Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!”
Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now.

If you were consistently embarrassed by David Fahrenthold like Trump was it makes sense that you would pull the plug on 990 disclosure #TaxBS
So the IRS form 990 form lookup portal is down and apparently has been for days. These are disclosures tax exempt orgs have to make. And im told nothing has been uploaded for like a month. www.irs.gov/charities-no...
Form 990 series downloads | Internal Revenue Service
On this page you may download all the most recent 990 Series filings on record. The download files are organized by month. Some months may have more than one entry due to the size of the download.

So probably not a good year to extend #TAXBS
New — Some “critical” IRS employees learned today they’re exempt from the deferred resignation program until May 15th, presumably because the administration remembered it’s tax season.
