For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

Hey look, that’s me! We can’t get everything we want done until 2029, but we can drag them into impeachment & oversight hearings, oust most unpopular admin officials, and force Republicans into impossible choices (both to help the American people & because GOP congressmen deserve to suffer)

Lula won. Vučić’s party lost. A House report says Trump was an “active participant” in Epstein’s abuse. And MAGA’s favorite data guru won’t show her own followers the early vote numbers. Today's midday update is packed.

Seems fairly obvious this is a must do when you read the sentence aloud, “Lawmakers in the U.S. from both parties have called for a formal probe into Musk and SpaceX over alleged unilateral changes the company made to its services in Ukraine.”
Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

NEW: In his continued defense of a DOJ lawsuit to block Alaska's Senate election results should a Democrat win, AG Todd Blanche blamed the state's ranked choice voting system for causing confusion. It's just the latest scapegoat in the Trump administration's campaign to stoke fear among voters.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.
BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
