David Waldman returns, only to depart again. But that does not mean he can’t sit down and talk awhile!

Vendors are filing out of the 2025 Middle East Global Scam Expo today. This year’s ScamSpo headliners were an impressive list of world-class scum suckers, though some might assert that they lack the gravitas of past douche nuggets. If you are collecting plutocrat trading cards, now is the time to pick up a Dina Powell.

It will take Donald K. Trump the weekend to pack all of his gift bags, but he might not yet be able to show off his big beautiful Emolument 747. Meh, Donald has 3-11 more years to top that swag.

Trump can hardly wait to get home and let Don Jr. try out his new bone saw. Tulsi Gabbard canned intelligence officials that she caught acting too intelligently, while She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi, shall add humiliation to her toolbox of torture. If they run out of ideas, the 17 Mexican cartel members Trump brought into the US are certain to have some innovative suggestions. Team Trump is getting pretty good at disappearing people. RFK Jr. doesn’t remember those hundreds of scientists that were in his department a moment ago. The DHS misplaced who knows how many people. The FAA is pretty certain that fewer than 3000 air traffic controllers are MIA, but definitely more than one. The ICC’s chief prosecutor isn’t even certain that he’s still there anymore.

The Gop TLDR bill is having a tough time, because folks keep giving out spoilers to them.  Republicans think they have a way to get around the filibuster… so do the Democrats. SCOTUS obviously can’t outright deny birthright citizenship, so obviously they will need to get craftier.
