The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

How will Speaker Johnson, a Good Christian™, handle this? If he is familiar with the situation, that is.

The Epstein files tell a story of justice denied Prosecutors have moved far too slowly

An unknown number of powerful men (and some women) trafficked and abused a much larger number of vulnerable women and girls. Those victims urgently need justice

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

What if Big Beer neither totally tanked craft beer like true believers feared, nor built it up like they promised? At @vinepair.com I wrote about how the country's biggest brewer is scooping money off the floor even as its lip-service about raising the segment's ceiling never really materialized.

It's your cross-beat reporting that makes your insights so worthwhile and your work so readable. Keep it up!

Dave practices the kind of independent journalism everyone should support.

Any subscriber quitting on Dave over this can't have been reading his stuff too closely...but you should!

Beer has *always* been political. If you don't see that, it's probably because the politics was designed around your comfort.

Dave just helps us make sense of that reality.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: 

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.”
