Just unbelievable corruption.

He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

Along with an apology from the IRS, Trump's arrangement would also guarantee that the IRS would never audit any member of the Trump family ever again.

He’s the swampiest swamp creature ever.

“Having the IRS agree to no audits of the President, his family and their businesses is unheard of.”
First, a $1.8 billion slush fund. Now Trump aims to weasel out of IRS audits “forever”
We're talking about a man whose company was convicted of criminal tax fraud.

IRS counsel wrote a 25-page memo explaining why Trump's $10 bn claim against the IRS was meritless bilge water and the IRS would prevail on the merits if it went to trial.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach?

BLANCHE: Excuse me?

REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct?

BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family.

REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Steyer is for single payer. He points out that the CMA gave the max to Becerra (they are against single payer.)

Becerra attacks Steyer for his donors.

Porter asks Becerra if he’s for single payer.

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April.

These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion.

The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion.

Wondering if inequality is out of control?

The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year.

Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country.

Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.
