Notice the pattern: help a narrow group loudly, hurt everyone else quietly. Tariffs help a few steel workers but raise prices for every firm using steel. Tax cuts favor the rich while squeezing social programs. Politically noisy wins, economically costly losses.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Americans can't afford groceries, housing, healthcare or utilities.
Trump's answer:
Give another $67 billion tax break to Big Tech, and their billionaires who gave him millions in donations, to write off their R&D retroactively.
This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

4. Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.?
Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence.

So the President must have to power to dictate every decision (because democracy) even if there is a democratic consensus that certain functions should be carried out by independent agencies? And this democracy-preserving conmand is issued by an unelected judicial House of Lords?
Got it.

In the Trump administration's own words, from yesterday's oral argument: the president “must have the power to control” administrative agencies, and “the one who has the power to remove is the person that they have to fear and obey” 🥴
