‘George Santos With a Gun’: The Untold Story of Cory Mills, A Mercenary In Congress
The Florida Republican has tried to leverage his legislative role to the benefit of his arms business. With that business now in foreclosure proceedings, Mills has little to show for it.

What is painfully obvious in these moments isn't simply that the person alleging to lead this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone left still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, celebrating him, probably is too.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Any journalist who has reached out to the federal government for a statement this year can attest to the unhinged responses they always get. I picked a couple of examples www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...
![When HuffPost journalist S.V. Dáte reached out to the White House to ask who had picked Budapest for the location of the president’s recent meeting with Putin, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied “your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also responded with “your mom.” Leavitt further elaborated:
It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bullshit questions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r75unbj372lvbim6syioaueo/bafkreidlmkzabjg5k4fxzi6ofg4356i77ftr7d7nfsamqqchwgou6h7jcq@jpeg)

Giving Dap
The dap dates back to black soldiers in Vietnam, who used a combination of hand and body gestures to greet each other and communicate solidarity.

Advertising the corruption right out in the open. On the plus side, they’re no longer whining about the fictional ‘Biden Crime Family’.
FFS. I’m sure it’s all about merit.
Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...
