Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Raskin: Perhaps he could have yelled fore on the greenway so tens of millions of Americans could have taken our retirement savings out of the stock market before he hit us in the head with a golf ball

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

“We’re Americans” 🇺🇸 😕

This hasn't gotten enough attention.

Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins

1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives

2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility

Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)

Indiana Rep Spartz (R): “You violated the law, you are not entitled to due process.”

Dangerously ignorant. 🇺🇸

New York Times: Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots. Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.”

For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good.

Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Ben Meiselas: This is a time for fearless coverage. There's so much to report about every single day—what's going on in the White House every single day.. pushing back on that every day and saying it in a way that doesn't mince words. And I think that's what's connecting with our audience.

This is the most dangerous move yet The canary is gasping for air

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

He nails it.

Jessica: You say if Joe Biden had done this… If Joe Biden showed up at the Daytona 500, while there were people living under emergency declarations and passing away….

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

This Is the Way to Stop Elon Musk Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower qualified minorities could get hired instead of more highly qualified white people, it was put in place to ensure lower qualified white people were note hired instead of more highly qualified minorities says Calvin to Hobbes.

DEI explained… the real way!

DNC Chair Martin: He said he was going to bring down the cost of goods on day one—he hasn’t done that. The cost of eggs has increased dramatically. He’s done nothing at all in the first three weeks to bring down the cost of goods and help people who are working their asses off to get ahead in life.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!

My fam knew what that meant.

THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”
