The real value of Trump’s IRS settlement may not be the 1.8 billion dollar fund. It may be the reported release from IRS violations involving Trump and his family. That starts looking less like a settlement and more like protection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g

An “ineptly worded” subpoena is not a small issue. That is the issue. If the wording is flawed, the risk of overreach is real. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO6bGdipHg #CivilLiberties #FirstAmendment
The First Amendment is not optional. Strict scrutiny exists for a reason. The government must prove its actions are constitutional. That did not happen here. The court got it wrong and when that standard slips, rights go with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NshihU9S0fs
The McDade Amendment exists to ensure DOJ attorneys follow the same ethics rules as everyone else. If DOJ leadership starts controlling ethics complaints against its own lawyers, independent oversight stops being independent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g
DOJ lawyers should not get a separate set of ethics rules just because they work for the government. When state bar agencies are pressured for trying to enforce accountability and a massive DOJ-controlled fund operates with no transparency, the rule of law starts to look dangerously selective.
A senior DOJ official signed the motion to drop the Trump law firm appeals. Then the same official reversed course and kept the appeals alive. Same signature. Opposite decisions. That is not normal DOJ practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTPad7aEHpQ
What Al Franken was accused of was serious and widely condemned. But the timeline still raises questions. Three weeks from allegations to resignation. Pressure built fast, including from leaders like Chuck Schumer. When does accountability become urgency? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YakvGBwnCws
The Supreme Court says its decisions are subject to scrutiny. What does that actually mean when there is no real enforcement and no oversight? There is a difference between personal attacks and holding the Court accountable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTx8Uh9SJMw
FBI interviewed a survivor multiple times after she accused Trump of abuse at age 13. Those interviews exist in the Epstein files. So why did the DOJ do nothing, and why were key records kept out of public view? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsORTLGZ2OY
Markwayne Mullin was asked if political violence should be taken seriously. Instead of giving a clear answer, he pointed to “dueling” and past violence in the Senate. That is not a real answer. And this is someone being considered to lead DHS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LTF3aQID0
A shove can kill. Vicha Ratanapakdee was 84. He was pushed to the ground and died from the impact. Markwayne Mullin downplays violence. That is the problem. And this is the mindset being considered for DHS leadership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LTF3aQID0

It's a huge problem to live on $174,000.00 a year and get free food, medical and a housing allowance. It must be difficult. You obviously have a house in your district. And you get a housing allowance. Insider trading is illegal. Stop making excuses. #USDemocracy
There’s more than one way to say “Iran.” And according to linguists, those differences can carry meaning, from political identity to how closely a speaker aligns with native pronunciation.
This indie developer is making a title inspired by the PS1/GBA/DS era of Castlevania games, so I guess "Metroidvania" wouldn't exactly be the right thing to call it, right? It's called Magnavale: Eternal Soul, will you play this?
Stephen A Smith sexually harassed Chiney Ogwumike on air, and when Coach Jackie made a video about it, Shaq (yes, Shaquille O’Neal) wrote a rude and condescending comment on Jackie’s video. As a sexual harassment researcher who studied French and grew up watching Shaq, I had to weigh in.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened expanded control of Gaza. To translate the statement from the war criminal: "Today we control 60% of Gaza, tomorrow we'll see."
Top military officials kept Trump out of the situation room during the rescue of downed soldiers bc of his erratic behavior. This is more proof that he isn’t fit to be president and is a threat to national security. This needs to be top news.

There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely.
