If Trump lost valued employees to competing offers, one reason might be his company's court-proven practice of requiring employees to participate in tax fraud in order to gain their full compensation. www.reuters.com/legal/trump-...

Trump's new story is that he fell out with Jeffrey Epstein because Trump's most valued employees preferred to go work for a notorious sex offender rather than stay with Trump.

Trump first term message: "Liberal tears and higher wages."

Trump second term message: "Higher taxes on everything you buy to finance my Epstein cover-up and retirement cash-out."

The Trump Presidency’s World-Historical Heist He is taking self-enrichment to a scale never seen before in America.

I wrote in May that Trump's corruption cannot be compared to anything in past US history, not to Watergate, not to Teapot Dome. It's analogs are found in the post-Soviet republics and post-colonial African dictatorships. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

What Will It Cost to Renovate the ‘Free’ Air Force One? Don’t Ask.

Qatar's gift to Donald Trump of a luxury jet for his post-presidential use will cost taxpayers almost $1 billion in carefully concealed Pentagon funds. That's money straight from your taxes to Trump's personal benefit. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...

Socialism Was Dead. Trump Revived It. Capitalism needs better advocates.

Marxist socialists say, "wealth is plunder."

Trump protectionists reply, "exactly - and that's why we brought our plunder sacks with us." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Socialism Was Dead. Trump Revived It. Capitalism needs better advocates.

Planned-economy socialism offered a (bad) answer to the question, "How will you create the social wealth you want to spend?"

The new urban-boutique socialism seems not to be aware of the question at all. Latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Socialism Was Dead. Trump Revived It. Capitalism needs better advocates.

In @theatlantic.com , I try to make sense of how a doctrine as seemingly dead and dusty as socialism could make a comeback www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

New York City: wants more housing, but hates house-builders. My dialogue with @repritchie.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kIS...

The Trump administration has violated trade treaties - including those signed by Trump himself - to launch unprovoked and unjustifiable economic aggression against Canada. A US ambassador is paid to do PR for that outrage, but he won't find willing volunteers to help him.

Hoekstra calls out the quiet "There's no advocates for the Canadian-American relationship."

US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra had the nerve to give a speech scolding Canadian business leaders for not defending US policies. It's not reasonable to ask businesspeople to jettison their intellect and integrity to defend the indefensible. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
