Umm… say what now???
🚨🚨🚨
The agreement the #DOJ made with #Trump to settle his lawsuit against the #IRS includes a provision BARRING the agency from pursuing #tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses. The new provision was released a day after DOJ agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit by creating a $1.8 billion compensation fund for people *he believes* were wronged by federal investigations or prosecutions.
Another good article from Paul Krugman.
"The #Looting of America"
"Think of it this way: The gravity of what the #Trumpists have already done has created a sort of black hole at the center of American political life — and the Trumpists have already crossed the event horizon, the boundary beyond which there is no escape. So they will do ever more terrible things, because they have nothing more to lose"
Blanche will face questions from #Congress over a nearly $1.8B fund to compensate #Trump allies

Gregory Lee Leingang and the funniest Trump assassination attempt
On September 6, 2017, in Mandan, North Dakota, Gregory Lee Leingang stole a forklift from an oil refinery and attempted to drive it toward the presidential motorcade while Trump was visiting to rally public support. After the forklift became jammed within the refinery, he fled on foot and was arrested by the pursuing police. While interviewed in detention, Leingang admitted his intent to murder the president by flipping the presidential limousine with the stolen forklift, to the surprise of authorities, who suspected he was merely thieving the vehicle for personal use.

The US Immigration Crackdown You’re Not Hearing About
“Asylum entries are down 99.9%.
Student visas, family visas, and H‑1B applications have all cratered.
Ryan Bourne is joined by Cato’s David Bier to examine how #Trump’s executive actions have blocked far more legal immigrants than illegal ones, and why the president’s stated support for legal immigration doesn’t match his policy record.”
