El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed on Rogers: "What he's missing is that politics has changed since 2000 when he got in office. Now, it's not enough to just get $70m & run 30 second ads. You actually have to stand for something, & this is a guy who doesn't want to explain why he's backing Trump on the most ridiculous war..."

That tax audit protection is BS and won't hold up in court. It needs to be cleared up right now because we can't have a country where the President declares himself exempt from financial crimes. And only a criminal would want such a thing.
Ariana Niko@ariananiko.bsky.social · 16h agoTrump gets special protection from future IRS audits of his family’s past tax returns while everyone else has to follow the rules. He demands investigations of anyone who crosses him, then uses presidential power to shield himself. That isn’t leadership. It’s corruption with government protection.
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Sen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
Should be a huge scandal. And yet we know it won’t be.
HuffPost@huffpost.com · 2d ago“A careful review...suggests that the United States has killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking," Kaine stated.
A win! Prosecutors in Washington are dropping charges against three more defendants who had been accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what happens, it can’t be forgotten.

Trump accounts were closed in 2021 due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says
Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
The face of a criminal that knows he's protected by powerful men.
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2d ago11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Forbes and Bradley Endicott noted that in messages to friends and internet searches, Boelter appeared fixated “on the balance of power between the political parties in Minnesota and elsewhere power was closely divided.”

Exactly this. Only a serious criminal would need tax immunity. And despite what people seem to think, financial crimes are serious crimes. It's way past time to start treating them as such.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2d agoThe news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
This whole thing needs a lot more light on it. I know people have been desensitized to Trump's criminality, but it's time to wake people up. He really needs to go as soon as possible.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoI think I have more Capital One accounts in good standing than the Trump Organization. I definitely pay more in taxes. Do I get audit immunity or nah?
The irony of this given my last visit to Florida, where every single part of the place feels grimy and sick.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Yep. And I bet his desperate need for immunity from tax audits is related directly to this.
