I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Merz hält Windkraft nur für eine Übergangstechnologie und hofft auf eine Energie-Revolution. Entrücktheit ist, mitten in der größten Energierevolution seit der Industrialisierung auf eine Energie-Revolution zu hoffen. Nun, Don Merzottes Windmühlen werden seinen Kampf gegen die Realität überdauern.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Ein Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.

A US early-warning radar of one sort or another has been on Greenland for nearly 70 years—without the need for US sovereignty. Greenland is also covered by Article Five & US could protect it v Russia or China. Conflating Greenland's military importance with the issue of US ownership is dishonest.

There is only one fraud ring that matters in the United States, and it's run out of the White House

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
