Truly insane story that involves executives who allegedly made fake tax shelters helping pay off the campaign debt of the man set to oversee the IRS and potential investigations into their schemes. www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

I'm worried about the attempt to cancel Harvard's tax-exempt status, but at least there will be someone incorruptible at the IRS guiding us through it with the public interest in mind

AOC received a standing ovation at the Missoula, Montana stop of the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Bernie Sanders, for condemning the unlawful detention of legal U.S. residents Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk—both targeted for their advocacy of Palestinian rights.

The world according to @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Due process, disappearing people to foreign concentration camps, ignoring court orders: a distraction Charlie Kirk, Michael Savage, Steve Bannon: fascinating podcast guests with whom I agree on a lot of issues

3 weeks ago a Dem congressman suggested a general strike in response to Trump’s fascist coup and was met with roaring applause from his constituents. It got basically zero media attention for some reason. More people should be considering this. Props to @majorityreport.bsky.social for covering it.

Israel Clarifies Gaza Policy: Annexation, Population Transfer, and Blocking Aid Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz outlined a sweeping and aggressive military and political strategy for Gaza in a new Twitter/X post, openly detailing measures that violate international law.

World’s Richest University Says FU to Trump, A Guy Who’s Gone Bankrupt Six Times:

Today's @majorityreport.bsky.social AM Quickie is out! Read how Harvard's objection to Trump's bullshit will rally others to fight, and about some Belgian teens in Nairobi got caught trafficking thousands and thousands of ants. JOIN US!

ah is this was all of his kids were all assigned male at birth?

I love that AOC and Bernie are filling stadiums in deep red states while some Democrats are still like, “We need to stop talking about the issues people care about. It’s a bad look. Btw could you keep this anonymous?”

🚨BREAKING: Trump's IRS nominee Billy Long just had his personal debt paid off by donors whose firms have business before the tax agency he’d lead, according to documents reviewed by The Lever. If confirmed, Long would be able to do favors for the donors. www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

Four Russian journalists have been convicted of extremism and jailed for working with an anti-corruption group founded by the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, highlighting the perils of independent journalism amid an intensified Kremlin crackdown on freedom of expression.

A powerful US official is extremely cracked. www.wsj.com/politics/elo...

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

This is how every member of Congress should be acting right now. Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

I don't know that we're ever going to come fully to terms with how preposterous all of this was. 30 "disinvitation incidents" out of all the speaking events that take place in a given year in a country with *nearly 4,000* degree granting institutions — this whole thing was a farce.

TODAY: Trump admin still claims it can’t make El Salvador give back illegally deported Maryland dad even though the US is a major nuclear superpower and El Salvador is not, how the FTC has started its antitrust case to break up Facebook, and how clean water in Alabama is somehow “illegal DEI.”

I'll be on @majorityreport.bsky.social today talking about my new book Copaganda. I'll be talking about the role the news media, liberal academics, and non-profits play in rising authoritarianism.

NEW: Kansas and Utah in recent weeks have passed laws that ban mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, but have been postmarked before polls close. And Trump issued an executive order claiming to ban them. All this, while GOP actions are threatening mail: boltsmag.org/restrictions...

This is the caliber of person deemed qualified to lead in this Administration.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Trump has experienced a 34% drop in support from voters under 30 since the beginning of his term, from +5 to -29. Astonishing.

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Trump administration is comfortable disappearing people to foreign gulags partially because the Trumpis Justices on the Roberts Court have enabled him at every turn, rewriting the Constitution when necessary to accommodate Trump's lawlessness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“The Supreme Court is about to decide whether the Trump administration can exile Americans to a gulag overseas and then leave them there.”

No, AOC didn’t collect her dead grandma’s Social Security checks: www.dailydot.com/debug/aoc-so...

A massive thank you to all who shared their stories with me at the Hands Off! protest this weekend about how funding cuts have derailed their lives. I wrote about them for the @majorityreport.bsky.social newsletter this morning.
