From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.

The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Nothing trickled down.

Når i bruger dette billede som blikfang til jeres artikel om de frigivne Epstein dokumenter, så bør i nævne at det er tilføjet af trump's administration og er fra en hel anden sammenhæng. @drnyheder.bsky.social , @rnqvisttim.bsky.social og @laurakirkebaek.bsky.social
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Hvorfor er stigende ulighed et problem? Høj ulighed hænger sammen med lav socialmobilitet.

Socialmobilitet er vigtigt:

Forskning viser: Hvis læger med en lav socioøkonomisk baggrund behandler patienter med lav socioøkonomisk baggrund, lever patienterne længere og bedre.

Kunne egentlig bedre lide overskriften til denne artikel i den trykte udgave af avisen: Slet og ret "Messerchmidts misinformation".
Det er vigtigt at kalde tingene hvad de er og at holde politikere op på at de ikke bare kan lyve efter forgodtbefindende.
Messerschmidt overdriver antallet af udvisningsdømte, som ikke har forladt landet, med mindst 400 procent
DF-formanden hævder, at der er 15.000 udvisningsdømte udlændinge, »som stadig er i Danmark«. Det rigtige tal er et sted mellem 792 og 3.293. Det »ændrer ikke en tøddel på det principielle«, siger Mort...

“De støtter dybest set et diktatorisk regime, der fører krig mod en allieret med Danmark og EU. Enhver form for forretning, der er profitabel i Rusland, støtter den russiske økonomi, som dermed også støtter den russiske krigsmaskine”, lyder det fra professor Michael Mol.

Knivskarpe Michael og jeg har et indlæg i Altinget i dag. Vi er trætte af Venstres dobbeltmoral: Landmænd med græssende dyr smider de under bussen, samtidig med de er parate til at forsvare den mest vanvittige behandling af svin i storbønders stalde. Bekend kulør!

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

@jd0llar.bsky.social lidt mere om trumps "interview"
I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fiercely independent and proudly pro-democracy. Unlike CBS, it owes nothing to the White House and seeks no favors from them. It has no corporate overlords, no venture capital investors, and no billionaires pulling strings.

"The ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Trump showcased everything that is wrong with US political interviews in general. The deferential tone. The lack of preparation. The failure to ask follow-up questions or dig deep into answers. The inability (unwillingness?) to fact-check in real time."

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Her er et fyldigt resumé af trump i FN:
Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.

No evidence of association between Charlie Kirk shooting and left-wing groups so far, according to officials. Interesting chart here in the NBC piece of ideology and domestic terrorism, 70% comes from far-right groups.

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left.
