Resisting, but they seem powerless to stop it. We have a lot to get to this morning. Lets start with what you need to know from that New York Times tax investigation. Lets go through it. First, President Trump paid hardly any federal income taxes for much of the past two decades, in 2016 and 2017, he paid just 750. And none, at all, 0 for 10 of the previous 15 years before that. Second, these records poke a multimillion dollar hole in the president s business man brand, showing the guy who built a name on being rich has been more successful playing a mogul than being one in real life. As the times puts it. We should note nbc news has not independently reviewed that 20 years worth of tax return data, but the times says they show the president has made millions from his fame and name, and lost millions on risky deals, then used the losses to avoid paying taxes. And critically these records show a financial crush about to get even tighter. Over the next four years, the times says, more th

Higher court in a case of an appeal. Judges rules are often quite detailed. They explain their reasoning in a lot of detail. They can be quite narrative. They can be quite interesting. But judges dont have to do it that way all the time. When the judge does need to make an order, the judge needs to make a ruling but its relatively easy stuff, or at least its a relatively simple ruling on a single point and the judge just wants to get right to it and not do too much story questions telling to back it up, a judge can do something called a minute order.

In any case, minute and minute are spelled the same, so if i am wrong about this, i will definitely appeal that to cable news appeals court. But when a judge issues one of these minute orders, it almost always is something that takes a minute or less to read. It usually takes even less time than that to get to the point of what the

Hes on strike because theyre investigating him. This is the equivalent of like, getting caught breaking curfew or like not making your bed or doing Something Else bad, so you walk into the kitchen, grab the silverware drawer and shake it over your head upside down. Im creating a new crisis. That was nuts today. I give senator schumer credit for saying what happened in the white house would make your jaw drop trying to make us all not lose our sense o
