Never forget 9/11, unless you’re Trump, Jared Kushner, and Paramount chasing a Warner Bros. takeover bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s PIF and Qatar’s QIA so they can continue consolidating the media landscape. Remind me how this is “America First” or making anything great.

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
