Fan of @Cardinals, traveling, photography, and show tunes. @cafemoxo once called me the “tie guy.” AKA "The guy who's kinda chatty." @SIUC '11, @UISPAR '13.
Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.
He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

Hey @united. First you cancel my flight tomorrow. Then I try chatting with an agent to rebook at a nearby airport, but you messed up our booking and now I'm checked-in for a flight at an airport I don't want. Your app and customer service line won't get me to an agent. Help!!!!
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
@jeff_suppan@Royals@hallofgoodpod Jeff, life-long @Cardinals fan here. Your time with the Redbirds created countless key memories for me as a kid. I always loved the "Jeff Suppan Word of the Day" from the broadcasters whenever you pitched.
Hoping your retirement has been nothing short of wonderful!

💔 “The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back. It makes me really sad.”

All at once, Trump is:
-Threatening to take over Greenland
-Threatening to strike Iran
-Wielding apparent control over Venezuela
-Threatening the invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops in Minneapolis
The administration has leaned heavily into labeling Good things like - "leftist insurrectionist," or "domestic terrorist" to adjudicate this case in the public square - by trying to create the image that Good somehow deserved her fate. The only legitimate process -- to determine the justification or culpability of the people involved -- is a legal one, and that would entail a fair and thorough investigation with evidence, witness testimony, etc. Any other conclusions are merely political posturing and messaging.
BREAKING: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
Well, this is good news! President Trump’s 600% reduction in drug prices means the pill you pay $10 for now will be absolutely free plus the drug company will hand you $50 per pill in cash.
+ When did Congress approve such a plan?
+ Where is the money coming from?
+ How is it non-taxable? Did Congress vote to do that?
I'm sure there must be specific bill text.
