On Wall Street this afternoon, stocks are cratering after Zohran Mam— wait, hold on a moment, we’re getting some new information…

Mike Johnson’s claim that Trump was an FBI informant against Epstein is ludicrous — and it’s a reminder that he’s in way over his head.
For the speaker to then walk it back and have the episode all blow over shows again how desperately reporters need Johnson’s aides as sources.

“PSF WAV” — Allison Gill gets the receipts.

A newly completed investigation by Wyoming’s largest county found no evidence of noncitizen voting in the 2024 elections, undercutting claims used to justify the state’s controversial proof of citizenship law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GOP 2021: “The debt is out of control!

GOP 2022: “the debt is out of control!”

GOP 2023: “the debt is out of control

GOP 2024: “the debt is out of control!”

GOP 2025: ”let’s raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion!”

"Liberate the city"

What does that mean?

The Trump Administration should be asked by every reporter.

Let’s keep our heads in the game, shall we?

Rep. Jason Smith: "And then you can look at Medicaid cuts -- Medicaid reforms, I should say."

Oops.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

😜

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth:

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Newsweek: We used to be great, but now we’re just clickbait.
USA Today: Hold my beer.

“Our national discourse is now so elevated, other world leaders come to me with tears in their eyes and say, ‘Sir…’”

Who is the “he” here? 🧐

Thank you, Allison Gill.

If the big Wall Street firms had one nut between them, they would issue a prompt joint statement affirming the Fed’s independence.
Alas, they’re cowards.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

The administration has admitted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported. They fired a lawyer for telling the truth (even tho it was her responsibility as an officer of the court). The govt should bring him back (and it could) but it won't. And Republicans are SILENT. Never forget this moment.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC.

Support independent, pro-democracy media.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Don’t forget Scarborough.

To everyone replying “they voted for it” when we talk about immigrant rights:

The Hispanic community is NOT a monolith and 53% voted for Harris.

We organized, knocked on doors, and led weekly caravans for Harris-Walz.

Blanket statements erase the work of a community that showed up for democracy.

Trump directs Justice Dept. to probe officials who opposed him in first term The targeting of former cybersecurity official Chris Krebs and former homeland security official Miles Taylor reflects the president’s escalating quest for retribution.

This is straight-up authoritarian rule, seeking to punish one's perceived enemies for doing nothing more than telling the truth. These men are patriots and heroic. This isn't supposed to happen in a democracy.

Can't come soon enough.

I would love to see a "Pump and Dump" tab on the CNBC home page, right there next to Markets, Tech, Investing and Politics. That would be lit.

Ron Vara would like a word.

Dump and pump and how many times is the market going to fall for this. Trump has to make headlines and lead the news cycle every day. He has such a fragile ego.

Man, you guys have your finger on the pulse of Amurika!
