🗣️ DO YOU WANT TO BE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR??!?

Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting weighs in on President Trump's EO: "CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority."

The largest investors in Donald Trump’s crypto coin have been promised a private audience with the president. The arrangement could put Trump at odds with the Constitution and add fuel to calls for his impeachment, experts say. www.wired.com/story/trumps...

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

I'm old enough to remember when even stupid people knew it was stupid to put stupid people in charge.

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

“I cannot think of going back to Afghanistan,” an Afghan refugee, who was told to self-deport by Good Friday, told John McCormack. “The Taliban soldiers … if they can kill Americans, if they can kill Christians. … I will not survive.”

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Ben Wittes, Roger Parloff, Quinta Jurecic, & Anna Bower, I would be glad to make a “Champion” contribution toward the $15,000 match by your generous donor. Lawfare is literally indispensable in these historic times in which we live.

Judge Luttig is incredible.

With Trump reportedly planning to end the IRS Direct File program, there's no better time to remember how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

This was not newsreel footage of two dictators meeting somewhere far away and long ago. This was yesterday. Here in Washington, D.C. In the Oval Office. A sickening spectacle. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/two-dictat...

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wrote a thing at how the Bukele/Trump meeting, full of absolute nonsense and bullshit in support of out-and-out fascism and despotism, is yet another dark day in America. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/14/t...

in addition to everything else in this piece, this is an important reminder: "the person who did the biggest mass release of criminals into the US was Donald Trump when he pardoned all of the convicted January 6th Capitol insurrectionists."

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.
