Mobster president

Imagine a family sues to stop a dangerous chemical plant expansion near their home. They’d be told: “Pay up first.” Even if they’re right, they can’t get the court’s help without cash.

It’s a paywall on justice, shielding government overreach by pricing the public out of court.

- The court must set a bond amount based on the potential cost or harm to the government if it loses.
- Judges are explicitly banned from considering:
- Whether you’re poor
- Whether you’re a nonprofit
- Whether your rights are being violated

The Senate added a provision that would force anyone trying to block the federal government in court to pay a massive upfront bond, no exceptions, no matter your income. Judges wouldn’t be allowed to lower or waive it, even if someone’s rights are being violated.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.

But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is?

The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

Little wonder why the current administration wants to defund NPR … they tell the truth.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...
