This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Corruption in plain site.
Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.
Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.
The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.
Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.
That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.
Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.
CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

Corruption is nothing new in US politics, but the billionaire Trump has taken it to a whole new, extreme level.
Trump was forced to disclose 3,700 financial transactions conducted in 3 months, from January through March.
The value of his trades was between $220 million and $750 million. Up to $750,000,000 in one quarter!
The sitting US president is using insider information to speculate in the stock market, in trades worth hundreds of millions of dollars every quarter.
If you don't think the government policies Trump implements are influenced by his financial interests, you are extremely naive. This is as corrupt as it gets.

legalized bribery. Susan Collins is a classic pay-to-play politician who takes cash for delivering tax dollars to an oligarch who swindles the Maine citizens who pay the taxes.

This is the largest ongoing upward transfer of wealth happening in every state & city in America:
Fees skimmed off workers' savings & sent to Wall Street billionaires in exchange for investment returns that often underperform a cheap stock index fund. zeteo.com/p/susan-collins-do…

"Knife" will play in festivals this summer and then be released in US and around the world in the fall.
This is a film by @alexgibneyfilm who showed the horrible truth of this attack very well -- he even included footage of the attack on the Chautauqua stage. I'm not sure it is viewable yet -- I don't see it on the streaming services, but I saw it at Chicago film festival Doc10!

Clearly, the only person who doesn’t ask Trump for permission to speak is Melania. She doesn’t give a sheet. Read all about it on Fresh Hell.
