So fun fact the woman on the right is LITERALLY running for office here in Islip THIS YEAR. She wasn't identified as in the text group, but hey the company you keep you know? If you'd like to do something about that I'd suggest checking out Dave Chan's website: daveforislip.com

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax. Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes. (Published Dec. 2024)

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

My name is Leigh-Ann Barde, and I'm running for Suffolk County's 10th Legislative District to bring down the costs of everyday purchases, to turn underused county properties into housing we can truly afford, and to make child care affordable and accessible for every family.

NEW: In the Mahmoud Khalil case, Judge Farbiarz orders the government to give him a COMPLETE LIST of every time since 1975 it has invoked the secretary of state's power to deport someone for foreign-policy reasons—including a description of each case's facts and a copy of the official determination.
TEXT ORDER: The Respondents shall file a letter on or before 9:30am on May 8. It shall list each instance, other than this one, in which federal officials have invoked 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C) to seek the removal or deportation of a person from the United States. As to each case, the United States shall include (a) a description of the underlying facts of the case, and (b) a copy of the Secretary of State's determination as to the case, whether reflected in a memorandum, in a letter to the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, or in some other form. In addition, the Respondents shall file a letter on or before noon on May 8. It shall list each instance, other than this one, in which federal officials have invoked a predecessor statute to 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C) to seek the removal or deportation of a person from the United States. As to each case, the United States shall include
(a) a description of the underlying facts of the case, and (b) a copy of the Secretary of State's determination as to the case, whether reflected in a memorandum, in a letter to the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, or in some other form. For the purposes of the second May & letter, the Respondents shall focus only on the period from 1975 to the present. The text of all asserted predecessor statutes shall be included in the letter. The relevant predecessor statutes shall include the statute invoked by the United States in the Massieu case; that statute was then at 8 U.S.C. 1251(a)(4)(C)(). So Ordered by Judge Michael E.
Farbiarz on 5/7/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 05/07/2025)

Once again, a close US ally respectfully requests that their citizens be given basic respect, and Trump responds with brutal chauvinistic attacks on their economy and political system. This may thrill MAGA -- but it's bad for peace, it's bad for cultural exchange, and it's bad for us all.
