If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This was a bribe. UAE royals gave the Trump family $500 million, and Trump, in his presidential capacity, gave them access to tightly guarded American AI chips. The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt.

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal. The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling. But will this Congress, which brayed endlessly about the "Biden crime family," probe it? Not a chance.

Renee Good’s killing catalyzed something and has stuck in the news, even amid a lot of competing stories. And the White House’s position on Pretti is even harder to defend. natesilver.net/p/trump-is-lo…

Trump is losing normies on immigration

Americans might want more border enforcement, but they don't want ICE agents killing civilians.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The Nazi architect who designed Auschwitz’s facilities for incinerating Jews on an industrial scale went into private practice after the war. He designed churches and received a papal honor — but never paid for his crimes. Here's my @BostonGlobe column. bostonglobe.com/2026/01/25/o…

The drawing that killed my father’s family - The Boston Globe

What a pristine Nazi blueprint reveals about professional complicity in genocide.
