There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.

The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.

This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.

Why is no one talking about this?

This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old.

Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing — many of whom are disabled or over 50.

This is one of the reasons I said the Cave Caucus should have held out for at least a week, to make it clear Trump was unlawfully starving people.
As predicted in lots of places, including this morning's "One First," the extra 48 hours that the full Court bought for itself on Tuesday (by overriding Justice Jackson and extending her "administrative stay") was enough time for Congress to moot the SNAP case:

This weekend, it's time to dump T-Mobile. This company has gone all-in on the Trump regime, starting with their partnership with Elon. Join the fight 👇 tmobileboycott.org #boycottTmobile #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall
I’ve been a T-Mobile customer for years. But the T stands for Trump now.

They carry Trump Mobile, killed DEI to please Trump’s FCC, union-bust, backed policies that strip healthcare, and are funneling millions to Musk.

I’m canceling my plan on Nov 15. Join me

I believe this is the end of the end of the road for the regular ballot King County had to process.

That only leaves 'challenged' ballots, which are 1,500 ballots.

If that's right, Wilson's lead is now higher than the number of remaining ballots.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson now leads by 1,976 votes, or 0.72%, in the Seattle mayoral race.

She won the ballots that were added to the totals today by roughly 30 percentage points, growing her lead by 630 votes.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.
