The estate tax. Yes. Now that those mythical family farms worth once $5M or so are all gone, time to put some teeth in it.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

This was a DHS not DOJ operation, I think. Impeach Markwayne Mullin.

That’s a terrible situation. The indie plus Dem share of the vote is a little more than the GOP. But the trailing Dem candidate won’t drop out.

Bet if they seized stuff, it wasn’t within terms of the warrant, “particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or THINGS TO BE SEIZED.” 4th Amendment.

I would really like to see more prominent criticism from never-Trumpers, e.g. Kristol, Conway, KInziger, of this casual vilification of Democrats in which the GOP daily slanders their opponents.

That was clear slander or libel. If it had happened to Trump, he’d have sued already.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Congrats again to the Harvard economists & co. who told us that Scott Bessent was a "credible Treasury Secretary" bc he went to the right schools & cocktail parties & bc it is a Big Club. It might be nice for Furman & company to speak up now & correct the record. The silence really is deafening.

I wish people would refer to the constitutional definition when they go slinging around the word “treason.” And also to the accepted view it means conduct in time of war.

I'm a little unclear whether Trump's Russia diesel deal is even real. Russia's refining capacity has been devastated by Ukrainian drone strikes. Do they really have any surplus diesel to sell us?

The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?

He’ll, the death penalty itself furthers the “culture of death.” As I recall, it’s long been the case that there are increased homicides that occur in areas with highly publicized executions.

So sitting at a bar in Ann Arbor. Above the noise of the crowd, two back to back ads, Roger’s and Sayed. Sorry to say, Rogers’s, though less true hit harder, I thought. Scaring folks —taxing the rich will ruin the car business.
