Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

26 U.S. Code § 7217 - Prohibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits and other investigations
U.S. Code

The Chicken Suit Guy said something like, "Whatever ICE wants to do to us can't be worse than what they're already doing to immigrants." Amen, Jack.

If you're worried for No Kings and what the govt may do, it won't be worse than what they'll do if we don't stop them. We get to be courageous now.

Thank you! I could use some right now. I fell a couple days ago & broke my wrist. Have to get surgery tomorrow AM. 😖/ apparently getting some sort of metal stabilizer plate. I’m hoping it will allow me to shoot webs or something. That would be cool.

@damnyourlies.bsky.social - Courtney summed up what I suspected. I second the notion w don’t need that shit on top of everything else. It makes me so angry. And I’m angry enough as it is!

I will go take a look. But imho, MT is frequently doing exactly this type of hype/clickbait. So much so they have largely stopped watching their videos & unsubscribed to the newsletter. I want facts & to be informed but I don’t want what amounts to fear mongering. It’s hard enough as it is ☹️

All while the US government is shut down.

a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?
