This is actually a good story by the New York Times' Peter Baker. But as usual, the editors ran it through their Euphemism Desk so the headline talks about Trump "moving ethical lines" instead of saying flat-out that the president is deeply corrupt and is putting your money in his pocket.

How Trump Moved Ethical Lines With His Ads, Businesses and Summits (Gift Article)
The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

Republicans failed to even try to challenge the substance of Smith’s case against Trump
It’s not that Trump’s allies made an effort but fell short; it’s that they didn’t even try to contest the underlying criminal indictments.
