The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Sorry, I’m sure I sound abysmally negative in a celebratory moment, but it’s important to know that UC admin have fought us every step of the way as we attempted to stand up for our university. It’s become very clear to many of us that they view the values we cherish as impediments to their work.

hey, another round of applause for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social, who has taken very significant risks and flack for being the first to come forward with stories about what an abusive POS Cuomo is.
She's the one who started these dominoes a-topplin'.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

You can’t gleefully cheer on the demonization and firing of civil servants in the place they all live then be upset that your neighbors don’t care if you live or die. Vogt said he wanted government employees scared to go to work, this is the political environment they built.
