“Bari Weiss Exits CBS to Run North Korean State Media” “I was a big fan of her work at CBS,” said the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. “I’ve spent years trying to purge all the news from our media and she pulled it off in a matter of months.”-Borowitz Report

The slush fund was outrageous. Barring IRS audits is even more outrageous and pure corruption. It should not stand!

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

Let the lawsuits against this colossal tax cheat and his crooked deal with his own criminal defense lawyer commence

This outrageous agreement is pure corruption and should be disallowed. Trump barely cares about the fund as there is no money coming his way from the it. But barring IRS audits is his sweet spot as it’s been estimated that he could save $100 -$600 billion in back taxes and penalties from audits.

“Trump Signs Executive Order Seeking Oversight of A.I. Models”-NYT I fully agree that government guardrails regulating AI are warranted and necessary. But I shudder at the notion that the inept, unqualified, and totally corrupt Trump administration will have that responsibility.

More proof Trump is not a serious yet dangerous president. 👇 POTUS Trump named Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence , a surprise move that would elevate a political ally with no known background in intelligence to a key national spy post.

Voter fraud is so rare that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot. So why does Trump keep bringing it up? To use it as a pretext to sabotage the midterms.

More to Trump’s legacy of the destruction of America’s global leadership. Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System the network of instruments collecting data that has been critical to climate and ocean research.” 👇

Trump Backs Off Plan for $1.8 Billion Fund That Drew Political Backlash. Let’s not forget the “no IRS audits” deal that is a part of the total agreement. Trump’s not financially effected by losing the slush fund but the audit scam could save him btw $100 - $600 million in back taxes and penalties.

High-Wire Negotiations With Iran? Trump Finds It ‘Very Boring.’ President Trump told CNBC that he “couldn’t care less” if the negotiations with Iran break down. When you’re not up to the challenge intellectually shutting down is the easiest path to take.

More insanity under Trump leadership. Another feature of his legacy. “Doctors around the country say they are seeing more cases of serious and life-threatening illnesses that vaccines have long kept at bay, including whooping cough and bacterial infections that can cause pneumonia or meningitis.”

"60 Minutes" has spent more than 50 consecutive seasons as the top-rated news program in the country. Insiders credit its insular culture within CBS News with preserving its editorial sanctity.”-Axios Why tinker with this? A deal with the devil himself to remove a consistent critic of Trump.

Pointing in the mirror. Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu: “You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this." “What the fuck are you doing?" And yet……

One thing Trump has never been accused of is having good taste.

A separate addendum to the anti-weapon slush fund bars the IRS from pursuing audits, examinations, or related tax claims involving Trump, certain family members, trusts, and affiliated businesses for returns filed before May 18, 2026. Is Trump also rescinding that?? It’s even more corrupt.

Trump spends a preponderance of his time building monuments to himself, putting his picture on buildings, his name on projects, etc. It’s Trump branding on steroids. But his legacy will be the Iran War, the destruction of NATO, and the rise of China.

Trump tells CNBC: 'I don't care' if Iran negotiations are over. But his passion for the Ballroom is unwavering.

….and what about his, his children’s and Trump businesses escape from IRS audits. The fund is an easy give up since he was not getting any money from it. Eliminating audits on the other hand will save him an estimated $200-$600 million. So, what the story there?

“Hegseth Strikes Female and Black Navy Officers From Promotion List. The decision to block the officers’ promotions appears driven by his anti-diversity stance rather than based on merit.” Any doubts about Trump’s loyalists? And yet people of color and women still vote GOP. Insane.

“We clearly need to restore trust in some binding leaders and institutions, lift competent people above the noisy ones, ease people through the AI transformation, find more common ground and common truth, and shift attention to what works, not just what sucks. 👇

“A judge ordered that Trump’s name be scrubbed from the “Kennedy Arts Center and halt plans to close the venue. Trump said he may give up involvement in the center but fears that could still destroy the D.C. arts institution persist.” Everything Trump touches turns to shit even if he paints it gold.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

New: Cancel Trump's ridiculous arch

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

The Trump administration has converted large warehouses into prison like immigration detention centers that broadly mistreats immigrants awaiting deportation. You wouldn’t call them concentration camps but the reported deplorable conditions beg comparison. America has lost its way.

“The AI boom is pushing companies from tech giants to automakers deep into the energy business. For decades, energy was an input. In the AI era, it's becoming the product.” And while this all flushes out consumers are bearing a big part of the cost without any corresponding benefit.

Breaking another law Trump will hold a taxpayer paid for political rally calling for the cancellation of a concert series celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday this summer after a wave of musicians pulled out. “Cancel it. We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead.”

