Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.
ICE investigators were supposed to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti.
Instead, they investigated Alex. Not his killers.
With FBI now leading this probe, I’m calling on Kristi Noem and Kash Patel:
Remove all ICE agents from this investigation completely.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.
I have been arguing since the great anti Muslim panic under Bush that conservatives are fucking weak ass fuckers. They’re goddamned scared of EVERYTHING. Muslims. Black people. Women. Drag queens. I’ve never seen a more scared ass group in my life. They’re fucking scared of WHISTLES.
A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.
Warning: Reports indicate immigration checkpoints along major interstates in Oklahoma, with Interstate 40 most impacted.
All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.
All across the country, we want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who showed up, organized, and stood together in the streets Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles,
A win! A judge in Oregon ruled that the Trump administration may not withhold emergency preparedness funding from states that declined to submit updated population counts accounting for deportations, because population estimates are the responsibility of the U.S. Census Bureau; not the states.

If you wanted to see the Inside CECOT segment from 60 Minutes, it aired in Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you, Canada, for sharing! 💚
Let’s be real, the DOJ isn’t going to prosecute itself. That’s why Congress is talking about using its own authority to step in using its own constitutional powers to enforce accountability.
Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
Call your reps and tell them we don’t want to go to war with Venezuela!
👏 👏 👏
Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.
#NoWords 🤮

A grand jury has declined to re-indict Letitia James. 👏
The Nodfather.
A win! A federal appeals court ruled that Alina Habba had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.
The Defense Department opened an investigation into Senator Mark Kelly (a former Navy captain and astronaut) after he appeared in a video urging service members to reject unlawful commands.
Good news! Judge James E. Boasberg just issued a serious warning to the Justice Department, signaling that he may open a formal contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated his order to stop deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador back in March.
An interesting observation from @ausconservation.bsky.social’s CEO on whether a regulator OR a politician should be the ultimate environmental approval decision maker - “it’s much harder to make a donation to a regulator than it is to make a donation to a politician”. #environment #auspol
