And […]

Trump’s War on Wind Power Has One Very Big Exception

/

As Donald Trump rolled down the 18th fairway at his Turnberry golf resort in July, he was troubled by a deathly vision, slowly spinning in the Scottish distance: wind turbines. “These things are massive, and you’re looking at these ugly windmills, and it’s a shame,” Trump lamented in an interview with the New York Post—yet […]

Trump’s Mortgage Fraud Smears Backfire on His Administration

/

When New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Donald Trump of committing fraud by lying to banks and insurance companies about the value of his properties, he never really denied it.

Trump Invites World Leaders to Put Money in His Pocket

The U.S. Just Lost Its Perfect Credit Rating Thanks to Trump’s Tax Cuts

/

On Friday evening, Moody’s downgraded the United States’ overall credit-rating—from the highest level of AAA—to one notch lower, AA1, based on years of rising debt and Donald Trump’s tax cut plan, which the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Budget has calculated could add $2.5 trillion more in debt.

ICE Officials Just Admitted to Another Major Deportation Error

/

The Trump administration’s race to deport as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, has led to another major error. This time, the administration is admitting it—and it could have a major effect on deportation lawsuits.

Donald Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in the Middle East Are Staggering

Trump-Linked Lobbyists Are Having a Hopping Good Time

/

Donald Trump doesn’t talk about “draining the swamp” nearly as much as he did in his first term, but his ultra-populist 2024 campaign was built, at least in part, on an anti-Washington message. Yet despite his attack on so many of Washington’s structures, early signs are in that K Street, home to the city’s lobbyists, […]
