The most brazen thefts of public funds that has ever occurred, just happened.

President Donald #Trump has secured a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" in exchange for dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the #IRS.

The settlement, announced by the #DOJ, establishes a fund to compensate individuals who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration's legal system, including January 6 insurrectionists and Trump allies.

Thats right y’all, the Jan6ers, Proud Boys, KKK and the rest, just got almost 2 Billion dollars to rebuild their militias.

This takes #kakistocracy to a whole new level of corruption.

> People love to act shocked after people are killed, but the rhetoric came first. The dehumanization came first. The racist fearmongering came first.

It took Republicans:
•40 years but they gutted the EPA
•50 years but they repealed Roe v Wad
•60 years but they gutted the VRA

All three are wildly popular policies with the American people. Republicans don't care. Gutted them anyway. Point is, any Democrat running for office for anything short of revolutionary change to the status quo should just stay home. We need a political revolution, not centrist cowardice.

@jeffjarvis *Still* nobody has succeeded in explaining to me in a way I can understand how "banned book" can even be a concept in the land of the first amendment.
Donald Trump is expected to drop his lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration. American families are drowning in the costs of a global war while the president cuts checks for his inner circle. He told the world that your financial survival is not on his radar. He is proving it now by liquidating the treasury to reward his loyalists.

"The #MAGA party is the last breath of the #confederacy and I’ll be happy to see #Millennials and #GenZ bury you all"

Do you like what he's saying?

Then you need to fucking #vote

Whining about perfection isn't going to cut it

(ps: his hat says " #Trump was wrong about everything")

AI and capitalism. It’s a dangerous recipe.

BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.

This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!
