BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trump’s IRS case and demands to know if her court was defrauded.

Judge Kathleen Williams has had enough.

In a brief but devastating order Friday, the federal judge in Miami reopened Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny — and ordered Trump's lawyers to explain by June 12th why she shouldn't find that the entire scheme was a fraud perpetrated against her court.

The judge's language was pointed and precise. She said she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to resolve the case was "premised on deception." She asserted that she was "empowered to investigate serious misconduct" and demanded answers to two devastating questions: was "the court the victim of a fraud," and did Trump collude with his own government to settle the case specifically "to avoid judicial scrutiny"?

The answer to both questions, based on everything that has already been reported, appears to be yes.

Judge Williams had been circling this case for weeks before Trump pulled it. She had openly questioned how Trump could sue an agency he controls, with government lawyers who answer to him, producing a settlement negotiated with officials he appointed. She ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually adversaries or secretly colluding. Trump dismissed the case the day before those briefs were due.

Then, after she closed it, the Justice Department released not one but two extraordinary agreements — a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies, and a separate one-page document permanently barring the IRS from ever auditing Trump, his family, or his businesses. Agreements that had apparently been negotiated while the case was supposedly active before her court.

Judge Williams cited the New York Times report revealing that the IRS had prepared a 25-page memo outlining strong defenses against Trump's suit — defenses the Justice Department never raised in court, never filed, never mentioned.

Her order came directly in response to the filing by 35 former federal judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — who called the scheme a fraud and urged her to reopen the case.

She listened.

"We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter," said Norman Eisen, who represented the former judges.

Trump tried to flip the table before she could see the cards. She just put them back on the table.

If you can’t wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.

🚨TODAY IS TAX DAY:

And the ONLY party who wants to lower YOUR taxes are the Democrats:

Senator Mark Kelly unveils a plan to ELIMINATE federal income tax for Americans earning under $46,000 - and slash taxes up to $161,000.

Trump’s donors don’t want you to see this:

It’s fully paid for by people making over $1 million a year.

Not working families.
Not the middle class.

The millionaires and billionaires sitting on more wealth than they could ever spend.

Kelly laid it out to CTA Media Network’s Joe Gallina:

"billionaires…have more money than they… can spend in multiple lifetimes while we have people (who) can't afford a place to live and can't send their kids to college and never go on vacation.
It’s just not right.”

This isn’t a tweak.

This game-changing bill takes a sledgehammer to a broken system - and forces a reckoning with the affordability crisis Donald Trump made worse.

President Trump has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him, and we won. We expect the same result this time.

They know where to find your son for the draft. But when you want to vote, you have to jump through hoops to prove who you are. This is not about election security. https://t.co/jLTKJj30dB @DA_VeteranMilit

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.”

There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist, and no morality in a political system that would give such unprecedented power to this criminal.

Women don’t need to vote, work, or even talk. In fact, women should just shut up and know their place. This is what the Christian right is telling us. What do you want to tell them?

BREAKING: IT’S HAPPENING! Stunning new poll shows Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola WINNING by 5pts against her Republican opponent in dramatic 10-pt swing!

The path to Democrats retaking the Senate looked uphill indeed until former Congresswoman Mary Peltola announced she was going to challenge MAGA millionaire Dan Sullivan for his critical Alaska Senate seat.

All of a sudden, the map shifted dramatically – and after three months of campaigning, Peltola is now in the LEAD by 5% after starting the race down 4.5%!

The more Alaskans learn about Mary Peltola, the more they like her. The first Native Alaskan woman to ever be elected to Congress, Mary Peltola can speak directly to your everyday Alaskan in a way that Dan Sullivan, a lawyer from Ohio who rode his father’s corporate billions to the top, just can’t.

Mary is a native Yup'ik who has spent her entire life working for Alaska, beginning as a herring and salmon technician for Fish and Game and rising to eventually work as a state legislator, city councilor, community development manager, and director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.

Her core values of fish, family, and freedom have guided her entire career, and now they’re going to drive a winning Senate campaign that will be vital to Democrats retaking the Senate.

Great job, Mary! Let’s keep up the good work and flip the Senate blue!

Republicans can mock the No Kings protests all the want, but the reality is it just grew from 6 million to 8 million people in a few months. 3,300 rallies in all 50 states, many in suburbs and small towns.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. A record 36 are retiring early. Donald Trump is sitting around 40% approval at best, closer to the low 30s by some measures.

When a president is under 50%, their party historically loses an average of 34 seats in Congress. Democrats only need a handful of seats. The energy is real and it is growing.

Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

It could not be more wrong in terms of the priorities and the interests that this president has at heart. But it’s because he knows that this isn’t going to impact him or his buddies.