America has become a lawless and rogue nation in the eyes of the global community. 👇 “The U.S. Boat Strike Campaign Has Now Killed Over 200 People. Residents of coastal communities in Colombia and Ecuador say the airstrikes are making many reconsider anything involving the ocean as a livelihood.”

On the list of Trump obsessions -which include the ballroom and arch-is the reflecting pool. It seems his patchwork surface solution ignores known infrastructure issues that will continue to plague the memorial pool. Like the Iran War he’ll declare it fixed, move on, and blame Biden when it fails.

“Some students are asking ‘Is it worth getting a job that may help career wise — having one year of Trump administration experience on your résumé or will it hurt?” asked a conservative Republican in law school. If you’re asking that question you’re already morally a Trumper. Drink the Kool-Aide.

What's more humiliating than squeaky tank wheels in a lackluster birthday parade, you ask? A cage match on the White House lawn. We are just a joke.

This doesn’t get enough attention. “ICE Agents to Leave Site of Volatile Protests at Detention Center where federal officers pushed protesters to the ground and sprayed a chemical irritant. One officer beat a demonstrator with a baton across the torso, thighs, knee and calves as he tried to flee.”

“A federal judge in Miami reopened President Trump’s $10 billion case against the I.R.S. in a striking turnabout, saying that she wanted to investigate “grievous allegations” that the hasty deal to resolve it was “premised on deception.” Ya think?

“A federal judge ordered that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remove President Trump’s name from the building’s facade and all official branding” When this regime is ousted-and it will be- I look forward to stripping all of Trump’s branding photos, arches, and gold leafing of DC

In the Trump White House everything is a con. 👇 “The Pentagon is seeking hundreds of troops to be spectators at a UFC cage-fighting match at the WH on Trump’s birthday including a requirement that personnel “MUST MEET CURRENT WAIST-HEIGHT RATIO and current physical fitness standard” to attend.”

Honestly, this is good because it removes any plausible deniability about the type of people Trump put in charge of his domestic paramilitary operations

“America's billionaires are anxious to defuse a populist revolt aimed at their ballooning fortunes. The AI boom has dramatically raised the stakes of the wealth-tax debate while minting the world's first trillionaires.”-Axios One thing is certain; they will donate million$ to pols who protect them.

Trump’s is interest in Cuba: “Venezuela has oil, Cuba has real estate. There's a lot of beachfront property in Cuba. I know this sounds ridiculous, but the Trump organization was scouting out and negotiating hotel and golf course properties as late as 2016 when I was negotiating with the Cubans.

Ben Rhodes on Iran War residue: “I think intangibly, the damage to the United States and how people look at us in the world has suffered an existential blow from this entire Iran scenario and story. We've showed that we don't keep agreements. We've showed that we bomb countries during negotiations.

I just love the “mistakes were made” defense. 👇 Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee on Friday that the Justice Department made “redaction errors” in its release of records related to Jeffrey Epstein

Only SOME experts are alarmed?? 👇 “Dell was granted a $9.7 billion Pentagon contract after Trump bought company stock. Trump then repeatedly praised the company in public. — some ethics experts are alarmed.”

With tariffs, the Iran War and now the threat by DHS to close most major US airports to international flights, the Trump admin loaded with unqualified partisan hacks is constantly looking for new and creative ways to wreck the economy while blaming Biden.

OK Just saying 👇 Trump officials pushed for a $250 bill with Trump's portrait. However an 1866 law mandates that only deceased individuals may be depicted on U.S. currency.

The Trump effect: 👇 A record-high 56% of Americans say moral values in the U.S. are "poor," according to a Gallup poll out this morning. That's up 12 points from last year. 80% say moral values are "getting worse" — 14 points higher than '25. Trump should put his name and picture on that.

…. contractors for government projects similar to the Reflecting Pool profit 6 to 12 percent on the project’s margins, but the company hand-picked by Trump for this one is promised a 20-percent profit – amounting to at least $850,000 more in total cost. Oh, that.

Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

Blatant, in-your-face racism. Call this out. Always. Where are the journalists saying, "Mr. Trump, you're saying everyone from Somalia is a 'crook' – how is this not racist?"

“Only two questions remain regarding the U.S. war with Iran. One, how big a plate of crow will President Trump have to eat to end this conflict with at least some achievements? And two, will he tell us the crow he’s eating is lobster or filet mignon?”-T L Friedman

The Univ of Florida is purging and replacing “woke” classes. Courses covering issues related to class, inequality, race and gender no longer count toward graduation requirements, while new classes offer a more conservative vision. May as well cut them off from the mainland to float out to sea.
