FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

The NY Post got hoaxed and reported that “thousands” of 9/11 families had signed a petition against Mamdani. After the hoax was exposed, they assigned a huge team of reporters to manufacture the fake story they already published and try to make it retroactively true. The crack team of reporters...
Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social · 2d ago2. Then the Post assigned 10 REPORTERS to track down more 9/11 families who want Mamdani banned. They are now up to 10 people. The last I’ve checked, that’s not “thousands.”

Is there a really good Explainer on Ken Paxton's many girlfriends, mistresses, and ex-wife? Who, when, what's the timeline and overlap? Which one posted the IG message of vindication? I literally cannot keep track. #txlege
Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social · 3w agoKen Paxton recently bought 3 Utah luxury condos worth $1.6 million. He then put them in a blind trust that shares an address with the Dallas home he appears to be sharing with a woman who is not his wife.
🦊 When I redesigned my website, I added a statement about how I use (or don’t use) “AI” on it. I then discovered a TON of similar statements, representing a whole spectrum of approaches and opinions. I learned a lot from them, so I thought I’d share a few faves. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/folded...

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
Matt Negrin still host of Hardball on MSNBC@mattnegrin.bsky.social · 3w agoAs has been the case for six years any news outlet taking trump live thursday night after he said he’ll lie about the 2020 election and the legitimacy of georgia’s senators is explicitly endorsing that lie as a legitimate opinion
A story in three parts: 1. Trump positions the US as a mercenary force, illegally charging protection money in the Strait of Hormuz, upending centuries of foreign policy 2. Sycophants call it a masterstroke 3. Trump discovers he can’t execute his plan and abandons it in embarrassing fashion
One day later, Trump abandons his plans for legally dubious tolls on Strait of Hormuz
The president said his radical policy would “begin immediately.” Perhaps that wasn’t his best choice of words.
