Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Very unclear who or what Kushner is representing in these negotiations. He can't legally represent the USA while being paid by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar. Seriously, what is he doing? popular.info/p/kushners-m...
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

Good thread on antitrust issues on a merger that presents some really interesting issues.
Of course, now the ballgame is about whether Trump will direct efforts to ensure Warner Brothers is sold to his Saudi and tech buddies, as well as his son in law.

The hate is real, and, contra the headline, it is not so secret. And the op-eds opposing the Netflix/WB merger have begun. But, as an antitrust lawyer, I think the merger is likely to be pro-competitive and good for consumers. I'll explain why. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/o...

TBH the fee should be higher for Americans too. $80 to visit all national parks for a year is an outrageously good deal.
The Trump administration will raise prices and add new fees next year for international tourists visiting U.S. national parks, the latest change amid steep cuts and bureaucratic turmoil at the National Park Service and a decline in foreign tourism.
Here's what to know.

Sean Duffy: "If you're a Democrat, you're a liberal, you don't like cars and you want people to ride public transportation, I think that's wonderful, good for you.

While there’s a lot of focus on the destruction, there also needs to be focus on the cost - $300m for 90k sq ft is $3300/sq ft.
High end residential real estate is less than $1000. Commercial real estate $400-$800 per square foot
It’s not just costly it’s massively overpriced.
