That’s right: Donald Trump’s sweetheart deal with his own IRS is a sham. In no world should Trump be allowed to bully his IRS into dropping ALL audits of his and his family's taxes.

This is what government looks like. Imagine.

#bookreview 49 of 2026 Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino is a #thriller with a unhinged character in pursuit of her dream home. The novel is a satire about the US house buying. I loved this #debut novel by Kashino. 5 out of 5. #bluesky readingwithmyeyes.com/2026/07/13/w...

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Where did we get the idea the #poor were #lazy and #immoral and the #rich were good & #blessed by God? 1530 Henry 8th closed monasteries which had fed the poor, sick, etc. on Catholic principles so state took it over. Badly. The #elite have pushed this idea ever since.

'...affected my attitude to money. I never had it in the early days, so never formed a love for it. Always saw it more as a tool to use for what I needed, not something to acquire out of greed. Never a wanter. If I buy something, I need it, almost always for my work. I’ve no interest in trends.'

This is an updated list to my fmr. Pinned post. I’ve added findhelp.org as their maps include meal assistance programs for those with medical needs , these vary by location, but worth searching if you, your aging parent or your child has dietary needs .
