JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

Casual reminder to ONLY call the elected officials who show up on your ballot. 👍📞🤓

Non-constituent calls do not get tallied and can cause more harm than good. For example, during high traffic times like this, they block calls from constituents who can get tallied.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.
