The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

🧵 Early voting has begun in Michigan, where anti-voting activists appear to be setting the stage to potentially interfere with certification of election results they don’t like. The state is also home to one of the most important Senate contests in the midterms. Here’s what to know 👇

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

Part of telling Palantir to back off as a community is doing our civic duty at the polls! It’s time for Palantir to stop profiting from ICE attacks on our neighbors, stop helping companies spy on people at work, and stop tracking how Americans speak out.

I dug into Netanyahu’s decades-old writings & exclusive meetings with DC elites, and found how far he went to make himself the West's foremost "terror" expert — and thus steer America's endless War on Terror. It's a saga that touches everything from Mario Cuomo & H.W. Bush, to Reagan & Iran-Contra.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Haven’t seen as yet any Australian political reporters ask Albanese, Marles or Wong why Australia is all in with a defence alliance with a country supporting Russia

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russia’s wartime ally — & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."

there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

For the contract, data, and Michelle Pfieffer nerds out there, a 🧵. ICE plans to buy ERO ONE through OASIS+. OASIS+ is a GSA contract vehicle for professional services. GSA has already vetted a pool of companies. Agencies order work from that pool, and only companies in the pool can compete.

ICE is fast-tracking a $100 million domestic surveillance program to put 142 intelligence agents in more than two dozen cities and D.C. prospect.org?p=146221
