I’m not opposed to a windfall tax when someone makes 1 billion dollars in taxable income in a year.

I believe Billionaires should pay a higher tax. If you make over a billion dollars, then would need to pay 50% tax, if you make 2 billion dollars, tax should be 60%. And companies shouldn't be able to buy back stocks or at least limit it.

How can you be impeding someone if you’re behind them?

I'm not saying those goons wouldn't effectuate the arrest or even that the incumbent US Atty wouldn't issue on it, but good fucking luck to them in securing a conviction under 18 USC 111 case if the full extent of what defendant has done is *follow* them.

Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.

“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Trump: The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

The 6-year-old said he saw “snipers on the roof ready to shoot our cars.”

The 8-year-old said, “I saw soldiers and was so scared I started shaking.”

The 14-year-old said, “They put a gun to my face. Then they pointed it at my mom’s head and said they’d blow her head off.”

After tackling her, agents kept kicking as she lay on the ground bruising her ribs and shoulder.

This was part of a joint FBI-ICE raid on La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho, supposedly about illegal gambling. Children were hunted, a mother brutalized,& a community shown inhumanity, & cruelty.

A footnote in a filing in a dispute over whether Juicebox Jeanine Pirro can use DC Superior grand juries to bypass grand juries who've already no-billed her.

1 The government has now misspelled Mr. Stewart’s first name three times in its case
captions. Two of these misspellings were apparently intentional, as they occurred
after Mr. Stewart informed government counsel of the proper spelling of Mr.
Stewart’s name. The correct spelling of Mr. Stewart’s first name is “Kevontae.”

Senator Merkley,

Hurray for you, and could you please discuss Oregon attempting to cancel Citizen's United at the state level?

This would be a wonderful and meaningful move!
