Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

The assault on the IRS will blow up the deficit. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-the-d...

After adjusting for inflation, the IRS budget is 40% below its 2010 level, even as it has taken on more responsibilities and serves more taxpayers. And to be clear, this does not save America money: it blows a hole in the deficit. According to the Yale Budget Lab:

The IRS reductions from funding and layoffs have likely resulted in about $861 billion in decreased revenue. The layoffs from actions like DOGE alone have likely resulted in $597.8 billion in decreased revenue over the 2026-2035, and the clawback in IRS funding of $20 billion has likely resulted in $262.8 billion in decreased revenue over the same period.

Underrated that it’s actually a weakness of Trump’s that his allergy to subtlety and subtext means he is constantly puncturing the lies people tell themselves to be able to support him.

The replacement of Jesus with Trump as the messianic figure in right wing American Christianity is predicated on plausible deniability, and Trump breaks this contract every time he explicitly acknowledges that he has taken the place of Christ in their worship.
