The Atlantic | So Nobody Is Going to Pay Taxes Now? by Annie Lowrey AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article warns that America’s fiscal foundation is eroding as Congress runs trillion‑dollar deficits while simultaneously encouraging a nationwide tax revolt, slashing rates and expanding loopholes that make many Americans view income‑tax bills as unfair. It traces how both Republicans and Democrats have perpetuated a system that favors the wealthy—through historic tax cuts, targeted deductions, and recent proposals to eliminate taxes for specific groups—while the tax base shrinks due to an aging population and rising mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare, and other services. This combination of reduced revenue, soaring interest costs on existing debt, and politically driven tax policies jeopardizes the nation’s long‑term solvency, making it increasingly difficult to fund essential programs or pursue ambitious policy initiatives without broadening the tax base or raising rates on high‑income earners.

The Guardian: ‘Unhinged madman’: US politicians react to Trump’s expletive-laden threat to Iran Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said Trump’s rant resembled that of “an unhinged madman”. He wrote on X: “Happy Easter, America. As you... celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/05/trump-iran-threats-politician-reactions #News #Politics #Democracy #Democrats #Trump #IranWar #Iran

Whoa! This political loop hole could make the electoral college legally irrelevant! 👉🏾 Virginia ups the National Popular Vote Compact to 222 votes https://www.npr.org/2026/04/14/nx-s1-5742595/virginia-popular-vote-compact More US states need to join to reach 270, but if successful, then whoever wins the national popular vote wins the election! Since #Democrats win the popular vote far more often than the #GOP, it would probably result in #America 🇺🇸 never electing a #Trump like candidate (or at least make it significantly harder to do so).
