WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I find it *deeply* depressing that guys like Max Miller and Ken Paxton remain viable candidates for federal legislative positions. At *worst*, 45% of people who can and do vote in their respective elections, will vote for them.
I remember the days when candidates campaigned for votes based on their policies. We called that “democracy.” Now, pundits use words like “disunity,” “division,” “chaos,” and a “fight for the future of the Democratic Party” to describe a process more commonly known as “a primary.” Robert Hubbell
A court filing from Capital One denied any political motivation behind the closure of more than 380 bank accounts in the names of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. It stated, the accounts were closed “for anti-money laundering reasons." Heather Cox Richardson
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Republicans have actually taken money and resources away from the American people and given them to pay for tax cuts for billionaires while funding a rogue agency in ICE to racially profile and indefinitely detain people without probable cause. Kristian Ramos
The Justice Department’s practice of “charge first, find evidence later” gets the order of things backward; it is not at all how things are supposed to operate. A quick review of the facts and results in these cases is instructive. Jay Kuo
I am not a gambler. But if I were, I would always bet against congressional Republicans acting with integrity or demonstrating political courage. As Todd Blanche inches closer to shaking his “acting” title and becoming the permanent attorney general, that has never been more obvious. Marc Elias
The Supreme Court could act at any time. When it does, the consequences affect how millions of Americans cast their ballots November, and they’ll tell us something important about whether this Court is willing to apply its own rules consistently when the stakes involve Donald Trump. Joyce Vance
it’s a remarkable moment in our history when the president is living in a fantasy world where he sees election fraud, albeit only when he loses, and is willing to sacrifice the voting rights of people he took an oath to serve on the altar of his personal needs. Joyce Vance
The GOP remains silent about damning domestic abuse accusations against a member of its own House conference, now corroborated by the victim’s father, a sitting U.S. senator Jay Kuo
Cornyn lost his primary. Tillis is walking. Neither has a donor, a term, or a future to protect. Both caved before lunch Monday. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
Fencing off Lafayette Park is a slap in the face to American democracy. Peaceful protesting is a cornerstone of our national identity. Blocking access to the most recognizable place to assemble and to hold the powerful accountable is detestable. But it is quintessential Donald Trump Dan Rather
What Lindsey Graham ultimately showed us is that he became the platonic ideal of somebody in the Republican Party who was so craven, so weak, and so needy that he was willing to sell his soul and completely destroy his own legacy simply to maintain proximity to power. Mary Trump
Not only has Trump not ended inflation—in June, it ran at 3.5 percent—but his decisions, especially the Iran war, have driven prices higher. Voters were willing to give Trump a chance because of their disgust with Biden. Now they’re seeing the results, and they don’t like them. David Graham
In February 2016, Trump boasted about his backing among the least-educated voters, saying, “I love the poorly educated.” They don’t love him back. David Graham
Donald Trump’s big gains with Black, Hispanic, and young voters in 2024 suggested a major shift in the voting landscape. Less than two years later, the president and his fellow Republicans have lost those new supporters David Graham
And while it may not contribute financially to individual candidates — that’s the job of the DSCC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — the DNC is spending vast sums on campaign infrastructure and voter outreach to help candidates win Michael Steele
The DNC is delivering “substantial monthly support” to every state party in the nation. While Democrats may not be taking note of any of this, trust me, Republicans are. Michael Steele
The DNC has raised more money than any DNC without the White House in the party’s history. Since President Donald Trump’s second term began, Democrats have flipped 30 state legislative seats to Republicans’ zero. Michael Steele
Republicans PUT A CRIMINAL in charge of their party… And now, we learn over 300 Trump Org. accounts were flagged, and closed for MONEY LAUNDERING. Are you SURPRISED?! 😎✨
Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president: • Iran • China • Russia • North Korea • The United States
“Are you a communist?” “No I am an anti-fascist” “For a long time?” “Since I have understood fascism.” – Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
Mockery strips away the mythology. It reminds us that beneath all of the pageantry, self-congratulation, and manufactured outrage are profoundly insecure people whose greatest fear is being laughed at. Mary Trump
