Remember this from Trump’s first campaign? “Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.” Wonder how much they spent for this?

Trump Administration Is Said to Reach Broad Nuclear Deal With Saudis

Some U.S. lawmakers from both parties and Israeli officials have expressed opposition to such a plan, fearing that the kingdom could use a civilian nuclear project to eventually develop nuclear weapon...

Say you were born on roughly the same day as Jesus, and I came to you and told you that I would pay you $1 million every single day—including weekends—until today. And say you didn't spend a penny of it until today. The richest man in the world would still have more than $250 billion more than you

"The result is a structure that turns the pursuit of access to the presidency into profit for Trump." Gabrielle Corporal and @robertmaguire.bsky.social for @citizensforethics.org

Trump’s second memecoin event is somehow even worse than the first - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Trump will likely attend an event for those who hold his memecoin, the second time that he has offered special access to those who purchase $TRUMP.

One of the most disorienting things about both Trump presidencies is the disparity between how demanding his job is at least SUPPOSED to be, and how much less demanding he makes it seem than pretty much everyone else's jobs where you can't just be posting random shit at 11:39am on a Wednesday

The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.

BREAKING: IRS confirms it's negotiating with Trump family to pay a "settlement" in the wildly defective lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the United States’ duty to safeguard tax return information under 26 U.S.C. § 6103 and the Privacy Act. The case remains in its early stages. Good cause exists to grant an extension in this matter while the Parties engage in discussions designed to resolve this matter and to avoid protracted litigation. This limited pause will neither prejudice the Parties nor delay ultimate resolution. Rather, the extension will promote judicial economy and allow the Parties to explore avenues that could narrow or resolve the issues efficiently. II. Argument A. Good Cause Supports a 90-day Extension. Courts routinely grant extensions motions where, as here, an extension serves the interests of justice and efficiency without harming any party. The Parties are engaging in discussions and need time to work through how to ensure those discussions can take place productively to avoid protracted litigation. This brief period will allow the Parties to initiate and structure those discussions in a manner that best serves the interests of all Parties and the Court

it gets lost in the shuffle of constant corruption and bloodshed but even with the memecoin ALONE, that would make him very clearly the most corrupt U.S. president in history, you could easily argue

CREW@citizensforethics.org · 4mo ago

This isn't being talked about enough: President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

Congrats to Pam Bondi for sacrificing whatever shreds of personal and professional dignity she ever had and still utterly failing to be servile and lawless enough to satisfy the most corrupt and vindictive president in American history

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid
