Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.

Rote Armee Fraktion / Baader-Meinhof gang were the footsoldiers of the KGB and the Stasi committing murder and acts of sabotage in West Germany. They were provided military equipment, guns and money by the KGB's station in Dresden where the man pictured below, know as Volodya, was their contact.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

I did a big dive to see if I could literally find any labor market variable that was better for native-born workers now than it was in 2024, and couldn't find anything. And, well, nothing. Here are the ten biggest misses, but there's so many more. newsletter.mikekonczal.com/p/can-we-fin...

Shoot the moon! Ten hypotheses, ten charts, and no payoff for native-born workers.

This is 100% correct and the reason it drives me crazy when people talk about Republicans being hypocrites when it comes to debt, complaining about it when Democrats are in power but exploding it when they’re in power. It’s strategy, not hypocrisy.

Twenty-something me, in 1982, before Trump Tower even existed, pegged him as a con-man. It’s flabbergasting that tens of millions of people have been taken in.

Thank you for your well-measured response, a rarity in today’s amped-up social media environment. It does appear that the President - along with some members of his cabinet - is not always quite as scrupulous with facts as one might hope for.
