Everyone fired by doge was victimized by government weaponization. Can they file?

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

I'd like a slush fund to compensate all the professors who lost their jobs because they said something.

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Presidential Records Act is likely constitutional, issues preliminary injunction requiring compliance with the law. Judge Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, opens his opinion with an Orwell quote.

I don't know jack about plumbing but I know more about plumbing than whoever approved this.

Do we have a spending problem? I argue no. Short 🧵 Here's a graph of all program spending EXCEPT Social Security and Medicare from 1950-present (with projections through 2056). It's already way below average, moving towards historic lows. So clearly that part of the govt isn't a "problem."

Trump's commencement message to Coast Guard cadets: "I'm gonna be here in '28. Maybe I'll be here in '32 too. I don't know. Maybe I will."

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

it is so wild to admit in stories like these that you had $80 million dollars in podcast revenue and were laying people off left and right.

SCOOP: RFK Jr. has fired two leaders of the US Preventive Services Task Force, John Wong and Esa Davis. Breaking story here, more to come.

Meta is really innovating on how to create the most dickish way of firing people possible.

This slush fund to reward insurrectionists is a continuation of the assault on our democracy started by donald on January 6th. Its wrong and puts us in continued danger. See you in court

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

The sad thing is that for a few years under Bezos, the Post got really good and then it tanked.

LinkedIn is like "I'm crushing it - here's how to replicate my career success" in one post and then the next post by the same person will be "Thus ends by 15 year journey..."

This is how you deal with trash

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

It’s like one of those stamps that works even as the costs go up.

Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits ft.trib.al/ePJ9DiF

The top lawyer at the Treasury Department stepped down in the wake of the creation of that $1.8 billion 'slush fund' that could soon be making payments to Trump's political allies — and reportedly even Jan. 6 insurrectionists, according to three people familiar with the move.

No it won't.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Today in We Absolutely Saw This Coming— "Trump's $1.7+ billion fund sparks rush to capitalize: 'All J6ers will apply'" @gabekaminsky.bsky.social for CBS News

Trump wants to put $1.7 billion of your taxpayer dollars toward a slush fund for his political allies and January 6 cop killers. To Trump, there’s always money for his criminal cronies, forever wars in the Middle East, and a personal ballroom—but not for healthcare or food assistance.

The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot. But it's clear the attack on the San Diego Islamic Center yesterday could have been SO much worse. 140 children were feet away from the attackers. Security guard Amin Abdullah engaged these cowards in a gunfight, and they ran away.

After his meeting in Beijing with Xi Jinping, Donald Trump shared a digitally altered image that falsely claimed to show Joe Biden confused and turning his back on the Chinese leader years earlier. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING POST OFFICE HOURS JESUS CHRIST

man wonder what kind of stuff inspired the attack on the san diego islamic center

We've had a lot of tire-kicking in the last year and a half but if this fully goes through I think we can ultimately abandon the premise that we're operating in a rules-based democracy

The real victims of Watergate were the burglars.

This is what they think, actually

Two men were killed as they tried to draw the attention of suspected shooters away from San Diego's largest mosque and into the parking lot, Police Chief Scott Wahl said. https://cnn.it/4fvQdiw

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

Actually, the judge dismissed the case without any settlement. So Trump is just having the DOJ take taxpayer $$ without any official authorization from the courts or Congress.

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

"The Justice Department on Tuesday expanded the just-announced settlement of President Donald Trump’s lawsuit over the leaking of his tax returns to include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue any claims it may have against Trump, his family members and his companies over unpaid taxes."

Jesus, look at this thing: www.justice.gov/opa/media/14... The IRS is apparently "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from investigating Trump, his companies, and his family ever again because the Acting Attorney General (his old personal attorney) says so.

Important: Dems will seek to force Republicans to vote on a bill blocking Trump's illegal $1.8 billion slush fund, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me. Dems will use discharge petition. Hakeem Jeffries is supportive of Raskin's efforts, I'm told. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2106...

People missed this, but Trump openly declared yesterday that the illegal $1.8 billion fund will be used to reward people who helped him try to overturn the election, and to cement the narrative that they are the real victims. Let Republicans vote to defend that. newrepublic.com/article/2106...

In April 1971, following temporary closings to motor traffic, pedestrian traffic on Madison Avenue soared. New York City’s Office of Midtown Planning and Development then proposed Madison Mall: closing Madison Avenue from 42nd to 57th streets to all motor traffic except buses and emergency vehicles.
