So fun fact the woman on the right is LITERALLY running for office here in Islip THIS YEAR. She wasn't identified as in the text group, but hey the company you keep you know? If you'd like to do something about that I'd suggest checking out Dave Chan's website: daveforislip.com

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.

Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

My name is Leigh-Ann Barde, and I'm running for Suffolk County's 10th Legislative District to bring down the costs of everyday purchases, to turn underused county properties into housing we can truly afford, and to make child care affordable and accessible for every family.

This district trended 4 points bluer last cycle when all the others trended redder! Flipping this district this year will make a HUGE impact for unseating Garbarino next year! MAGA isn’t just in Congress, change starts here

Once again, a close US ally respectfully requests that their citizens be given basic respect, and Trump responds with brutal chauvinistic attacks on their economy and political system.

This may thrill MAGA -- but it's bad for peace, it's bad for cultural exchange, and it's bad for us all.
