People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the President and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. This is adding to our national debt. If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should bring it to Congress to decide.

In effect, this means Trump and his family never have to pay taxes again. Quite literally. Curious how this agreement would stand up in court since it was an agreement Trump signed with himself.

If accurate, the deal being negotiated right now is very favorable to Iran. US unfreezing funds and exempting Iran from oil sanctions while negotiations proceed; recognizing Iran's right to enrich at low levels. The sticking points remain phasing (US wants a deal immediately, Iran wants one in phases), and the 400kgs of 60% uranium.

آمریکایی‌ها پس از دریافت نظراتِ ایران، پیشنهاد کرده‌اند که «پایانِ جنگ در تمامیِ جبهه‌ها»، «رفع محاصره تنگه هرمز توسط آمریکا»، «بازشدن تنگه هرمز توسط ایران با تعرفه و مسیر دریایی مدنظر ایران»، «آزادسازی ۲۵٪ از اموال بلوکه شده ایران _حدود ۲۵ میلیارد دلار»، «معافیتِ فروشِ نفت ایران به مدت ۳۰روز» و فازِ اصلیِ مذاکره یعنی «خروجِ ۴۰۰ کیلو اورانیوم از ایران _در بهترین حالت ارسال به کشور ثالث_» و «قبولِ حقِ غنی‌سازی ۳.۶۷ ٪ برای ایران (بعید است در فاز نهایی آمریکا آن را بپذیرد)» و «تعطیلی مراکز هسته‌ای _منهای راکتورِ تهران صرفا با کاربرد پزشکی) به طور یکجا توسط ایران امضا شود! ایران می‌گوید تمام فازهای پیشنهادی آمریکا برای راستی‌آزمایی به مدت ۳۰ روز انجام شود تا هم ایران نفت خود را بفروشد و هم‌مُجاب شود در بحث هسته‌ای مذاکره را انجام دهد! پی‌نوشت: ۱. اختلاف جدی بَر سَرِ مباحث هسته‌ای است؛ «۴۰۰ کیلو اورانیوم» خط قرمزِ دیکته‌ای اسرائیل برای آمریکاست! ایران ۴۰۰کیلو اورانیوم را نمی‌دهد، غنی‌سازی را هم حتما می‌خواهد و ۲۰ سال آن را تعلیق نمی‌کند. ایران با ارسال ۴۰۰ کیلو اورانیوم به کشور ثالث _چین و روسیه_ موافقت نکرده، آمریکا هم همینطور و خودش آن را می‌خواهد. نقطه‌ی جدی شکستِ توافق اینجاست. ایران مذاکره بر سر «پرونده‌ی هسته‌ای» را جُدای از «پرونده بازگشایی تنگه هرمز» و «اتمامِ جنگ» می‌داند! ۲. ایران و آمریکا سر فاز بندی توافق اختلاف دارند؛ ایران یکجا توافق نمی‌کند و آمریکا دنبالِ توافق یکجاست! ۳. آمریکا متعهد به متون و محورهای ارسالی نیست؛ محورهای ذکر شده با اینکه فاصله جدی با شروط ایران دارد ولی همین‌ها هم توسط آمریکا به مرحله اجرا در نمی‌آید! ۴. آمریکا تحریمی را لغو نمی‌کند؛ شاید تعلیقِ مدت‌دار در بهترین حالت، قسمتِ ایران در توافق شود. ۵. بر فرض توافق با آمریکا، هیچ تضمینی برای جلوگیری از ترور سطح بالا توسط اسرائیل نیست!

Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd. The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trump’s tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020. 405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked. Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison. On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid. He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it. The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

I said on @MSNOW just now: What *is* the Trump slush fund? It's not an appropriation: Congress did not vote. It's not a settlement: There was no valid litigation because (as the judge said) Trump was suing himself. On what basis is this money leaving the Treasury?

@DKThomp political debate and discussion based on logic/numbers/reasoning/thought is non-existant right now, but yea Defense budget should be cut materially just like Trump/Hegseth had promised but did 180 on weeks later (instead they RAISED!?)

Jeff Bezos: "Any corporate or Amazon CFO could find 3% (to cut) in Federal budget on a Tuesday afternoon" to fund zero taxes for bottom half/poor. "This is a skills issue" calling out administration and management incompetence in Federal government and local NYC city school system (He is also calling for higher wages for teachers while cutting outlandish admin budget)
tae kim@firstadopter

Holy crap. This interview. Too much logic and common sense. Jeff Bezos talking too much sense about housing supply/demand policy to fix high rents, zero taxes for poor. Bezos for President! Competence Party!

Trump took the Biden economy - the one The Economist referred to as "the envy of the world" but the media dumped on relentlessly for four years - and drove it right into the ditch without getting nearly the level of negativity Biden received in the press

Trump’s phony $1.8 billion settlement with DOJ and IRS is a giant fraud. That money belongs to US taxpayers and has not been appropriated for these purposes by Congress. Those involved in taking those funds—withdrawing them from the Treasury, transferring them, or accepting them, including financial institutions that facilitate any of these transactions—are on notice that they may be committing federal felonies. These crimes have a 5-yearyear statute of limitations. As President, Donald Trump may enjoy immunity for his crimes—courtesy of his MAGA-packed Supreme Court. But those who help him plunder public funds do not.

This letter is meaningless but lets Rs look like they're doing something. Unless they changed the Constitution, even if Congress passed a law blocking this "fund" Trump would veto it which would require 2/3 votes to override. Gotta sue and let the courts sort it out.
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman

🚨BREAKING — PA GOP REP. BRIAN FITZPATRICK writes to TODD BLANCHE with concerns about the DOJ “anti-weaponization fund” @RepBrianFitz is the first Republican to express this concern to DOJ. From his letter: “I am writing to you to express my urgent concern surrounding the announcement of a newly formed “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a plan to set up nearly $1.8 billion in funds to compensate victims of alleged lawfare. A massive discretionary fund, with no oversight or approval from Congress, represents a dangerous backsliding in the transparency of our institutions and our commitment to the American taxpayer.”

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense: using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of public trust the Framers feared most. Impeach now.

@heygurisingh This is wrong in several ways. Most laptop batteries use a coulomb counter and don’t just measure voltage. They do a complicated conversion including temperature. 20% per year is bs, batteries are way better then that. Under heavy use, maybe, but not idle.
