Rich man to be charged with stopping the government from wasting money is angry that the government isn't wasting money on his company.

Nothing to see here. No, no conflict of interest. Nothing.

They got the idea from Ronald Reagan, who got Iran to agree not to release the hostages until he was president, who got the idea from Richard Nixon, who got South Vietnam to agree not to agree to peace before he was president.

Who cares if Americans get killed? Republicans wanted power.

Trump EPA pick Lee Zeldin was reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars by secret clients to write op-eds spreading climate denial propaganda.

Zeldin's benefactors could yield big returns if he guts environmental protections.

The conflicts of interest are just so blatant.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting.

Someone remind Joe Biden that he has full immunity for official acts, like pardoning anyone he feels like pardoning, telling the IRS to release all of Trump's tax returns, and telling the DOJ to release Jack Smith's report and any non-classified evidence from Donald's many cases.
