@MeidasTouch RFKJr. lies; people die! It’s been happening for years!

[James Moore @honjamesmoore]

In every way, he is the model of what I am teaching my son not to be: vile, small, cruel, ignorant, petty, corrupt. And he models it daily. Today’s example:

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Thank you Rep. Ted Lieu for continuing to fact check and call out the BS and lies!

This is absolute cinema 🎥

🇺🇸Journalist Kernen: "You made a ton of money in crypto. Do you even know about those crypto deals?"

🇺🇸Trump: "Yeah I know. Nothing illegal there."

🇺🇸Kernen: "Title 18, Section 208. It’s criminal law that stops gov workers from making money off official stuff."

🇺🇸Trump: "Don’t know it."

That’s a journalist with SPINE 👏.

In a real democracy, Trump would have face 5 years in prison for this crime.

Dylan Cumming was dealing in Birmingham on Saturday. Cumming goes 6 innings allowing 3H and 1BB. He strikes out 6 on 51k/81p. His Quality Start does not factor into the #Barons 7-3 loss. Cumming left up 1-0.

Teams in the last 20 MLB seasons have trailed by 8 or more runs 3,092 times.

They've ended up winning just twice. Once was today.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc

Real Journalism used to be a thing!

(Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)

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.

Q: The president's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbol in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock--

JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question

Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this?

VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process.

The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It’s the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged.

Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer.

So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

I am troubled by Trump. But I’m even more troubled by the Christians who defend him.

Every time I hear @Franklin_Graham support Trump, I think of the words of his dad:

“I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form… It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.” – Billy Graham

Follow Jesus. Not Trump.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Reminder: Obama sent $14 BILLION to Iran days after Iran injured 200+ Americans and killed many others.

Oops, never mind, that was Trump this week.

“The United States is allowing Iran to collect $14 billion in oil revenue.”

Where is the outrage MAGA?

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Fox News: “Cory Booker and Alex Padilla…want to require CBP and ICE officers to have legible IDs, and they don’t want CBP or ICE officers covering their faces.

Trump: “Well, they wouldn’t be saying that if they didn’t hate our country.” (2025)
