Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Kash Patel is flying FBI’s $70 million Gulfstream V jet to Vegas “most weekends” where he “Drinks to excess“ at a high dollar private club ‘The Poodle Room’. At $15,000 an hour each trip cost the taxpayers $75-80,000. More if Kash stops to pick up his girlfriend in Nashville #USDemocracy #DemsUnited
We should be learning from other countries...
🚨YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: IRS data show 164 taxpayers with an average unreported foreign account balance of $1.3 billion were identified for examination - but only 12 were audited.
The agency didn't do more audits even after they discovered $39 million of taxes owed among the 12.
I once had one of those big old calculators on my desk at work. The display seemed to start dimming a bit. One day I accidentally spilled my regular Coke on it. It didn’t work for about an hour or so, but then suddenly it came on, and the display was bright again. Coke to the rescue!
Americans paid a collective $23 billion more to file their 2025 taxes after Donald Trump shut down the free tax filing program Direct File last year.
But Hunter Biden!🙄
Trump is taking Eric along on his official visit to China. Eric is officially the Executive Vice President of Development for the Trump Organization, and was set up with meetings with business leaders in Indonesia last year.

Reminder that the Biden admin was bringing us a free online filing program, but then Trump/Musk killed it before it had a chance to be expanded to everyone:
That tracks.🤦♂️
OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit
WTF?
Chart shows the success of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act to combat post-pandemic inflation and the subsequent failure of Trump. #Trumpflation
This seems like a HIPAA violation. Even as employer-sponsored healthcare, the government does not have the right to know those levels of details.
Right before Trump bombed Iran, they offered a deal he could’ve bragged about for a decade- “better than Obama” deal.
Instead he attacked them for no reason.
Now the deal on the table gives Iran control the Strait and lifts all sanctions

"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and that of his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust."

No way. He gets buried next to Ivana at the golf course! His kids can continue to get the tax deduction.
“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."
The 82nd Airborne Division deployed to the Middle East may complete a high-risk mission to retrieve uranium stored deep underground in Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site. Many will likely die.
But they wouldn't have to if Trump had not pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018. trib.al/9qifWQ9
Chris J. Suggs @chrisjsuggs By the way, April Fools is cancelled tomorrow. Keep your jokes to yourself because this whole year has been one already. We tired. Tomorrow is March 32nd.
My mood right now
using graduation of US Marines as an opportunity to harvest some of their relatives for deportation
Despicable
Thought you were going to say Kushner, same issues.
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.
Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

schoolhouse rock videos should play on a loop in the capitol
Still waiting for Trump sleeping through everything to get the @Axios double siren treatment like when Joe Biden got new Hokas.
MacFarlane: There is a new inquiry into the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified records matter
According to this new inquiry, it suggests that records were either seen or shared by Trump outside the presidency that were so highly classified that only six people in the American government had access to them
GOP Senators John Kennedy and Ted Cruz devised this off-ramp, Kennedy says on Fox: "Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, he said no. ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the president said no deal."
How about families and friends of politicians? Speaking for a President.....
