  1. USA circa 2026: A dangerous mix of #Kleptocracy, #Idiocracy, and #Plutocracy:

    "US tax authorities will be barred from pursuing claims against Donald Trump, his eldest sons and the Trump Organization under an agreement to halt the president’s $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.

    The pledge by the Department of Justice on Tuesday came a day after Trump agreed to settle his lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the US government launching a $1.8bn fund for victims of alleged “lawfare”.

    “The United States RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES each of the Plaintiffs from, and is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing, any and all claims,” wrote acting attorney-general Todd Blanche in a one-page document released on Tuesday, in relation to the case brought in January by Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization.

    A DoJ spokesperson told the FT that the decision to bar the IRS from pursuing claims against Trump was “only with respect to any existing audits”.

    “There would be little point in settling several significant claims if either party could simply turn around and seek to initiate more adverse claims that could have been pursued previously,” added the spokesperson."

    The wall came down once

    The twin towers came down (and wtc7, shhhhh)

    And covert #mairikkkan imperialism became overt with an unsurprising #broligarch #kleptocracy vibe

    #america, the firehose pariah has now turned on everyone except #darthputin

    That's why #nato met, invited #japan and #australia and didn't invite #BigHands

    And there's a #French nuclear attack sub in #halifax

  4. The states argued #Musk violated the #Constitution by wielding #power only ofcls confirmed by the US #Senate can exercise under the #AppointmentsClause, & sought the materials through…discovery.

    #Chutkan said her order focused mainly on who at #DOGE was making cost-cutting decisions & how far they could go.

    "Defendants argue that the 'inner workings of government' are immaterial to an Appointments Clause claim,” she wrote.

  11. More than half a million concurrent viewers were tuned in to streamer #AdinRoss' Kick channel on Monday afternoon to watch an interview w/ #Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to hearing the #GOP presidential nom rant about some of his favorite topics, they also saw Trump receive 2 expensive, potentially #illegal gifts from Ross: a gold #Rolex & a custom-wrapped #Cybertruck.
