Howard Lutnick was Epstein's next-door neighbor. Told "Jeff" he was "so excited" to visit his island in 2012. Now he's Trump's Secretary of Commerce. Confirmed by the Senate. Epstein's friends aren't just buying elections. They're running the government.

Senator Warren just demanded answers from Jamie Dimon. Under oath in 2023, he said he never met Epstein. DOJ documents show Epstein's assistant arranged 'evening appointments' with Dimon. Epstein used his contacts to lobby the UK government on Dimon's behalf. One of them is lying.

Trump got called out over his IRS lawsuit. A federal judge says it was "an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers.”

$1,000 per household. That's the Iran war cost so far. Estimates say it could reach $7,500 per household if total cost hits $1 trillion. The money's always been there.

Apple could have given workers $4 million each over the last 8 years. Alphabet: $1.8 million. Microsoft workers: $775,000 each. Bank of America: $672,000 each. They chose buybacks. You got cuts. Nothing trickles down.

✅Gas ✅Groceries The top two things Americans can't afford. Essentials. Meanwhile, Big Oil made $677 BILLION in 5 years. And grocery corporations posted record profits. You can't afford to eat. Big corporations can't seem to afford to care.

Xbox is cutting 4,800 jobs. 20% of the entire division. Microsoft's excuse? "AI is changing work." Their spending? $176 billion on buybacks. Tax breaks? $12.5 billion last year. Please don't tell me this is about technology. It's about profits. Nothing trickles down.

Remember Trump's Big Ugly Law? You should. It took from you. Gave to the rich. One year later, hospitals are closing. Families are struggling. Billionaires are richer. Tonight, we're exposing the damage. And building the fight to reverse it. Join us. 7pm ET. RSVP now.

$1.3 BILLION. That's how much the 50 richest donors in America have already spent to buy the midterms. The vast majority are buying the same thing: Tax cuts. Deregulation. More wealth for them. Less for us. This is how you rig an economy.

Healthcare premiums are tripling at the exact same time the world has its first trillionaire. This is not a coincidence. It's our tax code.

It's been a year since Trump and Republicans passed their economic bill. Since then? Billionaires—and the world's first trillionaire—hold a record $9 trillion in wealth. And healthcare, grocery, and energy costs are way up. Fight back with us July 8th: bit.ly/3QhGUc5

Our tax code has a $48 BILLION loophole for the richest 1% to avoid capital gain taxes. That's bigger than the USAID budget, or NASA's budget. Tax breaks for the rich cost us SO MUCH. And all they do is make the rich richer while we struggle to afford gas, groceries, and rent.

This is what happens when you cut healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires. Hospitals close, medical bills skyrocket, and America gets its first trillionaire.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness· Jun 23

Remember when they cut healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires? 1,056 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes across the country are now facing closures or cuts. Elon Musk is a trillionaire and hundreds of thousands of people are watching their hospitals close or overcrowd.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness· Jun 17

And you? Was it easier to afford groceries or gas yesterday? "When the rich do well we all do well" is complete BS. We can never let them cut taxes for the rich and promise it will all "trickle down" ever again.

Politicians are giving corporations tax breaks and those corporations are turning around and contributing to the politicians' campaigns. How is this not corruption at the highest level?

BREAKING: Billionaires in America now own a record $9.2 TRILLION in wealth. That's up 32% over the last year. The country's GDP has only risen 6% in that time. Tax breaks for the wealthy don't trickle down to working people. They just create trillionaires.

Man, what a great economy we're having. I'm so glad we've given the wealthy and corporations huge tax breaks for the last forty years. It's really created an economy that works great for everyday, working people. 👍

The people in charge didn't have to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. It's not a budget thing. It definitely wasn't a deficit thing. They did it to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the richest 1%. We're speaking out this week. Join us. sevendaysinjune.org | #SevenDaysInJune

I feel like people don't understand me when I say a system built for the rich is built to hurt working people. White-collar crime, by definition, rips off the working man. Tax breaks for the rich aren't free—we pay for them. Do you see it now?

ExxonMobil paid a 1.3% effective tax rate in 2025. Chevron paid 7.8%. We gave Duke and Dominion tax refunds. They could just decide to lower gas prices. But they poured their billion-dollar tax breaks into CEO pay and shareholder payouts instead. Tax the rich.

Senator Warren is right. Tax AI. time.com/article/2026...

Americans are hanging on by their fingernails in an economy that funnels wealth to the ultra-rich and leaves crumbs for working people. AI threatens to supercharge this divide: tech executives have warned that AI could lead to “a level of wealth concentration that will break society” and create a “permanent underclass.”

I refuse to accept that future. Building an economy that works for all of us will require multiple policy responses. But it starts by acknowledging: it’s time to tax AI and invest in people.

AI holds tremendous promise. At the same time, Americans are rightly concerned that AI could further rig our economy. The technology is creating dozens of tech billionaires, while companies are laying off workers in the name of AI. Meanwhile, AI data centers are jacking up utility bills; for families living near large data centers, electricity costs have skyrocketed by as much as 267% over the past five years. It’s no surprise that Americans are showing up at town meetings to protest data centers and communities across the country are fighting for data center moratoriums.

Taxing AI is one way we make sure the winnings from AI benefit all Americans, rather than channeling them only to the wealthy few. If millions of people lose their jobs to AI, we’ll need the funds to deliver universal health care so those workers are not bankrupted by a visit to the doctor. If AI transforms the future of work, we'll need to invest in free education and apprenticeships and a new jobs guarantee so that all Americans have good-paying work. And while workers get back on their feet, we’ll need the revenue to bolster unemployment insurance to keep families afloat. The only way we can get there is by overhauling our tax code.

BREAKING: @wyden.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov & @bennet.senate.gov just dropped a bill to tax Big Oil stock buybacks at 25%. These companies are raising our gas prices and raking in huge profits. If they want to route their earnings to stakeholders instead of consumers, they should be taxed.

STATEMENT regarding Trump's "settlement" with the IRS

“Today’s supposed settlement announcement regarding President Trump’s IRS lawsuit is a blatantly corrupt act of self dealing,” said David Kass, Executive Director of Americans for Tax Fairness. “The President seems to believe that he has the power to create a totally unregulated fund for himself, his billionaire donors, and insurrectionist allies without any oversight from the Courts and Congress. This is the kind of stealing from taxpayers Americans expect to read about in textbooks about authoritarian governments, not the U.S. Taxpayer funds should never be used for what is essentially a slush fund for the President to reward convicted criminals who attempted to overturn an election. Congress must immediately act to halt this slush fund, and conduct immediate oversight.”

If you're selling cigarettes on the street, the authorities will place you in a chokehold until you die. But if you're a billionaire who defrauded the American public on a massive scale, you can hire the President's lawyer to sweet talk your way out of charges. This is America.

Never, ever forget that the people in charge cut over $1 TRILLION from Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires. Over 7.5 MILLION Americans are in danger of losing their coverage. And billionaires and their corporations are richer than ever. It's a #HealthcareHeist.
