Martin Pollack 1944-2025. A friend, a guide, an example. One of the great Austrian writers of the last half century, a conceptualiser of the moral heritage of the Second World War, a human link to eastern Europe and populariser of Polish and Ukrainian literature. It might be a good time to read his "Dead Man in the Bunker."

In a new memo obtained by NBC News, Senate Finance Democratic tax staff found that Trump treasury pick Scott Bessent avoided over $950,000 of self-employment taxes.

In a review of Bessent’s tax returns from 2021, 2022, and 2023 and his financial disclosure form, the Committee found that Bessent avoided paying $950,182 of SECA taxes and SALT taxes. https://t.co/D4XItrtO82

Trump's inaugural fund is on track to rake in over $200M in donations by January 20th.

Some of the biggest donors are corporations facing federal investigations — including Amazon, Meta, and Goldman Sachs.

This is what legalized corruption looks like.

Memo to the bond market: the same Republicans who added $8 trillion in debt during Trump’s first term are not — and have never been — “serious about fiscal responsibility.”

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer so they can play partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than the bottom 30 states combined, most of them red,but they’ll never admit that.

SAY IT PLAIN: They want to punish California because they think it’s the leader of woke!

400,000 adolescents are in foster care system. Thousands are homeless all because heterosexual people created children and did a piss poor job as parents, and now heterosexual people are trying their damn best to stop LGBTQ from becoming foster & adoptive parents. Y'all are sick!

@chuerta1 Such losers.

1. Donald Trump is in the habit of accusing his enemies of pretty much anything, even eating dogs and cats, in order to draw attention away from his scam. In response, liberals and Democrats have developed a habit of their own.

[Dave Amirault @ozskier]

Today I learned that a group of cats is called a “clowder”.
So, here’s a clowder at THE @AltaSkiArea making sure that you’ve got fresh corduroy the next morning. 😻

Biden is handing Trump the strongest economy in the world (and it's not particularly close) along with an unmatched record of job growth that the media shit on for four years. A level of journalistic malpractice up there with pre-Iraq War WMD and Hillary's email.

[jfaure 🟧 @jfaure9]

@krassenstein @HC_Richardson It also sounds like when they cut the electricity to prevent down fire lines from igniting more fire, they cut the water pumps.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

For fact’s sake: There was NO $17 million cut to the Los Angeles Fire Department budget this year. In fact, there was a $50 million INCREASE in the Los Angeles Fire Department. Cold, hard facts. Full stop. Period.

To those who spread misinformation: issue corrections. Now.

1/5. The way Trump, Trump Jr, Tuberville, and Hannity are talking now about Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Canada plagiarizes Putin in 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine.

MAGA conspiracy theorist gets owned by Community Notes and the Auschwitz Museum for spreading lies that George Soros, who's Jewish, was a Nazi as a teenager.

THE TRUTH: History will remember President Joe Biden as one of the most consequential and effective presidents—the only leader from either party to defeat the wannabe authoritarian Donald Trump, standing as his complete opposite in character, vision, and results. 🇺🇸
