In his latest delusional exaggeration, RFK Junior just asserted that the Biden campaign will spend $3 billion to keep him off the ballot.
Not every nut job wears a tinfoil hat.

Pure pleasure to hear Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson today on NPR's SCOTUS broadcast.

Ignoring the angels dancing on the head of a pin arguments, in a few smart questions KBJ shredded Donald J. Trump's criminal immunity claim.

KBJ is THE court's top legal scholar.

The super MAGA junior senator from Ohio is even more dangerous than Trump.
He wants to centuries of international law and diplomacy in ways that will lead to endless wars and the rise of tyrannical dictators POLITICO profile quoting him reveals.

My latest piece explains how Trump can make a fortune by watering the stock of the collapsing DJT company—and it's perfectly legal!

Being nominated for this award is meaningless because anybody can be nominated.

This is just the latest example of Trump's ignorance and desperate, immature need for affirmation.

Want to understand Donald J. Trump's plan
to water DJT stock by issuing millions of new shares, and how that puts money in his pocket and those of his bankers?

So today, Donald J. Trump moved to water his stock, selling more shares, which reduces the value of existing shares. The market didn't react well.
DJT shares fell even more today, down to $26.58 right now, a 66% decline from the March 26 peak of $79.38.

Young men of several races have been accused of punching young women in the face without reason or warning.
Violent misogyny illustrates our failure to teach moral conduct, especially to young men, and to reject the many politicians who urge violence.

Racists lynched two innocent men on this day in 1906, even though their boss said they were at work during the purported crime.
That's what racism does—turn 'poorly educated' people into violent murderous mobs.
These white people had the audacity to call themselves Christians.

Pfizer, others siphon untaxed profits out of US via internal licensing deals, as I explained in The New York Times & my 2003 bestseller Perfectly Legal.

This forces a 0% interest loan from US govt.

Investing loan $ in time converts tax into profit, as an 1,800-page JCT study confirmed.
