EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking. I spoke with more than 2 dozen people with knowledge of his conduct, some of whom described it as a national security vulnerability. @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/politics/202…

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.

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.

MUST WATCH: @ShabbosK's superb closing remarks in his debate with the Israel-hating antisemite Michael Rectenwald is brilliant — a tour de force of facts, figures, and logic.
