As someone who has been a part of many on-air breakdowns, this is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. No notes, it’s perfect.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

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?

[ABC4 News @abc4utah]

ABC4 sent a reporter to cover a potential boycott of a plant nursery in Layton due to the owner's position on the MIDA board spearheading the Box Elder County data center. The owner, also a Utah lawmaker, approached ABC4's crew, and police became involved.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

@cspan notice how he assumes that the pope would be against border control? telling

🔥 @RepRoKhanna to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

[Cosmos Archive @cosmosarcive]

Professor Brian Cox explains using a simple light clock, time is not absolute. Because the speed of light remains constant, a light beam in a moving clock traces a longer, diagonal path from an outside observer's perspective, proving that moving clocks run slower and time literally bends to the speed of the observer.

This reveals a mind-bending reality: if you journeyed through space at 99.94% the speed of light for ten years, you would return to an Earth that had aged 29 years; making you a literal time traveler into the future.

@BillSimmons one word: relegation

Arizona’s path to the Final Four:

🏀 16-seed Long Island - 34-point win
🏀 9-seed Utah State - 12-point win
🏀 4-seed Arkansas - 21-point win
🏀 2-seed Purdue - 15-point win

The Aggies put up the best fight (so far)

@TrooperBenKs @jamestalarico Love this. Felt the same as you. Ya know, it’s this stupid platform. It has some great posted content like yours, but then you wander into the comment section and lose faith in humanity.

@RepBlakeMoore @HouseBudgetGOP This is a bold idea and I like it from a pragmatic perspective. But we have no reason to believe Congress could actually pass a full budget. Y’all can’t even fund TSA without trying to give ICE more money, even though it is already excessively funded over the next two years
