You get tax benefits for putting your money in a foundation but then you have to actually give your money away.

Musk is taking advantage of the tax benefits while not giving away his money

This year he’s $421 million short of the minimum
Musk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023
Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

The math of the federal budget really is very different than what most non-budget believe it to be.
Eliminating ALL Federal civilian employment would not be enough to pay for making the expiring tax cuts permanent.

The show was sponsored by coca cola who after seeing Charlie Brown on the 1965 cover of Time, they asked about the possibility of sponsoring an hour-long animated holiday special. CBS and Coke only gave them $76,000.

Today’s a good day to ask the youngsters in your life, “What is Pearl Harbor Day?” and if they don’t know, teach them. 🇺🇸

Not used to making the news, but good thing I think if it brings focus to the problem--we're in a real fight, and Trump is trying to cow media; if papers choose "balance" over truth, they're helping to promote authoritarian rule.

Not answering questions, giving answers to other questions, and answering a question with a question – are all forms of deception.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

Pardon of Hunter Biden is in the best interests of justice. Based on the facts, most federal prosecutors would have declined to charge him. The botched misdemeanor guilty plea and sentence of diversion were a tell that the special counsel had the same assessment.

President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

This seems correct
No mother “accidentally” tells her son he’s a piece of shit when it comes to women.
