Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) responded to a letter from a fourth grader by telling him he had been propagandized by a teacher who is “indoctrinating you.” That teacher assigned Christian Mango, a 10-year-old from Greensboro, North Carolina, and his classmates, to write a persuasive essay and send it to someone in a position to act on the request. In an interview with Fox 8 in Greensboro on Monday, Christian explained that he chose to write to Foxx to urge her to support giving people rebates for purchasing electric vehicles. His mother, Emily Mango, said the topic was chosen by her son. “What many folks do not realize is that the money that ‘comes from’ the federal government actually comes from ordinary citizens who pay taxes to support that government,” Foxx wrote Christian in reply. “Therefore, your request that ‘the federal government should give a $5,000 tax rebate for all new electric car purchases’ means that the federal government must take that money out of the pockets of hardworking people who may not have the means to buy an electric vehicle in the first place.” The letter, however, ventured beyond a policy disagreement with the 10-year-old. “Please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you,” Foxx continued. “My guess is that your teachers will not give you a good educational experience and help you learn to think as they are too interested in indoctrinating you.” Emily Mango called the congresswoman’s letter “horrific.” “Reprehensible response,” she said on Facebook, addressing Foxx. “You crossed a line when you attacked a child and attacked teachers. You don’t deserve to be on a Committee for Education when you talk to children like this and think so lowly of teachers.” Christian told Fox 8 he did not entirely understand Foxx’s response, but when his mother explained it to him, he said he was upset. “I think that was wrong,” he said, “because the school didn’t do anything.”The post Mother of Fourth Grader Shocked by ‘Horrific’ Letter From MAGA Congresswoman To Son: ‘You Attacked a Child’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘You Seem Nuts, Buddy’: James Comey Says Trump’s ‘Crazy’ Posting Spree...
Former FBI director James Comey said that President Donald Trump didn’t “seem ok” after his “crazy” social media posting spree, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the president was “different in a bad way” from his 2016 self. Comey joined Tuesday’s edition of The Source to discuss his new book, Red Verdict, and his recent indictment based on his controversial post in which he arranged seashells to display the numbers “86 47.” Collins asked the former FBI director if he expected further indictments for other enemies of the president, like former president Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. “I hope they’re consulting with good lawyers because the president is telling the Department of Justice, which is an adjunct of his vengeance campaign, to go after these people. So if I’m them, I would steel myself for things to happen,” he said. When asked about additional indictments for him personally, Comey told Collins he was preparing for three or four more. Collins pushed the former FBI director to clarify, asking if he really believed he could be indicted for a third or fourth time. “Yeah, I just don’t know. I mean, I don’t know what it might be. I hear about crazy sort of red string, crazy wall conspiracy theories in Florida,” said Comey. “I don’t know what they’re cooking up, but I would expect there will be more efforts to get the president’s enemies because he’s obsessed with it. And that’s really, really sad.” Collins later expanded on Comey’s comments, asking him whether the president seemed like the same person he was when the two men worked together in 2017. The CNN host brought up the president’s massive number of social media posts over the last few days as a possible indicator of decline. Comey claimed that Trump did, in fact, seemed both different and “nuts.” Read their exchange below: COLLINS: You know, he posted a lot overnight, as I just mentioned, you know, bringing up things about Obama. That’s one of the things I assume you’re mentioning when you say you don’t know what the possible future indictments could be. A lot of debunked conspiracy theories about the election, Hillary Clinton, the 2020 election. You used to brief him. I mean, in 2016, in the run up to the election, and in 2017. Do you think he’s the same person as he was when you used to sit in the Oval Office with him? COMEY: He doesn’t… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Trump Officials Are Reportedly Discussing Whether To Pay Trump a Settlement in I...
AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein The Department of Justice is having “internal discussions” about potentially settling President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, The New York Times reported on Tuesday night. In January, the president sued his own administration for $10 billion in damages stemming from a leak of his tax returns that occurred during his first term. His sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who run the Trump Organization, are also suing. Based on the leaks, the Times reported in 2020 that the billionaire president paid just $750 in income tax in 2016 and in 2017. “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a Trump spokesperson said in January. The leaks were the handiwork of Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor who worked for Booz Allen. He pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosures of tax returns and was sentenced in 2024 to the maximum of five years. Last month, lawyers for the president asked a federal judge for a 90-day extension with respect to a key deadline in the case, suggesting that a settlement may be near. On Tuesday, the Times said settlement talks are underway, citing three people familiar with the situation. “Whether to settle the suit and on what terms remains up in the air,” the paper stated. “One of the settlement options the Justice Department and White House officials are reviewing is the possibility of the I.R.S. dropping any audits of Mr. Trump, his family members or businesses, according to two of the people.” The DOJ is representing the IRS in the case. That is the same DOJ that is helmed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who served as Trump’s personal attorney in between presidential terms. “We have a man who’s doing a great job, I’ll tell you,” Trump said of the attorney general on Monday. “I knew it, because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail.” In October, the Times reported that Trump is seeking $230 million from the Department of Justice over the FBI’s investigation into potential ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia, as well as the bureau’s execution of a warrant at his Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022.
