Let’s not doubt Trump reportedly agreeing to take $1.7 billion of our taxpayer money rather than $10 billion is any less of an egregious abuse of power.

I just want to point out that the WHCD took place in a ballroom. Holding it in a different ballroom wouldn’t make it safer. The administration chose not to designate the WHCD as a “National Special Security Event.” That’s the difference.

It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.
