IRS improperly disclosed confidential immigrant tax data to DHS The tax agency only recently discovered it improperly disclosed tax information on thousands of the wrong people to immigration enforcement.

"Law mandates strict protections of the identities of taxpayers, including the sharing of data within the federal government. Undocumented immigrants have for years paid taxes with assurances...that doing so would not result in them being targeted." https://wapo.st/3O2v3gu

For my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com, wrote about FDA's disastrous decision--or, really, it seems Vinay Prasad's singular choice--to turn away Moderna's flu vaccine application without a review. The problem is much bigger than this one vaccine. (🎁 link):

We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab The nihilism of the regime is its most terrifying attribute.

"In his egoism, Trump exhibits an overarching desire to squeeze the nation dry, including by converting as much of America’s wealth to himself regardless of the consequences. What Trump can’t take with him, he would just as soon ruin."

Elon Musk Y @elonmusk X.com For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

We continue to update our tracker of material harms from the Trump administration's environmental policies. Among the most unsubtle moves to tip the scale against communal and environmental wellbeing: the Trump administration zeroing out the value of human lives saved by pollution regulation.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Trump & complicit Republicans are responsible!

The Soviet Union spent more than 40 years trying to achieve what’s been handed to Putin on a plate. Throughout Cold War, Kremlin’s primary objective was to split NATO by turning America & Europe against one another.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
