Report by House panel shows that Trump reported $0 in taxable income and $0 in net tax in 2020, his last year as president. (He did pay $271,973 in self-employment, household worker and other taxes.) https://t.co/sEOxHtLfNP — PolitiTweet.org

According to a previous @nytimes investigation, Trump paid no federal income taxes in 11 of 18 years examined and only $750 his first year as president. — PolitiTweet.org

IRS failed to audit Trump's taxes the first two years he was in office even though presidential tax returns are supposed to be automatically audited. @charlie_savage https://t.co/gRSJL8TGI8 — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis once said it was "great" to get more covid vaccines. Now as he positions himself to the right of Trump, he has gone hard line against them, even seeking to investigate supposed wrongdoing. ⁦@iarnsdorf⁩ https://t.co/VLVps7Z46a — PolitiTweet.org

Historians like @kaibird123, his biographer, have long argued that Oppenheimer was mistreated. The latest action reverses "a travesty, a black mark on the honor of the nation," Bird says. — PolitiTweet.org

Energy's Granholm nullifies 1954 decision to revoke the security clearance of Robert Oppenheimer, who led the making of the atomic bomb in World War II but fell under suspicion of being a Soviet spy at the height of the McCarthy era. ⁦@WilliamJBroad⁩ https://t.co/rEV1J55sW6 — PolitiTweet.org

Becoming the first woman speaker in US history didn't get her on the cover of Time, much to her annoyance. But becoming the leader of the Trump resistance did. The improbable journey of Nancy Pelosi as powerbroker comes to an end. ⁦@sbg1⁩ https://t.co/TTTF5FwPDU — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's favorable rating is the lowest in ⁦@WSJ⁩ polling since Nov. 2021, pulled down by a drop among Republicans. He trails DeSantis by 14 points. But if he gets the nomination, Trump is just 2 points behind Biden. ⁦@McCormickJohn⁩ https://t.co/YpNv0iFghb — PolitiTweet.org

Colby-Sawyer College has slashed its tuition from $46,000 to $17,500, joining a growing number of small, private colleges in what’s called the tuition reset to overhaul prices to reflect what most students actually pay after discounts. ⁦@anemonanyc⁩ https://t.co/aoRlDwB7yC — PolitiTweet.org

All of which is a reminder that the electorate as a whole did not repudiate the GOP altogether and 2024 could be very competitive depending on who is nominated. — PolitiTweet.org

All of which suggests that Trump-endorsed candidates like Oz, Lake and Walker cost the Republicans control of the Senate. Had the House votes been for president, the GOP would have won 297 Electoral College votes, more than the 270 needed to capture the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans won the overall popular vote in House races 51-48%. Had every voter who supported Republicans for the House voted for their party's Senate candidate, the GOP would have won races in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and Nevada. ⁦@Nate_Cohn⁩ https://t.co/cADS69DaUO — PolitiTweet.org
