@RandPaul What widely accepted scientific data supports your claim that infection was the best protection? It’s alarming that you make this statement as a doctor.
@KenPaxtonTX In your video, you announce yourself as Ken Paxton, EX attorney general. I wish that was the case, but do you not even know you’re currently the attorney general of Texas? 🤣
The Treasury Department's top tax official just got fired for one reason: he warned the White House they were about to break the law.
Section 7217 of the IRS Code says the president can’t request that the IRS audit or investigate anyone. It’s been law since Watergate.
Kenneth Kies, the Treasury’s assistant secretary and acting IRS chief counsel, told White House officials a proposed request would violate it.
And what did they do? They forced him out.
You don't fire the lawyer enforcing the law unless you plan to break it.

Trump just dropped the charges against another crypto scammer behind a $722 MILLION Ponzi scheme.
This guy was guilty as fuck, and the case was about to go to trial. But I guess he put enough money in Trump’s pocket to stay out of jail.
Not surprising. Still infuriating.
@GregAbbott_TX@AaronTorres_ Then Congress and the states should amend the Constitution if you believe that. Today’s decision was a correct interpretation of the constitution.
@RepRaskin Actually not just Barrett but Kavanaugh as well. It was a 6-3 decision. Kavanaugh concurred with the judgement but dissented on part of the opinion.
BREAKING: Bombshell new reporting from CNBC reveals that Trump bought millions in Axon stock just two weeks before ICE sought a $220,000,000 deal to buy tasers from Axon.
This raises serious questions about insider trading as Trump continues to profit off of the presidency.
Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer https://t.co/7l2bkD0MIH
From the Navy SEAL officer who planned and executed the Bin Laden raid: “In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation. I have personally worked with most of them in combat….And this week, in an egregious decision, the president forced General Chris Donahue to step down from his position in command of U.S. Army Europe. Donahue is without question one of the most brilliant officers I know. He is strategically focused, tactically aggressive, personally courageous, exceptionally thoughtful in his planning and execution, and compassionate with his troops. He has the respect of every man and woman who ever served with him—and you can put me at the top of that list.”
Admiral (ret.) William H. McRaven: "In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation."

JD Vance works for the most corrupt president in American history. So of course he wants you to believe Watergate was nothing.
Vance joked that if Watergate happened today it would be a “12 hour news story.” Let’s remember what Nixon actually did.
Operatives tied to his reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to plant listening devices. Then Nixon personally orchestrated the cover up. The “smoking gun” tape caught him ordering the CIA to shut down the FBI’s investigation.
That is obstruction of justice, in his own voice, on tape.
The House Judiciary Committee identified 36 separate instances of obstruction. It approved three articles of impeachment, with Republicans joining Democrats.
Nixon weaponized the IRS and FBI against his political enemies, authorized burglaries of private citizens, and fired the special prosecutor investigating him in what is called the Saturday Night Massacre. When the Supreme Court ordered him to release the tapes, the vote was unanimous. Even his most loyal defenders walked away once they heard his own words.
Vance is telling us a president can break the law, lie about it, and turn federal agencies into weapons, and we should all just go along with it.
There is a reason he wants the bar that low. When you serve an administration this corrupt, the only way to look clean is to convince the public that crimes no longer count.
He’s wrong. They did then, and they do now.
History will not be kind to JD Vance.
