We aren’t talking about this enough.

Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.

So Trump settled his lawsuit against his own IRS with his own DOJ over the leak of his own tax returns, which were leaked while he was President the first time and running the IRS.

Make it make sense!

Ossoff: This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq War, it's a war built on lies. Let’s update the record:

On day one, the president said it was running ahead of schedule. On day 10, he said it was very complete . Day 21, getting very close . Day 32, leaving very soon . On day 39, the President of the United States said a whole civilization will die…

And on the next day, day 40, he declared total and complete victory . Day 67, great progress. Day 79, the clock is ticking. Today is day 92 . And on day 92 Iran's ballistic missiles and drones have not been destroyed. The Strait of Hormuz, which was opened before the war is still closed. The regime is intact along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium—a stockpile Iran only built after President Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal

WOW! Imagine if Hunter Biden invested in a company and three months later the White House rushed a $620,000,000 Pentagon loan to it.

That’s exactly what Don Jr. did with Vulcan Elements. Stephanie Ruhle calls it corruption. Republicans call it “Tuesday.” The valuation jumps from $200 million to $2 billion.

Your tax dollars. Their bank account.

The Tongass National Forest is the last intact temperate rainforest on Earth.

Ancient trees—some 500 years old — rise so tall they vanish into the mist.

Bear cubs learn to fish in its streams.
Salmon return to the same rivers their ancestors used for millennia.
Eagles nest in old growth that took centuries to become what it is.

Three Indigenous nations — Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian — have called it home since long before this country existed.

17 million acres of Southeast Alaska.
It stores 20% of the carbon held across ALL U.S. forests.
It’s North America’s Amazon.

It’s National Forest Week.
And they’re about to clearcut it.

Secretary Rollins rescinded its protections last June. Trump signed an executive order stripping federal land protections further in May. Bloomberg Law reports the formal full repeal lands this summer.

9 million undeveloped acres lose protection overnight. Triple the timber-suitable acreage opens up.

11 tribal governments have fought for this forest’s survival. One of them said it plainly: “You cannot separate us from the land.”

How much old growth has to disappear before people finally call it irreversible?

This morning, I observed several mega master hearings — a new tactic the Trump administration is using where up to 100 people appear before an immigration judge as if they are on an assembly line.

Trump has turned our immigration system into a factory, denying due process and ignoring the law to indiscriminately and illegally remove our immigrant community members from this country.

This is a blatant violation of due process, and it must be stopped.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

I’m a HELL NO on Trump’s “cash for cronies” slush fund scheme.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

First, Donald Trump sued his own government. Then, his DOJ settled without a fight. And now, there's a $1.8 billion fund created to reward his friends and allies, all while working people can’t afford food, gas, or prescriptions. The corruption couldn’t be more obvious.
