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.

I have zero time for conversational AI. Zero fucks also. Alexa says just a minute, I am enraged. An AI bot tells me it’s a beautiful day out, enraged again since severe storms are expected later. Not only enraging but dangerous. All ai needs an option to remove ‘conversational nonsense’

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Imagine sending your kid to your neighborhood elementary school, and then learning the whole thing was built on a former fracking waste site. Now imagine the people who built it telling you it's perfectly safe, but refusing to release any hard evidence. Bonkers story from @saulelbein.bsky.social

Homeowners are livid they weren’t told what their properties were built on. The developers claim it’s all perfectly safe.

BREAKING: It took eight tries, but the Senate has voted 50-47 to advance a resolution to limit Trump’s war on Iran. Bill Cassidy flipped after losing his primary, joining Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul in voting with Democrats. John Fetterman was the only Dem to vote against.

The BARE MINIMUM you do to a criminal defense lawyer who signs a non-prosecution agreement with HIS OWN CLIENT is disbar him. But that is insufficient for Todd Blanche, who took an OFFICIAL ACTION as acting AG as part of a BRIBE to hold his job permanently. He must be indicted.

Melania is in many photos with Epstein. Epstein introduced her to trump, and yet the republicans will not bring her in for questioning. The Epstein House investigation is performative. It is a platform to attack Democratics before elections.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
