@MisfitPilled @chekichbitch Condoms much?

@chekichbitch No, it’s mostly just worrying about STDs, Unplanned pregnancies, and angry women who thought it was something more. Lots of stress, pain, regret, and burned bridges.

I have male friends who have a lot of casual sex, and the experience is not really what it’s cracked up to be

@xtrmlygoodlooks @cjdelgross Tha capitol police were the ones defending the building while being attacked by rioters. What’s your point?

@cjdelgross The capitol police report to the sergeant of arms. The sergeant of arms reports to the speaker of the house. Nancy gave the stand down order. That’s civics 101.

The theory that Nancy Pelosi "staged" J6 relies entirely on a complete misunderstanding of civics and classic logical fallacies. First, it relies on a false authority claim: the Speaker of the House does not command the military, meaning Pelosi had zero power to deny or deploy the D.C. National Guard, only the President holds that authority. The real timeline shows it was Donald Trump who hesitated for hours to deploy the Guard while watching the violence unfold on television. Second, it relies on cherry-picked evidence: critics use unedited video of her saying "I take responsibility" as a "smoking gun" admission, completely ignoring the context of the footage where she was venting leadership frustration over massive intelligence failures across federal agencies that underestimated the threat prior to J6, while frantically calling governors to beg for backup. Finally, the motive makes zero logical sense: rioters actively ransacked her office and shouted threats while hunting her down. Staging a violent siege that put her own life in danger and delayed a democratic certification her own party desperately wanted defies basic human reasoning. Believing this myth requires ignoring official military timelines, basic civics, and hours of raw video evidence just to shift blame away from the actual perpetrators. Facts matter.

@dds_119 @tombogert With all due respect, I think that’s a cop out. If the system is broken, in a democracy it’s incumbent upon the citizenry to speak out. It’s not just about those in a position to make change.

@ManRenaisance @tombogert There is a lot to be upset about. I can affirm that. System is not perfect, it just is what it is. You have to either put yourself in position to actually make real changes…or play the game in whatever way makes sense to you.

We, as a society, desperately need to make “tickets cannot be scalped or resold” the norm. Or tickets resold with a strict cap on upsell. It’s gotten absolutely insane.

@dds_119 @tombogert Because the system is rigged. Platforms (esp Ticketmaster) facilitate early bulk purchases before tickets go public. They do that because they make their fee on the bulk buy and again on the (massively inflated) resale. It’s virtually a monopoly. That’s not free market.

@tombogert This is a really stupid take. In a free market, why are you so against anyone legally and freely engaging in buy-resell business practices? Are you equally as outraged by people going into thrift stores to buy-resell clothing?

@schmidlein85 @JeramyKitchen Like the author said, tribal loyalty Trumps

@JeramyKitchen He voted with democrats 1/4 this past year, more than any other republican. Thats why he lost not some weird fentish fanfiction you write about him

@Shellig65 @RonFilipkowski Ther is no “settlement”. Nothing about this went through the court. Trump agreed with himself to pay the money. Like the “Board of Peace” just a totally corrupt con job to steal taxpayer money. Sad!

@RonFilipkowski Nah he won that settlement. He can do what he wants with it. Taking care of an injustice against the American citizens of this country! Thats our President!

You will be paying her with your tax dollars. Brought to you by the Republican Party.

@emtfr @micyoung75 @DAGToddBlanche THIS!!!

@micyoung75 Correction! There WAS no "settlement"-it never existed! Case dismissed with prejudice (unrevivable)-no settlement of record -it's paper containing a @DAGToddBlanche fanciful Congressional Appropriations wish list to extort taxpayers for criminal purposes x.com/KlasfeldReport…

The addendum was not in Monday's settlement. Signed only by Blanche. No IRS representative signature. No Trump lawyer signature. The original settlement was signed by Woodward, IRS CEO Bisignano, and Trump attorney Daniel Epstein - Blanche wasn't on it. A different set of signatories, one person, posted to the DOJ website at 7:50 AM Tuesday. When Woodward left his press conference defending the settlement this afternoon, he did not respond to questions about the addendum. This is not a settlement of a lawsuit about a tax return leak. A one-page document added quietly the next morning made it a permanent waiver of all IRS examination authority over Trump, his family, his companies, and his trusts - with a single signature and no IRS buy-in documented.

@Helenasgallery @mitchjackson Because it’s not a legal settlement. It didn’t go through or get approved in any court of law

@mitchjackson Fun fact the settlement does not have trump’s signature or the IRS chief counsel as required by law

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.

@mbilipatric @MaxEpstein5 @EdWhelanEPPC Kathleen Williams

@MaxEpstein5 @EdWhelanEPPC Which judge is that?

