🚨BREAKING: Epstein file says Trump knew about underage sex parties occurring at his golf course and that revenue from the club was used to fund them.
Trump has known for days this was about to be published in his home state of Florida.

PETERS: Yes or no, do you think it's right for a president to approve disaster aid based on whether a state voted for him instead of the amount of damage in the state? This chart behind me is pretty dramatic
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That's not my experience of the president
PETERS: This chart speaks volumes
The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026.
Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.
Virginia Giuffre’s younger brother, Sky Roberts, chokes back tears as he testifies on her behalf before Congress.
“If Virginia were here today, she would say these words herself. Since she cannot, I will say them for her as her little brother.”
He then reads from her sworn deposition dated May 3, 2016, naming the powerful men Ghislaine Maxwell directed her to have sex with: Prince Andrew, Glenn Dubin, Alan Dershowitz, and others. Ten years later, none of them have been charged.
“This is only a small sample of the thousands of stories that still remain untold. The question today is no longer whether names exist. The question is, what will Congress and the Department of Justice do about it?”
Heartbreaking and powerful. Survivors and their families deserve real justice and accountability. We will not stop.
We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. Since that day, job growth has come to a standstill, with only the non-traded healthcare industry adding meaningfully to payrolls. Also, since that day, inflation has accelerated, with the consumer expenditure deflator increasing at a 3% year-over-year pace, up from 2.5% before the tariffs and well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. And the trend lines don’t look good, especially as the economic fallout from the Iran War hits with full force. The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher. The U.S. economy is resilient, but just how resilient is set to be tested.
We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.
Every oncologist should watch Ben Sasse’s interview with Ross Douthat. I was captivated by his courage, serenity, and his ability to articulate what so many of our patients feel and experience. Ben and I don’t share the same political or religious beliefs, which made it all the more compelling.
A few things stood out:
* His physicians struggled to deliver the “hard facts.” They led with advances in oncology before telling him he had cancer, wanting to stay positive. I’ve been there - it’s incredibly tough to balance truth with hope. We need to be frank with our patients, even when it’s difficult. I also imagine that the story didn’t play out exactly as Ben recollected, but perception is reality for our patients.
* Ben asked for “Oncology 101”: chemo vs. radiation vs. surgery vs. targeted therapy. He kept saying “teach me” - he needed a map. I love that. Every patient deserves this navigation. Cancer is overwhelming without a clear direction.
* He’s on a drug targeting a cancer gene long considered “undruggable.” We’re making real progress and occasionally witnessing “miracles” in clinic - responses grounded in cancer biology. This progress depends on funding and clinical trials. This is how we move the field forward.
* The flip side is that these treatments carry real toxicity. Ben’s face makes this painfully clear. I am constantly amazed at what many patients are willing to endure and the resilience that they show.
* Ben loves his hospice team. They gave him a practical framework for managing four variables: cancer pain, nausea, balancing diarrhea and constipation, and energy/fatigue. He noted that oncologists often steer conversations to their own agenda (scans, treatment, etc). I’ve been guilty of this too. We need to listen more.
* Despite being given a prognosis of a few months, Ben keeps his great sense of humor. After watching this, I feel we could actually be friends. Political labels might once have gotten in the way - and that’s on me. Confronting death strips away differences and magnifies what we share.
* Ben on the digital culture we live in: “These super-devices in our pockets, the largest tools any individual has ever had, allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live… the places where we break bread, the people we can physically touch and hug.” This is so true.
* Ben doesn’t fear death, but he fears misprioritization. Dinner time is precious. There’s a limit to work trips. Live near family. Cancer forces laser focus on what matters most. When people who are dying share these pearls, all of us need to listen and consider it a gift.
Highly recommended. Wishing you the best, @BenSasse.

Trump is doing to the U.S. what he did to all his businesses: siphon out as much cash as he can and leave the debts to the investors, in this case, the U.S. taxpayer.
Speaker Johnson must immediately reconvene the House to vote on a war powers resolution. It’s beyond clear we are at war. The Speaker's legacy will be that he made Congress so irrelevant that a president can threaten to wipe out a civilization while Congress is on vacation.
I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE MADURO REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF VENEZUELA... THE IRGC REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF IRAN... AND THE EPSTEIN REGIME IS STILL IN CHARGE OF AMERICA 🤷
thank you to the 3-4 brave democrat senators issuing statements like “this is not normal” from their large suburban backyards while they are on vacation for seemingly the entire year
I’ll save you some time on the Iran address:
• It’s Biden’s fault
• 48 hours
• Two weeks
• Some incoherent gibberish
• We’ve won
• We are way ahead of schedule
• It’s a little excursion
• We have obliterated them
• We’ve knocked out all their ships
• I could open up the Strait of Hormuz
• Go get your own oil
• They gave us a present
• NATO are cowards
• Something about Nuclear weapons
• Allies are useless
• We need allies
• Nobody’s ever seen anything like it
• Fake news
• DEMOCRATS
• Obama
• More gibberish
• I know more than the generals
• Greatest foreign policy ever
Am I missing anything?
Not a single good thing has happened under Trump. Not one.
He will leave us with no jobs, a crashed economy, staggering deficit, skyrocketing food, gas, and healthcare costs, many new wars, our best weapons depleted, many soldiers killed and maimed, zero respect in the world, zero Epstein transparency, and the country torn apart.
It's not Biden, Obama, Newsom, Schumer, Jefferies, or anyone else. Everything that's happening now, every damn thing...
IS ON TRUMP.
