We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

So absurd that the Trump administration sought to lift a ban on Nazi symbols at home while having the gall to demand that Ukraine to ban Nazi symbols when *in fact* Ukraine has had a ban in place since 20-friggin-15.

The Trump-Putin deal has more about building AI data centers in both Ukraine and Russia than it does about military positions to deter Russia from attacking again later.

This is the correct take. Whoever is refusing to comply with fascism from inside the Coast Guard, thank you.

To everyone holding the line for democracy from within the government, the American people thank you.
Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

The hubris is in taking the job with zero criminal law experience. Then, to initiate extremely high-profile prosecutions where your every move will be scrutinized is asking for likely embarrassment. This is a triple-A pitcher switching sports and starting as QB in the Super Bowl.
New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's bad bad week
