Law Firms That Settled With Trump Are Pressed to Help on Trade Deals

Wasn't this always going to be the price of the "pro buono" work - to get free legal advice on whatever deal he decides to make. Makes the concept of pro buono rather sickening but then it always is with 47.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, youโ€™ll quickly find that people donโ€™t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

Bessent Has Yet to Fully Divest Assets, Raising Concern at Ethics Agency

Looks like 47 hired the right mouthpiece. Not only is his credibility shot but he's playing games with the "truth" and pulling a con. He's in the right group. Clearly wants to look like Mr Conservative but it's all for show ain't it Bessent - the laws don't apply to the wealthy white guys like you.

Just how much has DOGE exaggerated its numbers? Now we have receipts. A POLITICO analysis of DOGE data reveals the organization saved less than 5 percent of its claimed savings from nearly 10,100 contract terminations.

Why Trumpโ€™s War on the Drug Cartels Is Bound to Backfire The presidentโ€™s punishment-heavy plan doesnโ€™t just ignore other factors โ€” it actively undermines itself.

Of course it will - doesn't most of what he does? There is no strategy, there's just edicts, dictums and transactional moves.

I do love how one of the UKโ€™s most virulently anti-migrant publications is now helpfully publishing guides on how you can become a migrant.
