The IRS’s Verification System for Sharing Taxpayer Data With ICE Would Have Accepted ‘Don’t Care 12345’ as a Valid Address We’re a couple weeks late to this one, but it deserves more attention than it received. As the Washington Post first reported, a federal judge has found that the IRS violated federal law 42,6…

This timeline sucks. 'on the day (ICE) found out the data was obtained in violation of federal law, the first move was to give more people access to the illegally obtained data' - @masnick.com re: 'The IRS’s Verification System for Sharing Taxpayer Data With ICE' www.techdirt.com/2026/03/13/t...

Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.

And Hungarians have the answer... 😏

The depositions were just too unwoke for public consumption.

Everyone Now Has Trump’s Phone Number The president’s personal iPhone has been lighting up.

It used to be a pretty rare thing to call a president directly. But since the US attacked Iran two weeks ago, Trump has answered more than three dozen phone calls from journalists representing at least a dozen outlets. By Michael Scherer @ashleyrparker.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

He's calling on countries that he has shat on to come bail him out of a big mess he made. I hope they all say NO!

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

Can anyone explain how this is not a quid-pro-quo bribe?

Especially since US law demanded the transfer of TikTok’s US operations as the one way to avoid a ban.

Big donors to the president got the company as the govt forced the sale, and he gets $10 billion.

If not a bribe, why so bribe-shaped?

ICE Barbie Gives Giant Border Contract to Accused People Smugglers The company is alleged to have illegally employed Mexicans... and is now building a wall to keep them out.

EXCLUSIVE | Kristi Noem awarded $1 billion in contracts to build the Mexican border wall to a company accused of smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, giving them guns, and allowing them to take part in a wild shootout.

A reminder that the International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Netanyahu were based in part on statements he made himself about Israeli actions in Gaza.
These statements by Hegseth will be remembered.
