Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

I don’t particularly care if the case can be refiled if Trump survives to 83 years old and relinquishes power voluntarily one day. My interest is in obliging powerful officials to follow the law and observe their oaths, not in reserving the possibility of punishment for a time it won’t matter.

I don't understand why it's simply too much for a prosecutor to hold firm that the President is not above the law until courts tell them otherwise.

The reliance on OLC memos for dismissal makes it even worse by reaffirming that the President's appointees, not the courts, decide the law.
A sickening abdication of the rule of law. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

In previously unreported comments, RFK Jr. agreed with the "chemtrails" conspiracy theory involving the exhaust from commercial airplanes. Add another one to the list.

Hey, Litigation Disaster Tourists!

Musk went and did it. He filed the SLAPP suit against Media Matters. This thing will likely rival the Trump election suits for frivolity so let's read it together, why don't we?

Thanks to Elmo, "engagement farming" is now a thing on twitter. Verified accounts are beginning to clog up replies in popular threads by posting mindless bullshit - merely to inflate their impressions - and get paid.

The replies to a post by CNN's Kaitlan Collins:

Hello, bluesky.
Trump has already been indicted three times, including earlier this month in a separate federal probe that covered some of the same ground as the Georgia investigation.

The fourth indictment includes a grand total of 41 charges brought against Trump and 18 others. https://wapo.st/44aj1Uk
