An important point. Our system of checks and balances isn’t functioning as designed at all due to the craven GOP in Congress AND the Supreme Court.

At a certain point even the most ethical criminal lawyers are going to feel compelled to describe their clients' conviction as "an Obama-Biden type set up" as zealous advocacy and that's so corrosive that I'm not entirely sure we can recover from that.
POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

TRUMP: Well I don't know him and I know very little about him other than people said it was like an Obama-Biden type set up

OMG: The signage behind Trump at his so-called affordability event today reads "LOWER PRICES" and "BIGGER PAYCHECKS"

Trump's strategy to counter his disastrous handling of the affordability crisis is to just...lie about it.

This is a gift to Democrats.

During the year’s busiest season of charitable giving, donors may wonder whether the nonprofits they are considering donating to are going to be good stewards of their money.

Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.

This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.

Another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth.

“You mean to suggest that the fact that one major donor to the current president—the most major donor to the current president—got a very lucrative job immediately upon election from the new administration does not give the appearance of quid pro quo?”

Sonia Sotomayor torched a lawyer Tuesday for suggesting that Elon Musk didn’t buy his way into the White House, and warned that if SCOTUS removed the limits on coordinated expenditures, there would be “no control” over how much one donor could give—opening the door for blatant corruption.

I rarely sound alarm - but please: do not believe what you hear or read from the legacy outlets.

For US news - these either serve the WH by definition or are intimidated to serve (always their decision though)

For global news - US media spreads pro-RU, anti-EU views under “America First” label.

If the president’s Article II removal power cannot be restrained, then it cannot be restrained even for people whom the majority might want to protect, like the Federal Reserve Board.

There are briefer and coarser ways to make this point.
