12%: over $25,600 ($24,800)
22%: over $104,050 ($100,800)

32%: over $416,650 ($403,550)

37%: over $793,650 ($768,700)
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

There were 20 Million new voter registrations between 2022 and 2024 in 37 states without proof of citizenship requirements
Republicans’ inability to get the SAVE America Act passed was an unforgivable betrayal that could cost us the country
Insane.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) demands the Senate IMMEDIATELY reconvene on Monday morning, work EVERY DAY until Democrats take power, and pass budget reforms, election integrity and EVERYTHING WE NEED
"STAY UP there until January...get everything done. Stay EVERY DAY. Through Christmas, through Thanksgiving, through New Year's, every day!"
"We should balance the budget. We should pass permitting reform. We should get election security done."
"People want jobs. They want more affordable government. We have the power to do it RIGHT NOW." 🇺🇸
"We KNOW the Dems are gonna destroy the filibuster!"
Rick Scott wants a RAPID FIRE approach to get everything done while Dems don't control the chamber.
And if the filibuster isn't nuked, do it via reconciliation!
Send as much common sense to Trump's desk while we have the chance. This would be a good start to 2028!
Keep an eye on this.
Democrats may have accidentally triggered Republicans to abolish filibuster justthenews.com/government/c…

🇺🇸 Trump didn't lose millions of voters to the Democrats. Many of them simply STOPPED showing up.
In several 2026 Senate races, only a small share of Trump's 2024 voters switched to Democrats. Far more stayed home or voted third-party.
In North Carolina, for example, an estimated 41% of former Trump voters didn't vote Republican or Democratic, while only around 4% switched to Democrats.
Meanwhile, Harris voters from 2024 remained overwhelmingly loyal to their party.
And that changes how we should understand the midterms. Democrats didn't necessarily convince huge numbers of Trump supporters to change sides.
A big part of their victory came from showing up while many Republican voters didn't.

🚨 JUST IN: Incoming WH Chief of Staff Stephen Miller just EMERGED with president Trump at Mar-a-Lago and said it PERFECTLY
"This man took a BULLET for us. He faced down life in PRISON for us...We need to stand with the man who has stood with us and this country with every fiber of his being! It is the honor of my life to be President Trump's chief of staff. And I swear to you, and I pledge to you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment, and my total devotion to your success and the success of this country."
"Let me tell you, if it wasn't for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now. This man saved America. He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation. And he saved our country from threats at home and abroad, which would have been the end of the American dream forever!" 🇺🇸
Miller has been with Trump since the escalator in 2015, and now he's running the White House. America First is in GOOD HANDS!
He's poised to kick off the great comeback so we can kick these country destroying Democrats out of office come 2028 and beyond.
47 is CLEARLY leaning in on what got him elected in the first place, and that's a good thing for all of us 👏🏻
Go crush it, @StephenM!
Affordability?… of course not.
