a running tabulation of administration grift that links back to each story about reporting on an instance of known plutocracy should be on the home page of every American news org that considers itself a serious White House watchdog
The Trump transition team will not make use of a $7 million public fund set aside for presidential transfers of power, instead opting for a highly unethical fundraising that will allow Trump’s team to receive funds from corporations and other wealthy benefactors, potentially in exchange for favors.
Trump Transition Agreement Includes Ability to Raise Unlimited Funds From Private Donors
The agreement could potentially allow donors to pay for access to Trump.

Democrats, take notes.
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.
