You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!
The January 6th Slush Fund is in trouble. But audit immunity, the part that actually protects Trump personally, is sailing right through.
That part of the deal that permanently shields him, his family, and his businesses from any IRS audit. Whatever happens to the Slush Fund apparently is separate.
The New York Times estimated the deal could wipe out a $100 million IRS penalty tied to a refund Trump claimed back around 2010.
So put it all together.
Trump sued the IRS. Then Trump’s own Justice Department, run by Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, settled the case by handing Trump a “forever” pass on the audits everyone else can’t escape.
And it slams straight into the law. The IRS has audited every president yearly since 1977, after Nixon. Federal law makes it illegal for a president to tell the IRS to start or stop an audit.
The corrupt audit immunity deal must be stopped. Trump and his family must be treated like all other taxpayers.

Statement of Scott Pelley:
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58th season, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
"60" has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Damning truth telling from an absolute legend.

They voted 82% to form a union.
They negotiated their first contract.
They ratified it just weeks ago.
Now a national anti-union group is trying to break up that union.
Something’s not right about that

The bill would create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency market structure. Sounds reasonable. But strip away the technical language, and you’re left with an uncomfortable truth: Without strong ethics provisions, this bill is simply a gift to Donald Trump and his family.
The White House is pushing for passage of the Clarity Act by July 4th, saying it would be “a tremendous birthday present for America.” But is that true?
The dissenting justices said the state legislature's actions:
*make "a mockery" of the electoral process;
*imply that the legislature can simply "nullify" election results; and
