Nick Field: "Warner Bros. asked Trump's people how to improve their relationship. Trump's people pointed to the $40 million Bezos paid for Melania's documentary and suggested giving Don Jr. a Discovery hunting show and putting more pro-Trump voices on CNN."
Matthew Yglesias described this as: "Gangster government."

#WSJ #Trump administration is withdrawing from some types of #whitecollar law #enforcement, including cases involving #foreign #bribery, public #corruption, #moneylaundering and #crypto markets effectively redefining what business conduct constitutes a #crime. #WhiteHouse #executiv order in Feb said #bribery prosecutions hurt the ability of #US companies to compete #overseas, punishing them for practices that are #routine in some parts of the world. #WTF https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/doj-is-leaving-some-kinds-of-white-collar-crime-enforcement #ElSalvador
Ah, so that's why the government approved the expansion of Luton Airport.
Huawei fires two staffers in response to corruption scandal.
Huawei has fired two employees and suspended a third for their alleged involvement in a bribery investigation surrounding the Chinese technology giant and the European Parliament, POLITICO has learned.
It is unclear whether the three employees are the same as the Huawei officials who were preliminary charged.
Gee.
I missed this one.

Curious about political tactics? President Elmo's recent Green Bay rally has sparked controversy over his endorsement of Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel and plans to distribute funds to promote his petition. Initially framed as rewards for voting, the scheme faced backlash over potential bribery implications. With checks handed to notable figures, scrutiny increased when a video exposed ulterior motives, leading to a retraction by Musk's America PAC.

Loser says what?
#ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”
It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.
They are incapable of admitting when they lose.
And now go and complain that nobody loves you Elon Musk.

Is Trump all paid up with the Supreme Court's extremist judges, or will Leon Musk have to nudge them a little more?

Why do I get the feeling that corrupt people glorify corruption?
MAGA = Make America Grim Again 
This is f⁕⚠︎ed
#Musk’s “PAC” posted a video of one of his $1M recipient who straight up voted to get the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler, I’m from #Greenbay, #Wisconsin. I did exactly what #ElonMusk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends & family, vote, & now I have a million dollars.”
This should piss off all the moderately-rich petite-bourgeoisie type people. Understand that Trump isn’t your ally (because he isn’t anyone’s ally but his own). Your money will be stolen, and he will pardon the thief if it made him a million dollars.
