Admission to a capricious abuse of power based on petty grievance—a power usurped from Congress.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

The FBI investigation is focused on 5 "deficiencies or defects" with the election + subsequent tabulation.

The affidavit in support of the Fulton County warrant is some Sidney Powell-level horseshit.

Well, I'm sure that Judge Jia Cobb will be very understanding about Kristi Noem putting out a THIRD memo defying the court's order.
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.
