Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.

it's going to be a great summer of doing literally anything else but caring about this torturous team
“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
News: Trump nominates a permanent Justice Department inspector general - Don Berthiaume, who was first tapped as acting DOJ IG last year. He'd take over a watchdog office that's been noticeably silent amid various White House-DOJ scandals.

Just the two SCOTUS rulings today. Still no word on redistricting or other closely-watched cases.
Second, and last, opinion is Hencely v. Fluor. In a 6-3 decision, Thomas holds that the Fourth Circuit was wrong to hold that Hencely's claims were preempted. Alito dissents, joined by Roberts and Kavanaugh. (Yeah, it's a weird line-up!) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
First, but not last, is Enbridge Energy v. Nessel. Sotomayor affirms the Sixth Circuit in a unanimous opinion. Removal was untimely and the case goes back to state court. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
While the Trump administration faces scrutiny over efforts to strip or alter public data, New York City elevates Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz as a leader committed to preserving it.

the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument in Blanche v. Lau, a case about just how much evidence border agents really need to jeopardize the ability of Lawful Permanent Residents to remain in the United States

Jay Bhattacharya falsely accused people of “censoring” him for years — including Stanford Internet Observatory. He has his job because of pretend censorship — he parlayed being a fake victim into a government appointment.
Here he is suppressing a paper because he doesn’t like its conclusions.
“SPLC at times shared information gathered through its field sources program with law enforcement, including the FBI. Tuesday went around the bend, as Blanche tried to claim that SPLC, through this informant program, was helping white supremacist organizations. DOJ’s own indictment belies the claim”
A federal judge on Tuesday delayed the planned criminal sentencing of Purdue Pharma by one week, saying she wanted to allow more public participation before concluding a criminal case over the company's marketing of addictive opioid drugs.
MAZEL TOV!!!
Trump comes near the lowest point ever in the AP-NORC poll, with a 33% approval rating to a 67% disapprove. The lowest previous number was 32% in September 2017.
JD Vance also hits a new low, with 53% of the country saying they have an "unfavorable" view of him, compared to 31% favorable.
Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.
Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...
Court documents show President Trump knew he was going to tear down the East Wing at least two months before doing so, but he never told the public.

but the fact of the matter is that with the notable exception *of* the mid to late 20th century, every major change in our political system and government has been a partisan or ideological political project.
It’s a theory that would basically render suspect any type of confidential informant where the informant is given a material benefit for cooperating
Guys they’re charging SPLC with wire fraud on the theory that it was a knowing material falsehood which induced donors to donate for SPLC to say they were “dismantling” hate groups while also paying informants in said groups, which DoJ is saying SPLC thereby funneled money to said groups
A US House of Representatives committee approved legislation that would deeply narrow the scope of an anti-money laundering law that required the beneficial owners of certain companies to identify themselves. The bill effectively codifies regulatory changes implemented last year by the Trump administration.
