Equatorial Guinea is routinely ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It has been ruled by the same person since 1982 - for 45 years. Despite the title of President, he rules with near-absolute power.
The Trump admin just deposited $7.5 million in his government's bank account.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.
Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

“If you tilt some of the most commonly cited data points this way or that, you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all.”

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

Note two important things here:
Jones defeated an incumbent, AG Jason Miyares.
And, this means one less key AG siding with Trump — and another AG and AG's Office that will be litigating against Trump.
