This week, the Trump admin and Alaska officials announced a ~$50 billion investment by the South Korean government into an Alaska liquefied-natural-gas pipeline. The rub: South Koreans didn’t agree to a specific dollar figure—or even to invest at all. 👀

South Korea Contests U.S. Claims of New $50 Billion Alaska Investment
The Trump administration asserted this week that South Korea will fund an LNG pipeline, but Seoul is disputing the status of negotiations.

Susan Collins claims that @propublica.org’s reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. 📽️ Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi...

If Alito made them his friends in the first place, presumably he valued their judgment. Maybe give that some thought. To the folks who were friends with Samuel Alito, I'm sorry you were that lonely. To the folks who dropped him, I'm glad you weren't that lonely.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.
