“Many of his voters wanted to see Trump take a jackhammer to Washington, but I’m not sure they meant it this literally,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes.

MAGA lobbying firms are booming. This is where their money goes. Business is booming for MAGA-aligned lobbyists in Washington.

Lobbying expenditures overall have been up 21 percent this year compared with the same period in 2024, according to a Post analysis.

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

The president’s penchant for gold was merely cartoonish during his real estate and casino days. Now he’s turning the White House into his own golden goose.

Opinion | George Santos and President Trump’s Theory of Mercy More than any other presidential actions, clemencies tell us who presidents are.

In @nytopinion

Clemency for George Santos “wasn’t even really about him but rather about the president who granted it. Mercy, which was and remains the proper justification for the pardon power, had nothing to do with it,” Jeffrey Toobin writes.

UK’s China Spying Scandal Is a ‘Slow Horses’ Plot Life imitates art, sometimes too well. The Soviet double agent Kim Philby was so impressed by the work of John le Carre that he asked to meet the doyen of British spy novelists in Moscow in the late 1980s. Le Carre declined. The China spy scandal currently gripping UK politics and media is again redolent of a fictional milieu — but this time the action resembles more closely the chaotic world of Slow Horses, where sloppiness, confusion and infighting are the norm.
