If you watch the deposition of Jack Smith, you'll conclude as a matter of necessity that Donald Trump should be in a federal prison right now rather than the White House. He's only living outside a cage due to dumb luck. And all of us are paying the price.

A Spanish investigation has concluded that the Russian cargo ship Ursa Major, which sank off the coast of Cartagena in December 2024, was carrying two VM-4SG nuclear reactor hulls intended for North Korea. The ship may have been sunk by Russia to hide the evidence.

To be sure, Joe Biden had some embarrassing gaffes, and his Atlanta debate performance made clear he wasn't up for a second term
But never once did Biden blurt out the details of a CIA covert op by going on a B-list radio show
Can you imagine the uproar if he had?

![INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the Court's December 17, 2025 memorandum order, ECF 17, the National Trust
for Historic Preservation in the United States ("National Trust") submits this supplemental brief in
further support of its motion for a preliminary injunction ("Motion"), ECF 2. The National Trust responds to the three questions posed by the Court's December 17 order. ECF 17 at 4; see infra at
8-21. The National Trust also addresses several other issues raised by the Defendants' recent filings and by certain representations of counsel at the December 16, 2025 hearing. See id. (permitting
the parties to address "any other issues [they] wish to raise"); see infra at 21-42.
Along with its supplemental brief, the National Trust has filed an amended complaint,
which revises the National Trust's original complaint in two principal ways. First, it adds four new
defendants: (1) the Executive Office of the President ("EOP"); (2) Susie Wiles, in her official
capacity as White House Chief of Staff; (3) the Office of the Executive Residence ("OER"); and
(4) Robert B. Downing, in his official capacity as White House Chief Usher.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreif2ky35wdcvc7owtb4pkxrtxisj5umt3di2mbk5a7cs245wbjbsbu@jpeg)

This is the very essence of Twitter under Musk. Did you know that the biggest Medicare fraudster in Minnesota—Philip Esformes—is a well known MAGA activist who was pardoned by Trump? He then moved to Florida, where he was arrested again for fraud activities. Medicare fraudsters should be prosecuted
