The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the appearance of corruption promotes corruption.

I've heard execs/Wall St analysts take comfort in fact that consumer spending has held up even as consumer views of the economy are tanking. After all, revealed preferences matter! But I wonder how much of that disconnect could be explained by cases like this (from a reader):

As bad as Hegseth is (and almost every other cabinet official), the worst for our country, by far, is JFK Jr. I'm pretty sure Hegseth won't bomb any of our bases, but JFK Jr. is attacking our nation's health. Which epidemic will hit first, Measles or Bird Flu?

Just spoke with my CDC sources. RFK Jr. has reportedly instructed officials to stay silent on bird flu transmission and avoid testing farm workers with symptoms. This is a direct attempt to suppress vital information. Pandemics begin with secrecy and cover-ups.

Important to remember: Freight volume isn’t just a trucking issue—it’s an early indicator for manufacturing, retail, and employment trends nationwide. A collapse here signals ripple effects that could reshape local economies, job markets, and consumer prices. Pay attention; this affects us all.

Sure seems like Trump is manipulating the markets to turn a profit. Shouldn't that be illegal?

Olympics history: There were no women's shooting events until after a woman medaled, and no mixed events after a woman won gold.

If you look at where our government spends money, and compare to other countries around the world, the "obvious" place to cut spending is in the DOD. Especially if we're thinking of leaving NATO and becoming a hermit kingdom. Wouldn't that be the logical choice, given current thinking?
