EXCLUSIVE: City nixes property tax break for Trump’s NYC apartment New York City has nixed a $48,000 tax break President Trump was set to receive on his Trump Tower condo following inquiries from the Daily News about whether he is still eligible for the savings. O…

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

trump was prosecuted for real crimes and now he's punishing the people who prosecuted him with fake crimes

I *really* want more reporting on this because the book was pretty heavily vetted by lawyers in advance of publication….

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Throw enough people under the bus and the bus doesn't fucking move for anyone.

Also it's fucking evil.

Stand up for EVERYONE, friends, and demand politicians do the same.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Not happening somewhere else. Here. In America. Right now.

The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Text of the fourth amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

Ah yes, 3000 years ago, in 975 BC, when Muslims and Jewish people first started fighting over Israel.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

They left a 67-year-old man ziptied on the sidewalk for HOURS.

Abolition of ICE is not enough.

bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Angee Doerr and I've done Angee Booooer in the past but surely there's something better.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Trump to attend gathering of top generals, upending last-minute plans President Donald Trump will attend the gathering of hundreds of generals summoned to Virginia on short notice by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, adding new security concerns.

Top military commanders, SecDef, POTUS, all in one well publicized place at one well publicized time, this seems super safe and well thought out.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals."

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Even if Democrats were insisting that they wouldn’t fund the government unless Trump personally underwent gender reassignment surgery on live TV, that doesn’t change the fact that Republicans run the entire goddamn government.

This is 100% on them.

Immigrants with no criminal record now largest group in Ice detention Government data shows 16,523 people with no record, versus 15,725 with a record and 13,767 with pending charges

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

New details emerge on Hegseth’s unusual mass gathering of top brass Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals for what is expected to be a short lecture on the “warrior ethos.” But top brass is bracing for possible firings or demotions.

"The timing of the event has been of particular concern: The speech is set for Sept. 30, the last day of the fiscal year. If there is a government shutdown, it could leave key staff stranded in Virginia as military commands across the globe are juggling...security implications"

ICE agents point guns at bystanders during violent arrest in Maryland “What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yelled. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”

"At one point you can hear the man on the ground yell 'I live in America! I love you America!' ... When one witness asks why the man was arrested, the officer shouts 'Because he’s a criminal, how bout that?' He justifies his actions by telling witnesses 'I have to protect my people.'”
