Cool move: Trump’s sons team up with banned foreign partners, sneak in fine print exempting the family from taxes, & Treasury just shrugs when asked. Scot-free has a new ring to it now. Corrupt Republicans keep protecting their guy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

John Brennan didn't wait to get indicted. He sued first—to force the government to preserve records he'll need to defend himself. The complaint alleges judge shopping, forum shopping & a direct presidential demand for indictment. Worth your full attention. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

JUST IN: Disappointing June jobs report under Trump. The U.S. added just 57,000 jobs — well below the 115,000 expected. Hospitality lost 61,000 jobs. April and May numbers revised down by 74,000. Wage growth (3.5%) is lagging behind inflation (~4%). Trump’s economy is stalling.

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.
