Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

Trump is deploying his DOJ in a defensive stance designed to protect him at all costs, while calling the files a Democratic hoax. But really, he could do the survivors a great service by sharing what he knows. joycevance.substack.com/p/he-looks-l...

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

At this point in his first term, Trump had visited a Trump Org property on 82 days and golfed on 47. This time around, he's visited a property on 93 days and played golf on 65. Each visit by Trump to one of his properties produces a transfer of tens of thousands in treasury funds to the property.
An official accounting of Trump’s golf and customer service time
It remains the case that President Trump doesn't particularly seem to like the White House. During his first time in office, there was reporting to this effect; in 2017, he allegedly told members of his New Jersey golf club that the building was a "dump." Trump denied this, for that's...

In the NIH funding case, Justice Gorsuch (joined by Justice Kavanaugh) claimed that this was the third time in recent weeks that lower courts had "defied" a #SCOTUS ruling.
As today's "One First" explains, that claim is not only nonsense; it's enabling a dangerous anti-court narrative on the right:

Just like the earlier rulings that Justice Gorsuch claims lower courts are defying, his concurrence in the NIH grant cutoffs case would be a lot more convincing if it showed more of its work.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
