A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.

This time though, the blame really does seem to fall on one person, and one person alone: White House budget director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.
Who broke the appropriations process?

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

If you’re wondering why the oligarchs propping up a regime would put so much effort into dividing citizens into a zero-sum set of factions, their freedom to engage in rank corruption and profiteering just might have something to do with it.

From Liz OYER, former pardon attorney for the DOJ: “Donald Trump’s pardons of wealthy people convicted of fraud have wiped out over $1.3 billion in money owed to the American taxpayers and victims of crimes. The SEC under Trump is walking away from those efforts to protect the victims of fraud.”
