It's a long read but definitely worth. Fantastic journalism. Many of these people are alive and have a lot to answer for.

Looking at you, Jamie Dimon, Leslie Wexner, Leon Black, Ehud Barak, and others.

WTF!
A federal judge in Washington on Tuesday said he's not inclined to stop construction of President Donald Trump's $300 million White House ballroom.

That comes in response to a lawsuit from the National Trust for Historic Preservation last week aimed at halting the project.

Trump’s travel ban is racism disguised as security, xenophobia disguised as policy. I stand with the immigrant community and denounce Trump’s cruel and indiscriminate immigration policies.

🏆 Night three's win? Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election.

Susan Crawford defeated a Trump-backed opponent whose campaign received financial backing from Elon Musk. The victory stymied the GOP’s plans to use the Court to advance its own agenda.

Another day, another symbol of national pride warped into a vanity project.

California's world-class state parks — the largest state system in America — will always remain accessible and unafraid to tell the truth about our history.
The Donald Trump administration has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They will be replaced with Donald Trump’s birthday.
