The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. In 2024, we found the IRS concluded in a long-running audit that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on a failed Chicago tower. That audit could have cost him more than $100 million. (From May 2024 w/ @nytimes.com)

Every day. Every single flippin' day another dumb-a grievance targeted on the It's a Bottomless Pit Retribution Tour. Today we do windmills, and America takes another step back.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six. I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

"I doubt Senator Kelly will see this blog, and if he does see it, I imagine he will not be pleased with it. He’ll probably find it embarrassing. His humility likely makes him bristle at stuff like this. Well, that’s just too damn bad, Senator."

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

It infuriates me that major media, including NBC, played a big story on the “interview” with Maxwell- which was a TOTAL WHITEWASH of reality.

I wrote a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon urging her to reconsider the elimination of $1 billion in grants for school mental health programs. Canceling funding kids rely on makes them less safe and is a step backward. Sec. McMahon, I look forward to your response.

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

Been thinking about this cartoon. For no reason. Really. It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.
A color cartoon from Puck Magazine in 1889 showing a row of huge "fat cat" bankers looming over the Senate. It's titled "Bosses of the Senate."A photo of the billionaires at Trump's inauguration.
