Anymore, cruelty has become the aspiration and the point.

On the plus side, with the way things are going with AI, men are also soon to be expendable.

I'll be writing about that expendability (in a way) in my next Reading the Tape Substack.

But first I have to get a motion and a writ reply completed.

Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

The money is his Recruitment Incentivizing Fund.

So this is who the slush fund was built for. The former Proud Boys leader who drew a 22-year sentence for plotting to stop a presidential transition now expects a check from your taxes.

Enrique Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy for helping orchestrate the Capitol attack and handed a 22-year sentence. Trump cut him loose one day after taking office.

Now Tarrio says he is owed somewhere in the mid-tens of millions from the new "Anti-Weaponization Fund," and some of his fellow insurrectionists are reportedly eyeing the money to bankroll runs for local office.

Here is where it came from.

Trump sued the IRS for ten billion over the leak of his tax returns, then had his own Justice Department settle by creating a 1.776 billion dollar fund for anyone who feels the government wronged them. He and his sons collect a formal apology and a permanent ban on the IRS auditing his returns. Everyone else scraps over the rest.

That pot comes from the federal Judgment Fund. That is your money.

The man overseeing payouts, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, was Trump's personal lawyer. He refused to rule out paying the rioters who assaulted police that day.

So the officers who defended the Capitol, more than 140 of them injured, are now in court trying to block their own attackers from cashing in.

The math is simple.

Violence in Trump's name no longer gets you prosecuted. It gets you paid.

Remember that in November.

An ICE agent in Minneapolis is facing criminal charges after firing his service weapon through the closed front door of a home — shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg while four adults and two children were inside.

The agent, Christian Castro, fired the shot on January 14, 2026, during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Video evidence reviewed by prosecutors shows Castro fired knowing that the people who had run inside presented no threat. "Mr. Castro fired his service weapon at the front door of the home, knowing there were people who had just run inside that presented absolutely no threat to him or anyone else," said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. The bullet struck Julio Sosa-Celis in the right leg.

Castro now faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest. Following the shooting, ICE agents deployed tear gas, breached the residence, and took all occupants into custody — including the two children.

If convicted on all assault counts, Castro could face three to seven years in prison per charge and fines of up to $14,000 per count. Prosecutors aren't treating this as a gray area: a federal agent fired through a closed door at unarmed people in their own home — with children present.

The case is among the first criminal charges brought against an ICE agent during the current administration's intensified enforcement operations — and raises serious questions about oversight and accountability.

This is the sort of thing that the Mafia could never even dream about getting.

Talk about your "criminal protective order". This gives that term a whole new meaning.

🚨 BLANCHE SHIELDS TRUMP: In a newly posted order signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department of Justice states that the federal government is now permanently barred from pursuing a wide range of tax-related claims and reviews against Donald Trump, his family members, and affiliated companies.

The order says the United States "RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES" Trump and is "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from pursuing claims, examinations, reviews, appeals, monetary relief, and other actions against Trump and "related or affiliated individuals," including family members, trusts, parent and sister companies, and subsidiaries.

In other words, this appears to grant sweeping protection not just to Trump, but to much of his family and businesses.

The document was signed by Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal criminal defense attorney, who now serves as Acting Attorney General.

Sometimes the wrong tool kinda sorta works.

That’s the dangerous part.

A screwdriver can pound a nail. The nail may even go in. But the board splits, the nail bends, and the person holding the tool walks away thinking the method was validated.

That’s how a lot of AI use works right now. It isn’t always total failure. It’s partial success mistaken for proof.

This piece is about AI, schools, trading, cooking, law, and the mistake of blaming the tool while ignoring the human decisions behind its misuse.

Just Reading the Tape, folks.

Kinda sorta works. Except that it often doesn't.

We're literally being Looted by the Grifter-in-Chief.

BREAKING: 93 House Democrats have filed a motion to block Trump’s self-dealing settlement in his sham $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which would create a $1.7 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and political allies.
