Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

With Congress Pliant, an Emboldened Trump Pushes His Business Interests Norms recognized for decades in Washington by both parties no longer appear to apply to the Trump White House, former prosecutors and ethics lawyers say.

The quickening pace of corruption - the brazen use of the White House to enrich himself and his friends - is stunning.

Trump and Elon's 'Pointless Bloodbath' at the FAA Is Even Worse Than You Think Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless or drunk pilots out of the skies. Officials are baffled.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA:
- Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies
- Air traffic control support staff
- Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes
- Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

Trump Administration Halts H.I.V. Drug Distribution in Poor Countries (Gift Article) PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

'A very bad idea': Two economists respond to White House citing them on 20% tariffs Stephen Miran, the new head of the Council of Economic Advisors, cited work by researchers Arnaud Costinot and Andres Rodriguez-Clare to justify Trump's plans for high tariffs.
