The Epstein billionaires, techbro ghouls, and White House kleptocrats could pay enough tax that we‘d eliminate hunger and support health care, housing, and education for everyone in the world, and they‘d never know the difference. The existence of poverty is a cruel choice that we can change. Vote in November for a better, more equal world. #inequality #kleptocracy #votefromabroad @renewedresistance@channel.org @democratsabroad@mastodon.social @Fobbsie@mastodon.social

#ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections. #Trump #law #criminal #theft #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #SlushFund

On Jan 20, 2025 #America went from the leader of free world to despotic, fascist, #BananaRepublican rule by a convicted felon, pathological liar,malignant narcissist,ignoramus installing only incompetent bootlickers to kill all that #America stood for! #Kakistocracy #Oligarchy #Kleptocracy #Politics

Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement]. Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records [records he had promised to release himself]. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The move comes after the White House floated a proposal to end the lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund to compensate supporters of #Trump who felt they had been mistreated by Democratic admins [what?]. The #settlement would be agreed upon by Trump’s private lawyers & the #DOJ [Trump’s other private lawyers] without feedback from the #judge overseeing the case. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The decision to dismiss the suit could also allow #Trump & the #DOJ to avoid a potentially embarrassing ruling from Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida finding that Trump’s suit was invalid. #Judge Williams has considered dismissing Trump’s suit because he effectively controls both his personal lawyers bringing the complaint & the government lawyers who are supposed to respond to it. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

#Judge Williams had ordered the #DOJ, which has yet to make an appearance or filing in the case, & #Trump’s lawyers to brief her by Wednesday to explain whether they were actually in opposition — or were colluding to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. [oh, they are definitely colluding] In their filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers said their dismissal meant that “no judicial analysis is appropriate” for the suit. [IOW no #oversight.] #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The substance of Trump’s suit stems from the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2019. #Trump, 2 of his sons & his family business argue that the #IRS should have done more to prevent a former contractor from leaking tax information to The Times & ProPublica. While federal #law allows for people to sue the IRS when their tax information is leaked, legal experts saw clear flaws in Trump’s suit…. #criminal #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #DOJ #kleptocracy

“Where is the money going -that the US is taking in,🚨where is that money going?” #Trump: “From🚨#Venezuela?” “Towards running the country. It can go to the military.🚨Congress has to approve it... (Trump⁉️). We’re taking in a lot of money.🚨$Bs & $Bs from Venezuela.” The president couldn’t offer anything close to a straight answer on where those $Bs went. FT reported:🚨after 6 months & 2 devastating earthquakes, the💰is still nowhere to be found." #Theft #Kleptocracy #USPol

“Grant🚨to thin trees is held up.🚨Forest where trees were supposed to be cut down now on fire. Rare when there’s a🚨clear causal relationship b/t govt decision "A" & negative consequence "B" but this, along w/cutting monitoring of the poop virus, are pretty black & white.” -S Lawyer Guy #Trump’s #Sabotage, #Deregulation, #Retaliation, #Lies… & a complicit cabal of greedy Republicans, have caused many atrocities‼️ #Climate #Impeach #ETTD #Kleptocracy #Elections #USPol

"DHS🚨got $170M from the #BBB to track China’s illicit fishing ops deemed “ecocide.” But #DHS, under Kristi Noem, instead🚨spent it on security for World Cup matches, other major sporting events & America250." -A Desiderio #Trump has stolen money from the fed govt to fund his priorities: arresting, detaining, & deporting immigrants, retribution campaign, ballroom, World Cup & sporting events he enjoys, gilding... Noem was just a tool. #Impeach #Kleptocracy #Theft #USPol

Judge says Trump must hand over financial records to BBC “All of President Trump’s brand, properties and businesses are impugned or said to have been impugned. Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case,” Lett said at the conclusion of a three-hour hearing. Her decision opened the door for the BBC to explore the finances of more than 400 companies owned by a Trump family trust, but Trump can appeal the ruling to U.S. District Court Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee. #lol #lawfare #MAGA #Trump #corruption #classwar #USPol #fascism #kleptocracy #oligarchy #bbc

"There's a $40B lawsuit against the govt, among the largest in history. Plaintiff?🚨A bankrupt SAT co backed by PE giant Cerberus, whose fndr S Feinberg is #2 at the Def Dept—the agency being sued.
