This is an important victory for the basic tax privacy of everyone

For years the IRS said tax filing data would not be used for immigration enforcement. Then it betrayed all that, en mass, earlier this year.

This ruling blocks these data betrayals

Judge Blocks IRS’s Data-Sharing Agreement With ICE A federal court finds the agency acted unlawfully by turning over taxpayer information to immigration officials.

The IRS acted unlawfully when it turned over tens of thousands of taxpayers’ addresses to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal judge found Friday, in a ruling that also limited immigration authorities’ ability to use the information.

I can't confirm, but it sure looks like LBJ in 1964 was the last Democrat to win a majority of white voters. And 1964 was a landscape-redefining landslide. White voters polling with a Democratic majority is less a five-alarm fire for the GOP and more the party already being a burned-out shell.

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

xAI is currently in talks to raise $15 billion at a $230 billion valuation.

The flagship product is self-identified "MechaHitler" chatbot with training so warped it describes Elon Musk as more physically fit than LeBron James. It is powered by gas turbines poisoning South Memphis.

the implicit standard of "criminality" is doing a lot of work here, mostly as a desperate appeal to avoid thinking (not grading any of your students' exams is not criminal behavior either but you can very quickly see how that might nevertheless put a professor's employment in jeopardy)

I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

imagine any other US president in american history calling the american people a bunch of unemployed, uneducated, ignorant boobs who don't even know what a computer chip is, and insisting that they'll need to be educated by the taiwanese to work in US-based, taiwanese-owned factories

the american low trust voter yearns for Peronist economics

When Democrats take the House, they should pass a bill requiring ALL states to use an independent commission to draw congressional districts, beginning with the 2030 census. That would give every state time to appoint a commission and get things in place prior to 2030

That's the right thing to do

No, the neo-Nazism of young Republican staffers is not driven by economic anxiety

Zohran Mamdani has a higher favorability rating than Donald Trump, JD Vance or Chuck Schumer. The most popular political figures in America are Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

This is the most normal things will be for the rest of your life

it's starting to become widely acknowledged that these people are weirdos and losers

exactly. it's surrender to the idea that your company is fake and only exists to manufacture shareholder value as opposed to delivering goods and services

agreed. ai is just a symptom of a broader not giving a fuck

I know everyone is saying AI is doing this but I think it's the entire economy sucking shit that's doing this and they're just using AI as an excuse.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The White House is objectively and demonstrably pro-sex trafficking

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

so unless you are going to just flat out resign, only an idiot wouldn't choose collaboration. the side that is currently in power is exerting pressure on you, the side that will come into power won't

this is not a judgement about character, its a simple mechanical process. "if i don't do it, X will punish me. but if i do it, X and Y both won't punish me"

the career people are helping the administration because they believe the administration will punish them if they don't and the democrats will be lenient

i understand the prosecutor's concern but no retaliation means this will happen again
