It is so terrible what Trump has done..

@CNN @mkraju I think everyone should submit a claim and override the system so that it get paralyzed and no payouts occur

DOJ announces creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by Biden administration. cnn.it/4deaJTq

@AdamKinzinger @AntiToxicPeople When will people wake the f up? What I want to know is if the irs is also suspending his 517mm double dip in 2008 and 2010 loss on an office building they’ve been investigating too. I bet they have but didn’t see that in the DOJ announcement. So pissed.

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

@JDVance Might want to look at the 1.7bb settlement

Billions of dollars of fraud already uncovered and we're just getting started. More to come.

@MikeLevin @CharlesWWagner1 He wants to have the IRS drop any ongoing audits of Trump, his family, or businesses. That is bs. He’ll ask for an apology and get that. The rest is a smoke screen.

If this report is true, this is an outrage. The Judgment Fund pays court judgments against the United States. It is not Donald Trump’s personal piggy bank. And that is exactly what he is turning it into. Look at the scheme. Trump sues his own IRS for $10 billion. Trump controls the IRS. The judge on the case is already asking whether the two sides are even on opposite sides. So Trump cuts a “settlement” with himself. He creates a five-person commission. He picks the members. He can fire them at will. They meet in secret. They keep the names secret. And they hand out $1.7 billion in taxpayer money to January 6 rioters and entities tied to Trump. It is illegal. Congress controls the purse, not the President. The Judgment Fund was never meant for political payoffs to the President’s friends. You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. And it fits a pattern. This same White House is already using the Judgment Fund to pay off companies to kill American wind projects. Congress needs to act. The power of the purse belongs to the Congress and the people. Not to one man and his friends. abcnews.com/US/trump-poise…

@danielsgoldman @EschewObfuse Does the bs settlement also include his various IRS audits? The most serious on is take a 517mm loss on an office in 2008 and then again in 2010? Can’t do that twice?

Real story: Judge was about to throw out the case bc Trump controls both parties. Before it’s dismissed, Trump tells both parties to reach a “settlement.” Settlement shields Trump from any future audit and creates a secret slush fund that can dole out money to anyone with no transparency. Mind-boggling corruption. @SpeakerJohnson - you may not know it, but your job is to conduct oversight of the admin. You can’t run away from this one.

@Mollyploofkins The same reason dogs lick themselves. We can. I do not approve of messing with them, by the way.

Why are we fucking with Cuba?

@Acyn Anyone see a pattern? No liquor on Canadian shelves, no oil movement for the world, etc.

Shaheen: How does insulting our closest ally and neighbor help the businesses in my state and states all across this country who are hurting because of the loss of Canadian business and tourism? Lutnick: Canada's economy leans on the incredible $30 trillion economy of America. Shaheen: We have all those Canadian visitors who are not coming because of your comments and comments by the administration. How does that help our economy? Lutnick: It is outrageous that Canada will not put U.S. Spirits on the shelf. Shaheen: And they won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours.

@RocknCliffordLe @Newsweek I suspect you’re still waiting on your Doge refund check?

@Newsweek So you are checking his stuff for grammar. Unhuh. But you have no interest in the actual story here? You know, the one where the Atlantic goes bankrupt for malicious defamation?

A defamation lawsuit filed by FBI Director Kash Patel contains multiple spelling errors, with several clear typos in the 19‑page complaint. #Echobox=1776775506" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/typos-fbi-dire…

@nerdypursuit Nothing would make me happier. I just want him to be in the game.

Sarah thinks Pete can win. ⬇️ Because he's doing the work. He's going everywhere. (Just a side note: The way Sarah says "okay" in this clip... We are on the same page. 😅)

@RepJackKimble lol

About the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

@billmaher And when quantum computing is reliably available, it gets worse.

I thought about doing this without any jokes, something I've never done here in 23 years, to impress upon people how much different I feel this issue is from any I have ever covered.

@David_J_Bier Trump says lots of “things” but I support this concept as someone that owns and operates a small farming operation. These people are like family and it freaks me out that they are being targeted and deported. They have US born children, pay taxes, receive 0 benefits, etc.

Stop citing Trump for mass deportations. Trump himself doesn't want them:

@Timodc @anneapplebaum Great discussion.

Today’s pod: @anneapplebaum! On the Hungarian election and whether reality can finally break thru against Orban’s alt universe propaganda. Plus Trumps object permanence problem, the end of madman theory, Kari Lake is losing again & book club! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@RepJackKimble Not certain Mark ever played on SD tunes because he doesn’t do “Money for Nothing”.

@AnthonyCinquini Firing might be a bit harsh but how can you have Mark Knopfler and only use 15 seconds of his playing.

Donald Trump is the Steely Dan of Presidents and this term is his Goucho.

@David_J_Bier I so much want this act to gain traction to pass. I suspect more than 60% of Americans would support this as written. It’s not perfect but I know several families this would help.

Hm.

@PaulleyTicks Exactly. I have tapes is bs. Here’s the tape is the chefs kiss.

Alright look, I'm sympathetic to what happened to her, but how many more times do I have to see the headline that she "has tapes" and not the headline saying she's "released the TAPES"?!

@theliamnissan I’m not looking forward to the decline of civilization and the time it takes to get our shit together. But you’re correct.

Look, artificial intelligence has absolutely wrecked social media by producing an unlimited supply of brain-rotting MAGA horseshit, but the technology also has the potential to fix medical problems that have been plaguing mankind for millenia. I remain hopeful for planet earth

@ChadBianco History is not going to treat your shenanigans kindly. And your headlines are just to confuse the gullible. You don’t believe this bs and if you do, remove the uniform.

BREAKING: Attorney General Rob Bonta just filed an emergency writ with the court of appeals to stop ballots from being counted. For those not aware, we are investigating a reported discrepancy of 45,000 votes.

@David_J_Bier it is heartbreaking...i am personally assisting with a family in this exact situation...20 years in US...one kid is 6 and the other is 15...

What a nation does to its own children.
