🧵3/3 Unbelievably Brazen Theft of Taxpayer $

"... Mr. Trump essentially freed his hand to reach a deal with administration officials without any judicial oversight." https://twp.ai/E5BsuM

So freaking illegal. There was literally no one representing the American people.

#DOJ announces a $1.7B fund to compensate #Trump allies in a deal to drop #IRS suit

The Trump admin on Monday announced the creation a $1.7 billion #MAGASlushFund to compensate allies of Trump who believe they were “mistreated” by the #Biden admin.

The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” was announced by the DOJ as part of a “deal” to “resolve” Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS.

⬆️ Come on, @RollingStone @politics-news- [email protected]

Do better with your headlines.

#Trump agrees to settle his suit against #IRS in exchange for $1.776 Billion of our taxpayer money to pay out to #Jan6 coupists and rioters who sought to invalidate our votes to keep Trump in office illegally.

What a disgrace!

>> #TradDems fully embraced neoliberal myths re market, free trade, … crime… laid the foundation for 2008 crash… #Biden getting #ClarenceThomas onto #SCOTUS … #insurance companies… role in #healthcare… voted D in every election … because #GOP was worse. But the tradDems created fertile ground for #MAGA and their … wealthy enablers.

NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty

They want you to pay up front in order for them to earn your trust.

There will be NO trust in #journalism for at least a generation, and the #media and #journalists have only themselves to blame.

Even when the trust returns, I have no intention of subscribing with my money when they stalk, surveil, and exploit paid subscribers the same as non-paying visitors. #paywall

⬆️ Hot on the heels of #Trump's high-profile trip to Beijing, #Putin plans to visit to #China to deepen strategic ties with #Xi.

#Russia and China are partners-in-crime, with Russia being the #juniorPartner. They will discuss strengthening their partnership and address key global issues.

They're both supporting each other’s #expansionism and will sign a joint declaration, probably Russia permanently expanding its #bufferZone in #Ukraine.
