WOW! Imagine if Hunter Biden invested in a company and three months later the White House rushed a $620,000,000 Pentagon loan to it.

That’s exactly what Don Jr. did with Vulcan Elements. Stephanie Ruhle calls it corruption. Republicans call it “Tuesday.” The valuation jumps from $200 million to $2 billion.

Your tax dollars. Their bank account.

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. We will not stand by when comedy and journalism are censored and criminalized.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Jon Stewart to Stephen Colbert: "The ubiquitous bloating of the commander-in-chief has put us all as defined as who we are in opposition to him. And it's just a ridiculous framing. It's a minute portion of the joy machine that you call your show. And it's annoying.

"And let me say this, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, not just for this show, but for the country: The day that the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration... The day that that happens, my brother, and I mean this — there will be a joyful noise from the bowels of this great country that will make Hungary's repudiation of Orban look like an Amish Sabbath."

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Every word.

Chris Van Hollen tells the plain, honest truth about the Department of Justice under Trump.

The symbol of this era: That stupid, huge banner of Trump on the DOJ building.

It’s a Declaration of Corruption.

DOJ is now a national disgrace.

How do we end the embarrassment of being the only major country not to guarantee healthcare to all as a human right?

The answer is not complicated.

We must elect candidates who are determined to pass Medicare for All.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China. 

Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well. 

The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer. 

Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.

That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.

Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.

CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

“Kansas City is a major city that’s on the move and I think we’re moving as much as any city in the nation.”

I was proud to help secure $13 million in federal funding to make this project possible, which will connect Kansas City and boost economic development.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption.

Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution.

What is Trump hiding from the American people?

Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

Stephen Colbert has been one of the most thoughtful, funny, and genuinely decent people on television.

I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially the Colbert Report.

Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.

Missouri Lawsuit: Government Denying People Right to Vote on Redistricting

A new lawsuit asks the courts to stop the Missouri Secretary of State and Attorney General from running out the clock and denying voters the right to be heard on redistricting.

[Kemp Strickler @kstric]

Since being elected four years ago to represent MO HD 34, I fought against the proposed nearby landfill, supported our public schools, & worked to protect taxpayers from unfair assessments like we saw in '23.

Join me in working for a better Missouri!

@BarackObama I love the fact that the Judge told The administration that they clearly are ignoring the Constitution

Thanks for speaking up.

A federal appeals court ruled late Wednesday that the Trump administration acted illegally when it ended legal protections that gave hundreds of thousands of people from Venezuela permission to live and work in the United States. https://t.co/YjRsgPzwRS
