šŸšØ The Washington Post reports DHS is pressuring the IRS to share confidential tax records to help locate 7 million suspected undocumented immigrantsā€”an unprecedented escalation in Trumpā€™s deportation plan. IRS officials warn it may be illegal.

remembering fondly when people were like "don't promote 50501, it's not real, it's a psyop"

Well that's certainly interesting. Corrupt as F, but also interesting.

If weā€™re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

There are more of us.

The most qualified Supreme Court justice nominee in history gets dismissed as a ā€œDEI hireā€ā€”because sheā€™s Black. Mediocre White men donā€™t get this disrespect!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Nothing says ā€œlead the Pentagonā€ like mommy making phone calls for her very good boy.

Alright, who made this? šŸ¤£

The Opinion column on the Post's homepage has the non-endorsement spiel followed by five different items blasting it. I don't recall seeing such an open revolt at a publication before.

This is the entirety of the Willamette Weekā€™s presidential endorsement, and to be honest it does the job just fine.
