George W. Bush on his relationship with @MichelleObama and the viral Altoids incident.
“I slipped her an Altoids — not as a joke — but I thought she might want one. I got in the car afterwards, and she said ‘you’re trending.’ I didn’t know what she meant. And it turns out the country is starved to see a center-right republican and an African American center-left democrat having fun and being able to converse, not as political figures, but as citizens.”
Oklahoma passed a $250M private school tax credit (voucher) in 2023.
We now know more than 90% of recipients were already in private school & just 361 of nearly 40,000 students came from low-income households.
HB3705 would expand it to $275M/year. (Vote count at the end.)
This is BELT TREATMENT 🔥
🇺🇸 Trump –– I feel that countries like Japan and China don't have courage or will to open the Strait of Hormuz
🇨🇳 CHINA –– 🔥 "The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. It was you who created war out of nothing and got it closed for the rest of the world" 😂
No one tolerating nonsense
The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.
This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.
This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic.
An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe.
We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority.
NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction.
Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build.
We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.”
Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.”
This is the Trump shutdown!
The insider trading scandal just got worse. It wasn't just oil. Someone also made a massive unexplained trade on the S&P 500 exactly 15 minutes before Trump's Iran war tweet. Hundreds of millions of dollars made in minutes. They knew exactly what he was going to say.
Jeff Bezos gave Trump $40 million for the Melania documentary.
He donated $1 million to his inauguration.
In return Amazon got an $8 billion tax cut.
We have to get big money out of politics.
I joined @StopBigMoney to talk about it.
Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: “Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?”
OMG CNN or FOX News can't dare to air this
Thomas Massie brutally exposed the DOJ and FBI for their blatant corruption and failure to investigate or arrest anyone in U.S. connected to Epstein
He names specific elites who were listed as co-conspirators but never questioned...
Hours before SOTU, the public is learning that DOJ appears to have withheld and removed Epstein-file records tied to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor.
This is a Watergate-level scandal unfolding in real time.
The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Epstein introduced her to Trump "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
