Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the IRS.

Longer call wait times and more wealthy tax cheats. It’s the story of the Trump Administration: Billionaires win, families lose.

Just a reminder that our soon-to-be Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has been a member of a bizarre pseudo-Hindu anti-LGBTQ cult since childhood, and remains active in it today. Thread 1/11

College freshman today were 6 years old in the 2012 election.
A student of mine (age 20) told me after class that he appreciates when I explain how US politics and media were different before, because the Trump era is all he’s seen.
This is what young Americans think politics is. It’s normal now.

I think that folks aren't seriously thinking about the implications of young adults who know nothing other than a country which has normalized MAGA politics, God help us all.

What a strange headline for a story that notes:
1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID.
2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats."
3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent."
4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.

If you're following the international coverage it's clear that the US was critical in setting this up—as in, Israeli politicians are almost universally thanking Biden specifically for it—but I've barely seen this aspect covered in the US press (which is odd given they're usually way too US centric).

Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit: Beim Verlassen der AfD-Versammlung wurde der Reporter erst beschimpft, dann geschlagen und ihm die Kopfbedeckung abgezogen. Als er kurze Zeit später in sein Auto stieg und losfahren wollte, bemerkte er in allen vier Reifen Schrauben, die bis zum Kopf versenkt waren.

This week was the most unhinged week Republicans have had in Congress for a while, which is saying something: Meltdowns, screaming and multiple (near and actual) physical altercations (including threatening to beat up a witness in a hearing) just stunning stuff.
