Trump's net worth increased by $4 billion. All of the wealth was gained by manipulating his power as president. Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Here’s my litmus test for a real news organization: if you don’t report that this is objectively the most corrupt administration in United States history, you’re not a real news organization

My reading of this shadow docket order is that six justices want to make it hard for Trump to use the military to prevent electoral transfers of power and three justices do not

Because I’m petty, I would rename all of these. The Jean E. Carroll ballroom. Vindman-Class ships. I would order any post-presidency Secret Service detail to drive around in vans that say JACK SMITH WAS RIGHT
Has any other president named this much stuff after himself?
