a phone call or just imagined it" is where we are on the dementia scale now.
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

You've found the start of THE daily thread on Day 1370 of Russia's immoral and illegal all out war on its neighbour.
Some say things are not so bleak for Ukraine today.
Well, I'm still very angry with allies as well as the war criminals.

A president who speaks of death for dissent isn’t defending a nation, he’s claiming a throne. He names enemies so others will swing the sword. Power that fears questions always reaches for blood. Don’t give him the submission he’s seeking. Stand when he demands you kneel. #AuthoritarianAlert

Donald Trump says he wants interest rates to come down – but he is refusing to release the data the Fed needs to do that.
Seems like he wants to hide bad jobs data.
And working families will keep paying the price.
