More generally: Trump’s economic policy makes more sense once you recognize it’s just an elaborate bribe-solicitation mechanism.

This is glaringly obvious to everyone except for the faces of corporate media, who desperately want to walk a red carpet

Their leaders have overtly authoritarian political ends, and their company cannot be trusted with the leverage or access that even this bread and butter work gives them. They are also American, and we need to be disentangling ourselves from US suppliers, not forming new critical entanglements.

National Guard roams Washington with no end in sight to $1 million-per-day deployment Even with pivotal elections looming this year, their lingering presence is barely mentioned

More than 2,500 troops remain in the nation’s capital, Washington DC, eight months after President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency, in a deployment that has grown increasingly routine with no clear end in sight.

Trump lawyer from effort to overturn 2020 election to oversee probe of ex-CIA director, DOJ official says Joseph DiGenova, a conservative attorney, is being tapped by the U.S. Justice Department to lead an ongoing criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan.

“For my friends everything; for my enemies the law.”

DOJ has become an instrument of authoritarianism. No more laments for what it was; or talk of “abuses”; or wishful thinking about how they can’t get away with it. They can, if not confronted across the board.

Clogs the system so bad that he'll be pardoning himself or expects a pardon by the time a legitimate legal authority is able to bring him to justice.

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

A great deal of the reason why things aren’t so very much worse right now is because there is almost no overlap in the Venn Diagram that represents Trump’s Stooges Trying To Do Evil Shit in one circle and People Who Know How To Do Shit in the other circle.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.
