- Of course the Trumps’ massive payday from the UAE — prior to the White House easing chip restrictions on the UAE — is a huge national security risk and financial conflict of interest. And a GOP-led Congress won’t do anything about it: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

- Reposted by Lawrence O'DonnellDon't agree with Cato Inst on much. But: Very glad they have quantified what has been obvious for years.
- The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

- Trump hallucinates about phone calls that never happened with foreign leaders & Cabinet laughs at him instead of invoking 25th amendment removal process.
- Trump: "I spoke with Macron. He was not at that time wearing sunglasses. He said, 'No no Donald. I will not do this. You're asking me to double drug prices?' I said, 'If you don't, I'm gonna charge you a 25% tariff on your wines, champagnes, & everything else.' He said, 'Like I said, I will do it.'"

- New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel. This is the wrong metaphor for ICE and CBP. The barrel itself is rotten. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

Also Elon Musk: "Anyone who teaches students that America was built on stolen land is guilty of treason and should be imprisoned." Look, some of us tried to warn people that Elon Musk doesn't care one bit about free speech. But did anyone listen?
