This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Okey, så var det på tide å se på forsikringer da. Dette er prisendringene jeg fikk fra 2025 til 2026.
Bil: +14%
Hytte: +21%
Hus: +22%
Alvorlig talt? Det ville blitt resultatet om jeg lot det skure å gå. Så måtte ordne litt så det blir en prisreduksjon på 20-30% fra dagens priser og havner noe under nivået fra i fjor.
Men hvorfor skal det være sånn? Sjøl om jeg prøver å minimere forsikringer (har f.eks kun ansvar på kjerra vel vitende om at jeg er blant verdens 2% verste sjåfører) så er noe forsikring nødvendig/lovpålagt. Og fordi noen elsker å ringe rundt og deale (jeg hater det men må jo bare gjøres) så er det ikke sånn for alle.
Masse folk i landet her som blir rundtlurt og loppa, noe som opplagt også synes i selskapene sin lønnsomhet.
Mitt poeng er at det er fint å være flink til å forhandle (dvs gidde å plukke opp telefon). Og skal du kjøpe hus/bil/reise osv så er det fair at noen får det billigere enn andre. Men på ting du MÅ ha. For eksempel bank og forsikring. Da er det usmakelig å regelrett FLÅ de som er svake og ikke synes forhandlinger eller setninger med liten skrift er stas. 🤮 Skjerpings

He’s going to regret doing this interview.
NEW and BREAKING: The FBI began investigating New York Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson earlier this year after she published a story about how Kash Patel was using FBI personnel to provide his girlfriend with govt security and transportation. FBI agents interviewed Patel's girlfriend about Williamson, queried databases for info on the reporter and recommended moving forward to determine whether the reporter broke federal stalking laws. https://t.co/5TqbkghSyI
This should be a bigger story.
Scientists are more concerned than ever that a critical Atlantic current will collapse soon and wreak havoc on North America and Europe. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a massive conveyor belt of ocean currents that transports water from the tropics to the Atlantic.
Without it, severe weather would impact both regions at potentially devastating rates.
These scientists aren't just warning us about an environmental issue—they're sounding the alarm about a climate threat that could fundamentally rewrite how future generations survive on our planet.
