NYT article from March 31, 2026. Headline on mobile as of 8:53 PM, EST: “Justice Dept. Struggles to Respond to Trump’s Suit Against I.R.S.” Subhead: “Officials at the department and the White House are in the middle of a messy and complicated debate over how to respond to President Trump’s lawsuit demanding $10 billion from the I.R.S.” Body: The Justice Department is struggling to decide how to respond to President Trump's lawsuit demanding at least $10 billion from the I.R.S., as the department's lawyers try to resolve by a mid-April deadline the profound ethical questions the case raises, according to two people familiar with the dynamic. In late January, Mr. Trump took the extraordinary step of suing a federal agency that he oversees, accusing the I.R.S. of not doing enough to prevent the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2020. The suit immediately elicited questions about whether and how Trump administration officials would defend against a lawsuit filed by the head of the executive branch. The government has not yet responded to the case. Inside the Justice Department and the White House, senior officials are in the middle of a messy and complicated debate over their next steps, according to the people familiar with the deliberations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions.

The NYT headline decider is always their feckless GOAT, but jfc are you ever explicit in the actual conflict of interest?

Justice Dept. Struggles to Respond to Trump’s Suit Against I.R.S.

I’m just a normal idiot but imo this article fully obscures that Trump-the-person is suing for his own personal gain and not as POTUS. This framing is horrifying malpractice @nytimes.com @alanfeuer.bsky.social & esp. the genocidal ghost editors, (lmk their @'s, would love to credit the fam)

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

As real journalists from The Washington Post, the AP and elsewhere are getting laid off, pink-slime news sites are stepping in to fill the void.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I do not understand why Dems (or someone) are not broadcasting wall to wall montages of ICE thugs abusing our neighbors, abducting children, terrorizing US citizens, invading homes w no warrant, or murdering mothers. This should be a massive exercise in ISSUE SALIENCE driven by Dem elites.

Would love to hear more besides the skewering and praise you received, thanks!

Innovation = “sign out” button is now a 4-click mystery process

A cool thing about Netflix’s new narc model is that, unfortunately, I cannot sign into the account I have elected to pay for, and I cannot sign out of my sister’s account, which I have also paid (half) for since 2017. @netflix.com fantastic retention strategy!

Literally your chance to build a PALACE but FOR THE PEOPLE

No that’s reserved for friends, or for enemies.

I love that youtube shorts randomly inserts accounts with 4 followers & 10 viewers into my feed. The closest to cable access we* have now. Call-in shows, puppets, aura healings. Devoted weirdos, young and old.

*Too old for Twitch. Hope this is what Twitch is like tho!

Genuinely great as Duke Caboom, tortured French Canadian daredevil action figure, in Toy Story 4.

We’re almost at the singularity 🙏

Gotcha!

I think the goal is to privatize everything, but they forgot to find the place to privatize it or try to find it or care about finding it. Normal stuff. Private paramilitaries, jailed agitators, outlawed education. Normal fun time!

If you are trying to spin this as somehow good news for the left…it is not

Nazi grok

There was a domestic bomb attack in Palm Springs today and both @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com buried the story, all day, UNDER their OPINIONS sections, on their app’s landing page.

NYT really knocked it out of the park by ranking the Eurovision Song Contest higher. All day.

Props to this one for predicting Giuliani’s whole arc

I know he is, but he’s citing an article from a dubious source and I’m just wondering if there is a less-dubious source, because I can’t fine done. You’re also welcome to check and lmk, I’m sure Aaron would appreciate it!

This seems like it may be a hoax? Can’t find any US accounts (even social media) that confirms this.

…hoping it is, less hopeful it will stay that way

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social iOS does not recognize “fascism” or amy derivation in autosuggest/spellcheck. Is this malicious or just an oversight?

What the fuck does NYT pay an actual cold wet noodle to write their headlines about NAZI HAND GESTURES RECEIVING APPLAUSE AT CPAC

In summary - publishers are stopping libraries from buying books! Get fucked!
