You know, if I were taking lots of bribes, laundering money, and cheating on my taxes, I probably wouldn’t want the IRS to be able to audit me either.

Republicans in Congress would rather sacrifice the lives of American troops than offend Donald Trump. So, yeah, it’s a cult.

The FDA guidance that followed would open the door for major tobacco companies to sell flavored vapes and grab a piece of the $6 billion e-cigarette market from illegal Chinese competitors. Reynolds has now put $8 million total into MAGA Inc.

If Donald Trump's tax returns are so embarrassingly toxic that he needs immunity from being prosecuted for filing them—and their release would "destroy" him—I think we have ourselves *another* coverup of Trump crimes.

This. When you abuse and bully someone for years, you don't get to act shocked when they hate you. If they strike back, you don't get to pretend it was unprovoked. We stole democracy from Iran and gave them a theocratic dictatorship. I'd hate us too. substack.com/@marlonweems...

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

The United States has moved into a stupid, corrupt era where reparations go to people who did bad things, not to people to whom bad things were done. 🤷‍♀️

Good to see: Nearly 100 House Dems just filed papers calling on the judge to throw out the lawsuit that's the basis for Trump's "settlement" creating his new slush fund, arguing that DOJ is colluding with Trump to illegally circumvent Congress:

NEW: Atty General falsely claims that a "ton of evidence" exists that 2020 election was stolen, but can't answer why DOJ hasn't made it public or brought charges. Blanche: "I’m not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer...but we're looking at it and we’re hoping to get one.”
