Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.
Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Just got an email asking me if I'd like to platform Jake Tapper on my podcast to help him sell another book. It took everything in me to respond with a polite fuck no. But what's fun is that corporate media folk know they can get more engagement on an independent podcast than they can on CNN.

I’d say that Kennedy Jr.—whose deranged conspiracy theories are now likely to cost America a new COVID-19 booster this fall—won’t be happy until his narcissism costs tens of thousands their lives, but the truth is he won’t be happy then, either.
He’s a miserable man engaged in miserable misconduct.

Kennedy Issues Demands for Vaccine Approvals That Could Affect Fall Covid Boosters
The plans amount to an extraordinary flex of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s power as health secretary to make decisions ordinarily left to career scientists at the Food and Drug Administration.

Once you get into business with the Mob, you can never get out.
Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations:
Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines.
Milbank can challenge clean air rules.
Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water.
Skadden is perfect to break the unions.
Shameful all.

Trump announced that as part of tens of millions of dollars of pro bono services law firms will be providing to him as a result of his shakedowns, law firms will work with coal companies on "leasing and other things"

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
