Don Lemon: “The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is a measure of how much money rich people are making. The farmers who can’t afford fertilizer are not in the stock market. The families digging into their savings just to cover groceries are not in the stock market. The people paying $4 or more for gas are not in the fucking stock market”
This LEGO video is hilarious.
But the fact that people halfway around the world are trolling trump about the Epstein files more aggressively than many American media outlets should embarrass the hell out of us.
Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.
BOOM! Jamie Raskin is UNSTOPPABLE: Constitutional scholar, lawyer, and competent congressman Jamie Raskin is looking healthier and more energized than ever.
He just drew a moral line on the House floor that the GOP can't cross: "We draw a line against the rape and sexual violation of children."
He named the banks that bankrolled Epstein's billion-dollar trafficking ring: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon.
He named Alex Acosta—Trump's Labor Secretary—who killed the investigation that could've brought down the entire network. He looked directly at the GOP and said: "You have children. Don't you want to know?" Then he mentioned college sports teams. You know who that is.
Jim Jordan—who had a locker two down from Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, whom wrestlers say looked them in the face and dismissed their abuse as "that's just Strauss," and who they say KNEW and did NOTHING while 177 young men were violated.
And the files? They show Elon Musk emailing Epstein asking about the "wildest party" on his island and responding to Epstein's offer of "no one over 25 and all very cute." JPMorgan lawsuits allege Epstein referred to Musk as a client WHILE moving billions for his trafficking operation.
This isn't about party. This is about truth.
Conservatives: You scream about "protecting children" while voting for the men who covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history.
How do you sleep? How do you vote? How do you look your kids in the eye?
“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.”
This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.
These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬
Trump is instituting an even stricter rule for his big, ugly bill’s Medicaid work requirements by narrowing who can get a medical exemption.
Hello? The majority of recipients who can work are already working. Don’t believe his lies for a second.
BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen DEMOLISHES Marco Rubio during a hearing, says that Trump is "stupid" and his foreign policy is "a dumpster fire" in a scathing takedown.
Every word of this was pure music to our ears...
"This is your first public hearing since President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched an illegal war against Iran. Netanyahu said he's been waiting 40 years to do this," said Van Hollen. "Turns out he finally found a President who was both stupid and reckless enough to join him. The war has killed 14 American service members, wounded hundreds more, and killed thousands of civilians. It's driving up the price of gas, food, and much more."
"Trump obviously doesn't care," he continued. "He called high gas prices 'peanuts' and said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation.' That's from the President of the United States."
The senator's analysis is spot on. This pointless and costly Iran War has turned into one of the greatest debacles in American military history. Trump has accomplished nothing beyond pointless death, wasting of our tax dollars, and empowering Israeli regional aggression. Through it all, Rubio — who has never met a foreign government that he doesn't want to overthrow — has been dutifully cheerleading the conflict.
"And all for what?" asked Van Hollen. "The President told us 91 days ago that we had, 'Won the war in Iran.' Last year, he told the country Iran's key enrichment facilities had been completely and totally obliterated. Was that false? Let's face it, Mr. Secretary, the Trump foreign policy has become a dumpster fire."
"This is the same President who's more interested in flattering Vladimir Putin than in protecting Ukrainian sovereignty," he went on. "The President who lifted restrictions on the transfer of sophisticated U.S. chips to China, but came back from his trip there with nothing but ballroom envy, tweeted about that the other day."
"This is the President who brought on Elon Musk to take a chainsaw to USAID, which has enabled the current Ebola outbreak in the DRC," he said.
"We've also witnessed corrupt crypto deals with the UAE royal family that have enriched the Trump family at the expense of our national security," he continued.
"We've seen an administration engage in extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, hijacked Venezuelan oil, threatened to invade Greenland and weaken the NATO alliance. Here at home, a Reagan-appointed judge said that you and former Secretary Noem abused your powers when you locked up and still seek to deport students for protesting the destruction of Gaza."
"The Reagan-appointed judge said you did that 'Primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech,'" Van Hollen continued. "Speaking of Gaza, the so-called Board of Peace seems to have run around."
"Meanwhile, while Senator Rubio once proclaimed that the U.S. must, 'Work to ensure that refugees who flee war, torture, and persecution are provided safe environments to live and thrive in,' now as Secretary of State in this administration, you have capped refugees at a record low of 17,500, and white South Africans, Afrikaners, have comprised roughly 99% of those slots, Mr. Secretary, a race-based refugee system."
"The same time, the President is preventing Cuban political refugees from entering the United States, even as you've imposed a New York oil blockade on that repressive regime," said Van Hollen. "The stated goal is to change the government there, but the only real change is humanitarian crisis inflicted on millions of people, not members of the regime."
This was an absolute master class. Rubio clearly plans on running for President in 2028, especially now that Vance's star has fallen so dramatically. When he does, Van Hollen's words must be repeated far and wide. We have here a comprehensive accounting of Marco Rubio's profound failings, both strategically and morally, and it's crucial that every American hears it.
Please ❤️ and share if you would NEVER vote for Marcio Rubio!
Voter fraud is so rare that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot.
So why does Trump keep bringing it up?
To use it as a pretext to sabotage the midterms.
🚨JB PRITZKER EMBARRASSES TRUMP:
This is huge! JB Pritzker just BALANCED the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit.
$0!!!!!
The media won't tell you about Democratic accomplishments, so SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE:
While Trump is cutting SNAP, Pritzker is helping families put food on the table.
While Trump's Iran war is driving up energy costs, Illinois is pausing the gas tax increase.
While Trump is building a ballroom, Illinois is funding schools, building housing, wiping out medical debt, and helping working families.
That's what Democratic governing looks like.
Pritzker is lowering costs.
Trump is RAISING them.
Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September.
But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it.
This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
