At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

@FranceskAlbs We demand the @instagram & @Meta to reinstate @aseisfree's account. Journalism should not be silenced

Shame on those who try to hide the truth, especially when you try to hide and protect evils that have been done to innocent people. Shame on the Zionists destroying free speech.

Little ol me got her account disabled too just for reposting accounts like this. Despite their shady tactics, they're losing the war. Their propaganda is too blatant of a lie in today's media environment.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Disgraceful.

Social media must be a safe space especially for journalists and honest analysts.

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has already paid a heavy price for doing his job, he should be honored - not punished.

Demand IG to reinstate his account.

Trump is suing the IRS, which he oversees, for $10 billion.

Both sides want to settle to avoid going to court.

Aside from money, one of the settlement terms is to drop all audits of himself and his family.

He’s stealing $10B from taxpayers and covering up his tax crimes.

You get that, right?

BREAKING: New information has leaked indicating that in 2022 The president’s oldest son, Hunter Biden traveled with his father to China to meet President Xi, while, running a business that his father had the majority ownership in.

Oops, never mind, that was Eric Trump today.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

Trump just fired all 24 members of the National Science Board. Every single one. By email. No warning. No reason given. The board has existed since 1950.

The National Science Board is the independent body that oversees the National Science Foundation, the agency that distributes $9 billion in research grants every year.

Its members are scientists and engineers from universities and industry. They serve six-year staggered terms specifically so they cross presidential administrations and stay independent of whoever is in power.

On Friday, every single one of them got the same boilerplate email from Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office: "On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service."

That's it. That's the whole letter. For 76 years of institutional independence.

The NSF funds the basic science behind MRIs. Cellphones. LASIK eye surgery. GPS. The internet itself. The Antarctic research stations. The deep-space telescopes. The research vessels mapping the ocean floor. Every breakthrough that made America the world's leader in science for the better part of a century traces back through grants this agency made and this board approved.

The board chair, Victor McCrary, was actively advising Congress on Trump's proposed 55% cut to NSF's budget. The board was helping fight back. So Trump fired the board.

Marvi Matos Rodriguez, one of the fired members, told reporters she had been reviewing an 80-page report as part of her board duties just days before being terminated.

Keivan Stassun, a physicist at Vanderbilt, said NSF's leadership had already stopped responding to board oversight requests months ago. "We would ask them, 'Are you following board governance directives?' And their answer would be, in effect, 'We don't listen to you anymore.'"

Now there's no board to answer to.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House Science Committee, called it "the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?"

That's the actual question.

Because while Trump is firing American scientists, China is building research universities at a rate we cannot match. The CDC just buried a study showing vaccines work.

RFK Jr. runs HHS. The EPA is gutted. The Forest Service is being broken. Half of American children are breathing dangerous air. And now the people who decide what gets researched in the United States have all been fired by email on a Friday afternoon.

[Tim Hannan @TimHannan]

Why do elections only get stolen when Dumbfuck J Trump is in office? We were fine for 240 years and then this whiny bitch shows up and everything is rigged? Get the fuck out of here.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those—but any remaining sense of self-control.

"Everyone around him can see it. Yet, whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump’s. It is now America’s."

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL! Prominent journalist Max Blumenthal reveals Lara Trump and Don Jr. own a 30 percent stake in Salem Media, a registered Israeli foreign agent! The Trump family is literally taking millions from the Israeli government to propagandize the American public.

I find great hypocrisy in @SenBooker's call for virtue in his new book Stand, when he had none by cozying up to Israel and approveing military and weapons packages of tank rounds, mortars, and bomb guidance kits. His "virtuous" policies killed Palestinians.

BREAKING: [YET ANOTHER MAGA PEDO] The CHIEF OF STAFF for a top Republican official in Alaska is indicted for sex trafficking children, and HOW he was caught is incredible.

Craig Scott Valdez, 36, chief of staff to Republican Sen. George Rauscher and newly elected chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans, was arrested Friday on charges of sex trafficking a minor, producing and receiving child sexual abuse material, and coercion and enticement of a minor.

Officials believe there may be at least 12 minors who were victims of his operation.

This isn't a misunderstanding. This is a monster.

According to court documents, Valdez allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl he'd groomed on Snapchat to his home to "sexually exploit her to celebrate his birthday." He had met her when she was just 13 or 14 years old. The FBI has identified at least 11 other potential victims.

You know who stopped him that night? Not the Republican Party. Not a background check. Not any kind of vetting process.

Her mother.

A brave mom used a family tracking app to find her daughter at Valdez's home. She knocked — then walked in, punched Valdez in the face, and carried her barely-conscious child to safety.

Valdez, apparently stunned that a mother's love hits harder than his sense of impunity, then FLED HIS OWN HOUSE when police arrived.

Sen. Rauscher's office had nothing to say — firing Valdez only AFTER the charges became PUBLIC. The Anchorage Young Republicans had just elevated this man to state committee chair last month.

MAGA loves to screech about "protecting the children" at school board meetings and drag shows. But when a predator is running their own offices and youth organizations?

Crickets. Pink slips. No accountability.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America. 

Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.

They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.

This was not a drill.

This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.

Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.

Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.

The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM
