Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the IRS. What does that mean for you? Longer call wait times and more wealthy tax cheats. It’s the story of the Trump Administration: Billionaires win, families lose.

Just a reminder that our soon-to-be Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has been a member of a bizarre pseudo-Hindu anti-LGBTQ cult since childhood, and remains active in it today. Thread 1/11

College freshman today were 6 years old in the 2012 election. A student of mine (age 20) told me after class that he appreciates when I explain how US politics and media were different before, because the Trump era is all he’s seen. This is what young Americans think politics is. It’s normal now.

What a strange headline for a story that notes: 1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID. 2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats." 3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent." 4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.

Only hope for the free world, because the Democrats certainly won't wise up on their candidate selection.

If you're following the international coverage it's clear that the US was critical in setting this up—as in, Israeli politicians are almost universally thanking Biden specifically for it—but I've barely seen this aspect covered in the US press (which is odd given they're usually way too US centric).

Certainly some people support Trump despite this, but many support him because of it. Plenty of Americans are fascist lunatics who would kill you for a nickel.

Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit: Beim Verlassen der AfD-Versammlung wurde der Reporter erst beschimpft, dann geschlagen und ihm die Kopfbedeckung abgezogen. Als er kurze Zeit später in sein Auto stieg und losfahren wollte, bemerkte er in allen vier Reifen Schrauben, die bis zum Kopf versenkt waren.

This week was the most unhinged week Republicans have had in Congress for a while, which is saying something: Meltdowns, screaming and multiple (near and actual) physical altercations (including threatening to beat up a witness in a hearing) just stunning stuff.

OpenAI just announced they've fired Sam Altman.

Sam Altman out at OpenAi. The blog post is... Not good, and his vagueness in his own announcement does the rest to make me think some bad shit has happened...

Klarer kann man sich nicht distanzieren. Wer, wie viele Unionspolitiker, unverdrossen behauptet, Fridays for Future Germany würde Antisemitismus tolerieren, betreibt eine Lügen- und Schmutzkampagne.

Überraschenderweise recht vernünftige Kommentarspalte, die den Schuldigen klar identifiziert. Ja, man will etwas gegen das Leiden ausrichten können, aber selbst die Zivilopfer der israelischen Bomben sind direkt der Hamas-Taktik des menschlichen Schutzschilds zuzuordnen. Hamas bricht Kriegsrecht!

Again, to nobody's surprise, another of Trump's lies breaks down into nothingness. But keep harping about Hunter Biden - a private citizen - while your own partially elected politicians keep raiding the country and destroying its base ever more.

When I was reporting on Giuliani's Ukraine backchannel in Ukraine in 2019 (before the impeachment scandal broke, in part thanks to our reporting) it was clear early in that Kulyk was patient zero for all the Biden family / Ukrainian interference disinfo. So I met him for 4 hours of rambling nonsense

Überrascht hoffentlich niemanden... Das Krankenhaus schießt ja nicht von allein zurück. Der Hamas ist ihre eigene Bevölkerung halt scheiß egal und die Kommunikation über die Toten als "Märtyrer" eigentlich nur noch zynisch.
