US tax authorities will be barred from pursuing claims against the president, his eldest sons and the Trump Organization under a deal to halt a $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. https://t.co/UTiZF44UqA

To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.
@jhong@danprimack It strikes me as very risky to to the US have one person controlling a $2 trillion+ company performing all ai and space work for the US government. Ideally US officials, who will happily throw their personal money into a deal, set up guardrails. Or congress should.
I love that people are community noting @BarackObama that "he did it too" when the entire premise of the current rise to power was that it wasn't being done the right way.

This chart shows that the top 1% of California taxpayers are responsible for more than 33% of all tax dollars.
The top 0.1% of California taxpayers payers (~17,500 people) are responsible for more than 16% of all tax revenues.
The point is that only a few people, in a state of 40M people, pay a huge portion of the state’s revenues. As one of them, I can tell you categorically that we’ve had enough. We will all move if this tax insanity doesn’t stop and pockets are organizing already to do so en masse.
The middle class will then be left alone to pay for all the waste of the politicians you’ve elected because they have no ability to stop.
“That it is better 100 guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved, never that I know of controverted.”
