"President Biden's conversations for a book a decade ago that discussed his late son are private, and were provided to the Department of Justice on the express condition they stay that way," said TJ Ducklo. "Reversing course and making them public is just the latest example of this Administration weaponizing the DOJ for political retribution."…

Judge Says EPA Illegally Canceled a $2.8 Billion Environmental Justice Program – Mother Jones

As Jackson warned, it’s hard to view it as a coincidence that a Supreme Court majority built on fossil fuel money went out of its way to help the industry. Indeed, the case is emblematic of a broader distortion of American law. Billionaires and the industries they run have a well-monied thumb on the scales of justice, an oligarchic influence operation that, among other tactics, funds a flood of amici to push the justices toward a preferred outcome…

The $5.02 ghost: Trump’s team faces a symbolic blow to one of its favorite economic talking points - POLITICO

That possibility portends poorly heading into election season. 

“There is definitely a concern of just not gas, but everything — all these benchmark costs being more under Trump than under Biden,” said one of the former Trump administration officials. “Inflation is higher today than when Biden handed off the administration to Trump, that’s what they’re concerned about. … They’re freaking out about meat prices that they’re literally threatening Justice Department investigations into price fixing. I think they look at every benchmark and have concerns.”

DOJ says Biden unfairly targeted anti-abortion activists : NPR

"DOJ's current leaders' textbook cruelty and hypocrisy are on full display in this report. They insist on zealous advocacy by career staff in advancing the President's priorities, while shaming and firing those who did just that in the prior administration," Young, with Justice Connection, said in a statement. She was referring to Bondi's memo that required department attorneys to "zealously" defend and protect the interests of the U.S., as set by the president. 

"They've put career employees on notice: if they do their jobs, they face potential termination if future political leadership disagrees with the policy goals of prior leadership," Young added…

Nick Fuentes’s Strategy is Working (The Atlantic)

Viral clips of the far-right white supremacist are growing his audience. 

 “Trump is better than the Democrats for Israel. For the oil and gas industry. For Silicon Valley. For Wall Street. Is he really better for us? I don’t think so,” Fuentes declared while gazing at the camera in one of these fan-uploaded clips. “Biden made it so that medical debt doesn’t go on your credit report—that was good for me. Biden tried to forgive the student loans—that was good for me.” Retouched in a tasteful black and white, the video featured an orchestral soundtrack that crescendoed as the fast-talking, besuited polemicist delivered his final punch: “The free market says that Republicans have enough money to bomb Iran but not enough money to pay for my student loans. And I’m going to vote for that ’cause I’m an idiot.”
