Donald Trump is racing to stop the BBC from getting his financial records. After the network demanded access to his records to determine whether he actually suffered the billions in damages he claims, Trump’s lawyers are now trying to block that evidence from being turned over.

Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

It amazes me how release of the 2 y.o. Moreno girl’s photo/s and identifying info is characterized by an attorney as “an unfortunate mistake”. Just write it off. Sounds like the Epstein file debacle. With men like that in charge…

Another administration could also prosecute Trump and Blanche for fraud.
I've been wondering abt this for a while. Originally a court ratified this deal. That's fairly binding as a settlement. But I think that court pulled the plug on that (perhaps I misunderstood that contingent ruling). So I don't know why this would be binding on a future admin at all.
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 3d agoTrump’s justice department can grant him immunity from audits but I see no reasons why a subsequent administration can’t say: that was patently illegal, toss it out, and crawl all the way up his ass.
What this means is that Trump has stolen an estimated $100mm from US taxpayers by avoiding the pending audit of his filed returns. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The fact that the Blanche memo was announced yesterday jointly by Cornyn and Blanche in an X post suggests strongly that Cornyn is placated and Blanche is back on track. That's so notwithstanding the core of the tax amnesty remains, and as a bogus windfall to Trump in return for ....zero.

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.
