Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.
He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.
He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.
Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

Many of us learned long ago that there is no "Legal Philosophy" in the Federalist Society. It is a club that gives members a leg up in the competition for certain judicial clerkships and jobs in the Trump administration. That is it. Period.

The leak to Axios produced a White House response: Trump swung behind the 'plan'. Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt denied it came from Russia, said it was a "good plan" and a U.S. product. 3/

In Axios' scoop on the leaked document, they called it a "28-point U.S. plan", citing unnamed officials from Russia and the US. Someone then tried to push it through before Thanksgiving. But now the US Sec. of State, backpedaling, denies it's his and denies there is even a deadline. Who is lying? 4/

It sure looks like Axios got played here. Ukraine held the line, but it was Axios who put them under terrible pressure. The only clear things about this shitshow are that Axios owes us an explanation, and that media must stop printing 'scoops' from motivated sources while granting them anonymity. 5/
