Trump is selling pardons every week to people who pay $1-2 million to his PAC and is approaching 2,000 corrupt and disgusting pardons less than a year into his term, but yeah “no one is above the law.”

Thread on Trump leaking today's payroll numbers, an unprecedented and reckless move by an unhinged autocrat.
Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS.
At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning.
(Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)

HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.
Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

To the extent there are any non-political, career DOJ lawyers left, I'm sympathetic to what they're doing. I've had to go through child sexual abuse material as a lawyer in a past life, and it's worse than run-of-the-mill document review by thousandfold. I hope they have good support systems.

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):

Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.
In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

Performative action is what got the Feds to finally admit AIDS was real, and the stories of that era moved the Overton window enough for Obergfell.
(Hopefully we move the window faster this time)
Performance is media-philic, and humans need to see things several times to fix it in their brains.
