Round two. My topic:
America practices strict capitalism for the poor—and open socialism for the wealthy.
If you’re struggling:
“Figure it out.” “Work harder.” “No handouts.”
If you’re powerful:
Bailouts. Tax breaks. Subsidies.
Same system. Different rules. Strict for the poor. Soft for the rich.
🚨 This Is Not A Normal Campaign Ad.
Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and other progressive candidates are running as a team and asking New Yorkers to vote for the entire slate.
Their message is simple:
Elect all of us, and we’ll take on billionaires, landlords, and corporate power together.
🔥 That’s what makes this ad interesting.
They’re not selling individual candidates.
They’re selling a governing coalition.
Now New York voters get to decide whether they want a team…
or a check on one.
Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.
Rep. Robert Garcia Just Escalated The Epstein Fight.
Garcia accused the administration of withholding records to protect Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and potential co-conspirators connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
"We cannot take Todd Blanche's word."
Garcia says the public is being asked to trust conclusions while key files remain hidden from view.
That's why Democrats keep returning to the same demand:
Release the documents.
Because as long as major portions of the Epstein files remain sealed, redacted, or disputed, allegations of a cover-up aren't going away.
JUST IN: Benjamin Netanyahu just thanked Congress for Section 224 of the NDAA.
That should probably get your attention.
Foreign leaders don’t usually thank Congress for provisions they don’t consider important.
Section 224 creates a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” focused on joint weapons development, data sharing, and deeper military coordination. (Al Jazeera)
Go read Section 224.
Marco Rubio Said He Had Never Seen Trump Fall Asleep In A Meeting.
Then Congress played a video.
The footage showed Trump appearing to doze off during a cabinet meeting while Rubio was speaking.
Elizabeth Warren Just Exposed The Double Standard In One Exchange.
Scott Bessent has argued that members of Congress shouldn't trade individual stocks because of the conflicts of interest it creates.
Then Warren pointed out that Trump disclosed more than $250 million in stock trades while simultaneously making decisions that could affect those same companies.
Her question was simple:
If those conflict-of-interest concerns apply to Congress, why don't they apply to the president?
Bessent never answered directly.
Instead, he kept returning to Congress.
Elizabeth Warren Asked Scott Bessent The Same Question Four Times.
He Never Answered It.
Warren pointed out that Bessent has previously argued suspicious stock trading by members of Congress should trigger scrutiny.
Then she asked whether the same standard should apply to Trump's stock trading.
Instead of answering, Bessent repeatedly redirected the conversation back to Congress.

🚨BREAKING: Mark Warner Just Tore Into Trump's Pick To Lead U.S. Intelligence.
Warner argued that Bill Pulte has no intelligence background, no national security experience, and no security clearance.
Then he pointed to something else:
A record of using government-held mortgage information to pursue Trump's perceived political enemies.
Now, Warner says, that same person is being handed access to some of the nation's most sensitive classified information.
His conclusion was blunt:
"I wish someone in the White House would have told the emperor he has no clothes."
Elizabeth Warren Just Raised A Question That Could Follow Trump For The Rest Of His Presidency.
According to his latest financial disclosure, Trump made more than 3,400 stock trades worth over $250 million in just the first three months of 2026.
Warren noted that's roughly half the trading activity of all 535 members of Congress combined last year.
Her argument:
A president can move markets with tariffs, sanctions, executive orders, and foreign policy decisions.
When the same person can influence stock prices and trade stocks, scrutiny is inevitable.
Pakistan has announced that the men convicted of gang-raping a French tourist in front of her three children after her car ran out of fuel will be executed.
Marco Rubio Tried To Defend Trump's Stamina.
Instead, he may have raised more questions.
Asked about reports concerning Trump's alertness, Rubio insisted the president doesn't sleep much at all.
His evidence?
"He's calling me at 2 in the morning."
"He's calling me at 5 in the morning."
Rubio's point was that Trump is constantly working and engaged.
But the exchange highlights something else:
The White House is increasingly making Trump's unusual schedule part of the case for his fitness, arguing that his long hours are proof of energy rather than a cause for concern.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
🚨 Scott Pelley Just Made An Extraordinary Accusation Against CBS Leadership.
In a written statement, Pelley says executives instructed him to "inject falsehoods and bias" into a politically sensitive story.
He says he refused.
🔥 Think about what that means.
This isn't a dispute over ratings, budgets, or personalities.
It's one of America's most respected journalists accusing his own newsroom leadership of trying to alter the facts of a story.
CBS has not publicly responded to the allegation.
But if Pelley's claim is true, the fight at CBS is no longer about who runs 60 Minutes.
It's about whether editorial independence still exists inside the building.
🚨 The Most Shocking Part Of The Alabama Redistricting Case Isn't The Map.
It's What The Supreme Court Said About It.
According to critics of the ruling, the Court acknowledged that Black voters were being denied equal political representation under Alabama's congressional map.
Yet despite recognizing the problem, the Court ultimately allowed the map to remain in place.
That's why opponents see the decision as so consequential.
The debate is no longer over whether discrimination occurred.
It's over what happens when a court identifies it and the map survives anyway.
It's a fight over whether voting rights protections still have teeth.