Baffling Sentence in Trump/IRS Settlement The settlement agreement between Donald Trump and the IRS states (in section IV.A): "The corpus of The Anti-Weaponization Fund’s funding [i.e., the $1.776 billion dollars set forth in Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s order] does not represent the value of any current claim by Plaintiffs [Donald Trump et al.], but rather is based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims, and accordingly the corpus of The Anti-Weaponization Fund’s funding is not taxable income as to plaintiffs, who receive no economic benefit from this Settlement Agreement." I find this sentence baffling in two respects: 1. The settlement’s declaration that the settlement amount “does not represent the value of any current claim” by Trump and the other Trump plaintiffs (Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization) sure seems like an admission that the settlement is collusive and in bad faith. 2. Why does the settlement assert that the funding amount “is not taxable income as to plaintiffs”? I’m no tax expert, but it’s not at all clear to me that this assertion is correct. The ordinary rule, as I understand it (and I’m happy to be corrected), is that you don’t avoid having a settlement payment treated as taxable income by redirecting it to a third party. Nor is it evident why basing the funding on something other than the value of plaintiffs’ claim would affect its taxability. (The word “accordingly” marks the passage as a non sequitur.) The evident purpose of including this provision is to attempt to foreclose the IRS from treating the funding amount as taxable, even if established principles of law render it taxable. That, I gather, is why the settlement agreement bears not only the signature of the Associate Attorney General (which would suffice to bind the United States, if the agreement is otherwise lawful) but also the signature of Frank J. Bisignano in his capacity as the IRS’s chief executive officer. Whether this seemingly collusive agreement would bind a later Administration on this point is a different matter.

@Dominus3033 @kaitlancollins So the rioters that joined in with them are “innocent”? What about personal responsibility?

@kaitlancollins Probably because we just found out there were 26 “police officers” amongst the agitators.. let’s not rule anything out at this point

You previously told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on January 6th should go to prison. So why not rule out giving them taxpayer funded money? Vance: "Well, Kaitlan, what I said is we're going to look at everything case by case..." Why not rule it out? Vance: "Because, Kaitlan, there are people who I don't know their individual circumstances and I don't rule things out categorically when I know nothing about a person's individual circumstances..."

@sbrandes @KingxGwap @RapidResponse47 The biggest fig leaf ever. Straight up corruption

**Elon Musk did not directly pay people to vote.** Instead, his political action committee, America PAC, gave $1 million checks to registered voters who signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. While Musk initially advertised the money as a random daily sweepstakes for petition signers, his lawyers later clarified in a Pennsylvania court that the winners were not chosen by chance. Instead, they were vetted and selected to be paid, contractual spokespeople for the pro-Trump group. Because federal law prohibits paying individuals to vote or register to vote, the initiative was structured around signing a constitutional petition rather than casting a ballot. Courts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ultimately allowed the targeted giveaways to proceed, ruling that prosecutors failed to prove the initiative violated state lottery or election laws.

@AZinCLE @mak3333 @mattconvente Right wing “culture war” issues. It’s either racism or manufactured outrage.

@mak3333 @mattconvente They're voting Trump for culture war issues. Trump's actual policies are the same anti-labor Republican policies of the last 40 years - right to work, OSHA cuts, nearly eliminating wage theft enforcement

@AndrewDahDude @cmclymer Every accusation is a confession

@cmclymer Colorado tried to kick a major candidate off the ballot for no reason, and you were fine with that. There isn't a single Democrat alive who gives two shits about democracy, they just want more political power. Every single one.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

@SocraticNomad @TheFP

@TheFP I read the article. Why does the title blame MAHA when the article has little to do with MAHA? It blames Facebook posts and famous personalities. The title is too idiotic to be accidental, so the question is why is The Free Press targeting MAHA?

All it took was two Facebook posts to turn an online mob against Apeel Sciences and its booming business of keeping food fresh longer, writes Laurie P. Cohen. thefp.com/p/this-company…

@StacyGallina @micah_erfan Republicans promote their’s to Governor and US Senate. The biggest Medicare fraud in history. He should obviously be in jail.

@micah_erfan Ohio is a purple state. Look at Minnesota & California. There are many others. But, it's not a party issue. What makes Ds worse, is they make laws against fraud investigations. capitalisminstitute.org/minnesota-demo…

Your party has controlled Ohio for 30 years.

@Swamp_Sagacity @NormEisen @MSNOWNews

@NormEisen @MSNOWNews Florida’s law does not ban partisan results in district maps. Stop lying.

DeSantis took Trump's cue: don't care what the law says..Ram it through FL's own constitution bans partisan gerrymandering Our coalition went to court to STOP the illegal gerrymander gutting congressional & state races More on our fight for your vote👇 @MSNOWNews -TN

@full_spectr0m2 @NormEisen @MSNOWNews

@NormEisen @MSNOWNews Florida's law bans it. Not their constitution. Idk if youre trying to conflate constitutional violations with legal ones to make the Virginia situation look similar.
