Despicable.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.

So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Wrecked the Cult of Trump The Georgia congresswoman’s extraordinary takedown of Trump Tuesday morning sent a signal that no Republican can now ignore.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's big takedown of Trump today is powerful because it broadcasts that he's losing control over the GOP. His sudden call for release of files wasn't about transparency. It was about sustaining the illusion that he controls the party.

"things happen"

Checks and balances got the U.S. through Watergate. Clark Hoyt on what’s gone wrong since: theatln.tc/SOsKwl3P

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Exclusive: Coinbase explains donation to Trump's ballroom Tech firms like Google, Amazon, and Nvidia also donated to Trump's ballroom fund.

Coinbase donated to Trump's $300 million White House ballroom project as an appeal to the administration, Emilie Choi, the cryptocurrency exchange's president and COO, said at Axios' BFD event today.

The farthest Trump’s own Treasury Secretary will go is “I think those commitments are real.”

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

1) this from @marisakabas.bsky.social is good as always

2) as she lays out, part of the problem is there is an entire class of journalist and of publication that is obsessed…OBSESSED with access. if access can be taken away then you need to pull punches

Trump Told a Woman, ‘Quiet, Piggy,’ When She Asked Him About Epstein The comment continues the president’s long-standing pattern of denigrating female journalists.

Donald Trump told a journalist, “Quiet, piggy,” when she asked him about Epstein—continuing his pattern of demeaning women, @isabelfattal.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.

Yes, you fought 6 years for a man who calls anyone who crosses him a "traitor". Go and reflect on that.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Trump’s racial profiling ICE goon army is ripping parents from kids

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

As Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said last week: "Capitulation breeds capitulation."

Disney/ABC's $16 million dollar payout to Trump in December didn't earn the company any special favors today.

Pardoned Capitol rioter tried to bribe child sex victim with promise of Jan. 6 payout, officials say Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, faces multiple charges in Florida, including lewd/lascivious molestation, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.

"A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim."

Trump commuted N.J. con man’s sentence. Now he’s going back to prison for new Ponzi scheme. The Ponzi scheme duped investors out of $44 million.

Trump commuted the sentence of convicted scammer Eliyahi Weinstein in 2021. He's now going back to federal prison for 37 years after being convicted of a committing a new Ponzi scheme involving fraudulent promises of aid to war-torn Ukraine.

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

One for the ages 😱

Bone-sawed body parts don't just "happen."
Disgusting.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

House Bill Seen Causing 51,000 Preventable Deaths Annually Health care scientists warm the “One Big Beautiful Bill” will strip health insurance from millions and cause thousands of preventable deaths annually

Yale & Penn found that literally tens of thousands of people will die because of the Trump Administration’s cuts to healthcare.

The Trump administration is “creating a lot of mistrust out there in the world of the United States and its motives. And once you lose trust, I think it is very difficult to restore it,” the historian Margaret MacMillan tells David Frum.
