Narrator: Sadly though, SCOTUS has now exempted the president from the founders’ intent to criminalize bribery.
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

A reminder from the archives: Ukrainians are not asking to hide behind the shield of NATO; they are asking for recognition from the alliance whose peace they have bled and died to protect. NATO and Ukraine need each other. @garrykasparov.bsky.social explains why:
Ukraine Needs NATO—and NATO Needs Ukraine, Too
Arguments against admitting Ukraine into the alliance aren’t convincing.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?
Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
