Trump claims he’s cut drug prices by “1,500 percent”

YouTube video by The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart Mehdi Hasan on the Media, Democrats & The Crisis In Gaza | The Weekly Show

My 'The Weekly' podcast interview this week with Jon Stewart on Trump, fascism, feckless Dems, Merrick Garland's role, Gaza, Israel, the corporate media, and more, has been getting a lot of love online, and positive feedback, and just crossed 1 million views on YouTube.

Have you watched it yet?

NEW. U Mass Poll.

We’re back tonight at 11:02pm on HBO and 11pm sharp on HBO Max! And that two minutes? Constitutes the vital difference between cable and streaming. “Wait, what difference exactly?” Look, if you have to ask, you’ll never know.

When people talk about having two systems of justice, this is what they mean.

Then maybe they shouldn’t have voted to make ICE the highest funded law enforcement agency in our history?

Whatever is in there must be incredibly bad.

“Scientists. Scientists!”

Never anticipated that my profession would become a symbol of how important institutions are under attack, but here we are.

BREAKING: In a First, Majority of Democratic Senators Vote to Stop Arming Israel 26 Democrats joined Bernie Sanders in his effort to end certain weapons' sales to Israel - but were blocked by 70 pro-war senators, including every Republican present. Here's how the vote went.

BREAKING: In a First, Majority of Democratic Senators Vote to Stop Arming Israel

26 Democrats joined Bernie Sanders in his effort to end certain weapons' sales to Israel - but were blocked by 70 pro-war senators, including every Republican present.

Here are the details, from Prem Thakker:

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.

That's a wrap for @juliacon.bsky.social 2025 for me! 💥

Great meeting JuliaHealth folks in person, having our first-ever Mini-Symposium, & planning for the ecosystem! Thanks to all who attended!

Ready to recharge & build #opensource!

P.S. Snagged our annual #julialang @frame.work group photo too!

Tulsi Gabbard is using a White House press briefing to accuse Hillary Clinton of using tranquilizers. Dystopian stuff.

Trump spelling out the Obama accusation is an attempt to distract from the Epstein story.

But...the NYT said Trump deflected political fallout from his base over Epstein, did the Republican reps not read the NYT?

So I... erm... agreed to do the Jubilee 'Surrounded' debate. Me versus 20 far-right conservatives.

And it was like nothing I've done before. Sheesh. I had no idea they'd be so extreme and racist.

Full episode/debate drops on YouTube on Sunday morning.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

Tweet reading: AOC is to the right of Marjorie Taylor Greene

Desperately need people to learn to be able to tell the difference between opposing genocide and just being an antisemite who hates Israel on those grounds

It was exactly 6 months ago that this administration issued blanket pardons to everyone involved in the January 6 insurrection.

Bar chart titled “Republican Turnout Surpassed Democratic Turnout in Every State in 2024.” It shows the turnout differential (Republican minus Democratic) in percentage points across U.S. states using 2024 general election voter file data. All states with available data, except the District of Columbia, show higher turnout rates for registered Republicans than for registered Democrats. Bars are color-coded: blue for Democratic advantage (only D.C.), and red for Republican advantage. Georgia has the highest Republican turnout advantage at +22.6 percentage points, followed by Texas at +21.5 pp, and South Carolina at +19.1 pp. The median differentials are generally above +5 pp in most states. The chart also includes R and D turnout percentages for each state, with D.C. showing a Democratic turnout of 72.7% vs. Republican turnout of 63.9%. States with modeled partisanship or missing 2024 data are noted in the footnote.

Which party turned out more in 2024? Official turnout records show registered Republicans had higher turnout rates than Democrats everywhere but DC (avg gap R+7 pts).

That’s hard to square with the narrative that Democrats now benefit when fewer people vote.

16. The Article was published in The Wall Street Journal as an exclusive.' However, since publication, Defendants have widely disseminated it to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

WSJ claimed the Trump–Epstein article was an “exclusive.” But what if I told you they fully intended to show it to people? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.

They’re trying to set a record for the most white guys in suits in one shot ever

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:

- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval

Goodbye, separation of church and state Churches now have extra special speech rights, thanks to Trump.

New in PN: Goodbye, separation of church and state

"Now only churches get the benefit of not paying taxes *and* get to work to influence elections. Not because Congress changed the law. Just because the executive branch threw it in a random court filing. That's not how democracy is meant to work."

Senate Approves Trump’s Bid to Cancel Foreign Aid and Funds for NPR and PBS Stations The bill to claw back $9 billion in congressionally approved spending passed over the objections of Republicans who said it abdicated the legislative branch’s power of the purse.

Breaking News: The Senate approved a White House request to cancel $9 billion for foreign aid and public broadcasting. The House is expected to pass the bill.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

REPORTER: Why did you give Putin another 50 days?

TRUMP: I don't think it's a long time. I think really the question should be asked, why did Biden get us into that ridiculous war? Why did Biden bring us there? This is Biden's war.

The real takeaway here is funny as hell. This doesn’t mean someone killed JE. The FBI etc have had this video for a long time.

It means they are very stupid and incompetent and are now unleashing a monster they created (the QAnon deep state conspiracy monster) upon themselves which is lol
