A portrait of an IRS that has been made helpless to collect taxes owed by the very rich, no matter how blatantly and shamelessly they cheat. Super reporting here by the NY Times and @ProPublica.

(Case study starring a grifter who has never earned an honest dollar in his life.)

13/ [Parloff had citations throughout that I’m not including]:

We had a starker example back in Nov 2023. Trump asked Cannon to put off the SDFla trial because of the DC trial date, while failing to tell her that, later that same evening, he was filing a motion in DC to stay the DC case entirely. Govt brought it to her attn.

On NPR this evening, they had on one of the Biden campaign officials so of course tried to get him to say something that they could make go viral about Gaza and/or Israel.

I loved the advisor's answer on the issue. No, the campus protests are not impacting his decision making on military matters. He's running on his record as commander-in-chief. Joe Biden cares too much about the USA and her allies to do anything other than to follow his instincts and advice from his national security experts.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The Pentagon and SpaceX blocked Russians' access to Starlink in Ukraine

The occupiers received unauthorized access to satellite systems from Elon Musk's company.

COUPLE OF POINTS...
- If Musk shut it down, he could have done it day 1, but didn't.

- I'm sure the Pentagon held a gun to Musk's head to get him to block Russian access.

- I hope the Pentagon stays on top of Musk's Russian blockage!

A few reminders about Trump's NY Trial:

1) It's not simply about him trying to cover up alleged affairs

2) It's about him allegedly orchestrating an illegal scheme to deprive voters of information

3) He was indicted by a grand jury made up of ordinary citizens, not Biden

I think it’s mean to refer to someone who has passed as “the late,” how can they be expected to be on time, they’re dead.

A Ukr military source told Reuters that Rus forces hoped to push Ukr forces back up to 10 km, and had been able to breach the border by 1 km today.

The governor of #Kharkiv has reported wounded and dead, especially around the city of Vovchansk. Civilians are now being evacuated.

@AlliFlowers @tomiahonen if and when he is finally jailed, and I hope he is jailed while waiting on appeal, and no damn house arrest nonsense, it will finally make it clear that a guy who has done so many casual crimes can not run for or serve as president. Then I expect other judges will finally get their act together and get moving on his other trials. They are cowards right now, worried about their careers, but cowards will dogpile on a known loser.

Max security, "for his protection".

2/ MacFarlane:

Peter Navarro's new motion (more): "On a more personal note, defense counsel has been denied the request to visit Dr. Navarro unless they agree to do so on the weekend. Pertinent to the instant motion, upon information and belief, Dr. Navarro is the only prisoner at his facility serving a misdemeanor sentence and the only prisoner not now eligible for early release under the First Step Act of 2018"

why are you always late for work??

#Caturday

#Merchan even criticized specific lines of defense’s cross-examination, chiding #Necheles in particular for leaning into the most awkward & uncomfortable parts of #StormyDaniels's testimony w/her questions in a way that he says he simply didn't understand.

[remember, the jury isn’t there]

After insisting to the defense that he barred certain details "to protect your client," Justice Merchan says, "I disagree w/your narrative that there's any new account here."

My favorite words today.

Strength
Impressive

She was sharp on that stand today.

🇮🇱 Good luck! 🇮🇱 בהצלחה /be-hats-la-'khah/ 💙🤍

So proud of you, Eden, and of the entire Israeli team - going through hardship that no other team has to endure.

You are incredibly strong, beautiful, and brave.

The song, titled Hurricane, expresses the emotional aftermath we are all going through since Oct of last year.

Good luck! And come back home safely.
