I was at Walmart today, minding my own business and checking out the zucchini.
A woman walked up next to me with who I assume was her husband. She was wearing a hijab.
And then… absolutely nothing happened.
She went about her shopping. I went about mine. Her choice to wear a hijab had absolutely zero impact on my day, my freedom, or my ability to buy zucchini.
She didn’t tell me I needed to wear one.
She didn’t try to force one on me.
She didn’t hold me down and put one on my head.
I know. Crazy, right?
Almost like people can practice their own religion, wear what they choose, and live their lives without forcing everyone else to live the same way.
Wild concept.
I’m old enough to remember when we used to call examples like @AbdulElSayed “The American Dream”
Michigander born to immigrants, attends UM, then Oxford on Rhodes Scholarship & Columbia for his MD.
His commencement address mentions:
“…audacity to believe we can change this world…”
El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.
They just voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt. Translation: they really don’t want voters to focus on THEIR CONTINUED COVERING UP OF THE EPSTEIN CRIMES leading up to the election.
Funny how they're sooo concerned about little girls in public restrooms, but not at all for all the little girls imprisoned in ICE facilities suddenly becoming impregnated.
The Senate Committee of Homeland Security headed by whiny little bish Rand Paul voted to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress.
Congress didn't hold Pam Bondi in contempt for lying about the Epstein files.
They haven't held Kash Patel in contempt for lying about his abuses of office.
They haven't held Pete Hegseth in contempt for lying about the war crimes he continues to perpetrate.
They never held Kristi Noem in contempt for lying about ICE's killings of American citizens.
But the man who tried to save American lives in a deadly pandemic, a lifelong civil servant who served valiantly under multiple presidents - they want to hold him in contempt.
NOVEMBER IS COMING.
A Capitol Hill source sent me a Department of Energy hotline on S.1674, the Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025, which is Senator Mitch McConnell’s bill.
That raises an obvious question: if Senator McConnell is still at George Washington University Hospital, how did this legislation move forward? Do Senate staff have the authority to advance legislation like this on behalf of a senator?
I followed up with Senator Mitch McConnell’s communications director, Stephanie Penn, hoping to get answers and a response to the questions raised in my previous video. Specifically: Where did this legislation come from, and how was it approved if the senator remains hospitalized?
Stephanie Penn had no response and walked into Senator Katie Britt’s office.
The Trump Organization had roughly 385 accounts closed by Capital One after the bank’s anti-money-laundering team spent months reviewing them.
Imagine the reaction if this involved any other prominent political family.
If any other president’s businesses had hundreds of bank accounts terminated after an anti-money-laundering review by one of the nation’s largest banks, it would dominate the news cycle.
Instead, it surfaced in a federal court filing on a Friday afternoon and is being largely forgotten by Monday.
And it wasn’t just one bank.
There is a separate lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase involving accounts it also closed during roughly the same period. Trump says the banks engaged in politically motivated debanking. The banks say they acted for legitimate business and compliance reasons. The courts will decide those cases.
What is not in dispute is that while these lawsuits are pending, Trump is using the power of the presidency to push regulators toward policies that would make it harder for banks to take similar actions in the future. When a president’s private business disputes and public authority begin to overlap, every American should pay attention.
We’ve seen this pattern before. In 2019, during his first term, Trump sued Capital One and Deutsche Bank to block them from complying with congressional subpoenas seeking his financial records.
The public deserves to know why hundreds of Trump-linked accounts were closed, why so much of the record remains under seal, and whether a sitting president’s personal financial interests are influencing the exercise of public power.
This is not the standard of accountability we should expect from someone entrusted with the presidency.

Shout out to Reuters and ABC for pushing this story, but this should be fucking everywhere.
The most openly corrupt individual this country has ever seen. No one else comes close.
Today I did something I’ve never done in any political news story I’ve ever participated in or been a source for in my adult life. I agreed to go on the record. To @RandPaul , I did this because you are a liar who is actively harming people in your home state, and the country. You are defaming a man who has been responsible for saving countless lives, and lying to the public at large while being honest with private event attendees & donors. I am aware how much damage this will do to both my business, especially in some southern festivals I participate in, and what other backlash may take place. If we go under because of this, we are fine with that. Some things are more important than money, and public health and the honesty of our elected representatives is one of those things.
Omg this all makes perfect sense now!
It was the U.S. Virgin Islands investigation into financial institutions with ties to Jeffrey Epstein in 2020! THAT’S why Trump’s accounts were flagged shortly thereafter!
And other major banks de-banked Trump too!
WHY ISN’T THIS NEWS????
Some breaking news this morning that’s not getting the coverage it deserves: We caught Tillis on camera and got him to agree to meet with the Epstein survivors ahead of a vote on Todd Blanche. They sat in his office for 45 minutes before his staff told them he wasn’t coming.
Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????
Everyone in this current administration should be punched in the face, at dawn, every single day until they decide to work for the people. Same goes for m/billionaires.
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.
