Noah Smith: “Trump appears to be corrupt on a scale that dwarfs anything any other President or American leader of any kind has ever dared. Because of his cultlike status that keeps the rest of the GOP in line, he’s unlikely to suffer any direct consequences.

But the effect on America’s international standing will be real. The U.S. will appear to be a country that can be bought and sold very cheaply”

This is the definition of how you get bad intelligence: Fire officials who tell you things that you don't like

Here's what a luxury jet can get you these days

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump to the Emir of Qatar, who just gifted him a $400M jet:

“I just want to thank you for everything and maybe in particular our friendship. It’s been a loyal, great beautiful friendship. The job you’ve done is second to none.”

(Qatar is hosting Hamas leaders and has funded the terrorist group with over $2 billion.)

@AndyB213 @SpencerHakimian @JoJoFromJerz You should give investment advice professionally. You're quite the genius. Nothing could ever get past a mind like yours. 😂

A tiny Chinese company owned by same people that own TikTok just bought $300,000,000 of $TRUMP Coin.

Now why do you think they did that?

🧐👀

[The Reagan Caucus @NewReaganCaucus]

It's interesting how many MAGA people spread the debunked propaganda about Zelenskyy receiving $400 million in USAID.

Meanwhile, Trump accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar, and they don't even care.

Really great to see @RoKhanna stand up for tracking - removing advanced classes from schools is literally the single most unpopular policy we've ever polled

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The anti-abundance people are DESPERATE for a shred of evidence saying that building more housing doesn't reduce rents.

And every time they think they've found one, it turns out to be bullshit.

Former conservative DOJ official: “I can’t recall an attorney general who seemed willing to be subordinate to White House staffers."

NEW: Internal University of Arizona emails we obtained show that the college has lost $60.3 million in federal research funds as of May 2. Meanwhile, the European Commission is putting together a $500m package to lure US scientists

NEW: Bondi's firing of DOJ's Erez Reuveni for admitting a Md. man was mistakenly deported to El Salvador hit morale at its immigration unit.

Prosecutor Joseph Darrow quit in protest citing violations of law, Constitution & lack of "fairness and humanity” in his final email.

@CathyYoung63 @girltummyfan @mattyglesias There are only two kinds of people in America: MAGA and "The left."

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He is giving favors to nations, and in exchange he is asking not for security concessions for the United States, but cash payments for himself. This isn't a normal moment and we shouldn't act like it.

[Sunny @sunnyright]

My RINO sellout take is that the president should not accept a $400 million “gift” from an Islamist terror state that sponsors the kidnapping and murder of Americans.

No matter how much it benefits him personally.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to habeas corpus?

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar?

How many Republicans--and Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump?

The answer: vanishingly close to zero.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Trump should accept as many planes as possible and fly in them right away. No need for the security features built into Airforce One.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

Note how almost everything MAGA screamed at Democrats about - inflation, spending, deficits, regulations, price controls, airline chaos, corruption. executive power grabs, stomping dissent, ignoring courts - Trump is tripling down on. So none of their criticism was in good faith.
