O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

"When Biden was misleadingly and incorrectly accused of calling Trump supporters β€œgarbage,” it was a constant news story. But when Trump literally fantasizes about dumping shit on people exercising their constitutional rights, it’s euphemized away, played down, and discounted."

"I feel like we need to emphasize this: the President posted a video of himself dumping shit on people peacefully protesting. When Hillary Clinton suggested some of Trump’s followers were β€œdeplorables,” it was a months-long story."

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens.

β€œIf the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States,” Kavanaugh wrote, β€œthey promptly let the individual go.”

But that is far from the reality many citizens have experienced."

Kavanaugh is a liar.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Frankly, I’d rather have Hegseth doing push-up contests than running the military. He should resign to pursue that full time.

Trump defends use of U.S. military against 'enemy within' Earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the purpose of the department would exclusively be "war fighting."

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."
