If a future IRS has good reason to pursue a claim against Trump or its family, it should not undersand itself to be bound by this corrupt document.

I give Tillis a tiny bit of credit for this. Will other members of the party that supposedly “backs the blue” push back on the ridiculous slush fund? A fund that could pay insurrectionists who stormed a government building and assaulted police.

“Alan Chambers is accused of trying to meet a 14 year old boy for sex. He once was the head of Exodus International. For 4 decades the church said it helped ‘cure’ gays and lesbians across the country.”

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

First paragraph ... First sentence "Trump paid 750 DOLLARS in income taxes"

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Whether it’s Ken Paxton committing multiple felonies or James Talarico ordering a vegetarian taco, both Texas Senate candidates have troubled pasts.

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

This is happening while US’s public health agencies are understaffed and suffering from brain drain, and our top so-called health official is an anti-science loon making health policy decisions with no medical or public health background. Buckle up, folks we’re in for a ride. #hantavirus

Eye-opening thread helping to understand why many stories some of us think are important don’t break through into the collective consciousness *despite* media coverage.

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 1, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.39 (⬆️ $0.09 from yesterday, ⬆️ $1.41 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.24 (⬆️ $1.38 since war began) • Diesel: $5.57 (⬆️ $1.81 since war began)

The US DOJ, you’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

in a fight between sam altman and elon musk i’m rooting for a sinkhole

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

This puts the security debate in better perspective. I know this space really well. The guy wasn’t anywhere near the ballroom. He was basically trying to rush the security perimeter and failed. It’s a big complex with lots of different event happening at the same time.

Great essay, worth reading. We are "ruled" by sociopaths. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

with David Ellison's bizarre dinner "in celebration of the First Amendment" and "honoring the Trump White House" tonight, here is a timeline of how Ellison is destroying the First Amendment (1 of 3)

Most CEOs can probably be replaced byAI tbh

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

Amazon should be shut down for this. Of course, it won’t be.

I know this is true nationwide, & has been for too long especially for our Black & brown neighbors but in DC there is zero accountability for cops' & Fed agents' egregious lawless & unconstitutional behavior. Bang-up job @mayorbowser.dc.gov, we feel safer already. Go ahead & increase police budgets

I’m not a big Jeffries fan but this is a good speech.

The threat itself — entirely on its own — warrants his removal, by whatever means that may come to pass.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

alright christian god i know we’ve had our quarrels but i am prepared to ‘go catholic’ if you make it happen for comedy effect today specifically. i won’t half ass it like i do with judaism either. i’ll wear the thing on my head and eat the crackers and shit

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

I can’t wait for this primary to be over!

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

On Donald Trump's watch, the US military incinerated nearly 200 children. "Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

Aldi, I love ya but we need to have a talk about contrast and legibility.

your new DHS secretary, everyone:

We all know the president is starting a war to distract from the Epstein files.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitution—or laws at all—impeachment is necessary.

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

Starting an illegal and unnecessary war alongside your dictator bff is a great way to distract from the Epstein files! #Iran

How much Dem money is wasted on these grifts? Trying to use the #SOTU as a critical event. Can’t block them fast enough.

Half packs of buns, must buy in multiples of 2… which will still cost more than just buying one normal pack. Genius pricing there, Jewel!

This. While we should strive to make the country a kinder and gentler place over all, there will always be assholes. Preventing the assholes from getting into power—and yanking them out if they slip in—ought to be an achievable goal for a just society.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling
