Millions of people have lost about $4 billion on the $TRUMP meme coin.

Trump and a couple dozen insiders made almost $2 billion.

It's like buying a pet rock just to lose a lot of money.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged.

Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.

the fact that JD Vance tells

there's a black hole where his soul ought to be.

Who's the guy who bankrolled Don Jr's wedding in the Bahamas?

Umar Kremlev didn’t exist in 2009. A guy named Umar Lutfulloyev did. Late 20s, Serpukhov thug, two convictions — extortion in 2004, beating the shit out of people in 2007. Taxi work, construction, “security.” The usual starter pack.

Then he walks into a registry office in 2010 and becomes Umar Kremlev. Cleaner last name. Cleaner paperwork. Convenient.

He hangs with the Night Wolves, Putin’s favorite biker gang, and lucks into a friendship with Alexei Rubezhnoi — the man who runs the president’s personal security. That’s the whole origin story. Not a brilliant businessman. A guy who found the right bodyguard.

Rubezhnoi puts him in charge of the Russian Boxing Federation. Then Kremlev takes the International Boxing Association, the one the IOC kicked out of the Olympics for being a dumpster fire. Gazprom money shows up. Prize pots get huge. Everyone pretends not to notice the smell.

Meanwhile the real money arrives. Putin’s government hands him the sports betting market. His companies end up behind Fonbet, Pari, Liga Stavok. His outfit becomes the single accounting center for every legal bet in Russia. National lottery too.

That’s not hustle. That’s the Kremlin picking a guy with a rap sheet and giving him an entire industry because he’s useful and loyal. He even said it out loud: unlimited opportunities thanks to one person, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

So when this guy drops six figures on a private island and fireworks for Don Jr.’s wedding, it’s not “a generous friend who loves boxing and hunting.” It’s a twice-convicted Putin cutout buying access to the president’s kid.

U.S. debt surpassed 100% of GDP this year and is on track to reach 188% over the next 30 years, according to new analysis by @BBKogan and @econjared.

They find the debt would instead be trending down toward 48%, were it not for the Bush and Trump tax cuts.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.

And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.

What the actual fuck are we doing?

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

President Trump promised there'd be no cuts to Medicaid.

Then he pushed through his One Big Beautiful Bill, which cut Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion and has already caused over 5 million Americans to lose health insurance.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump promised to balance the budget.

Musk projected $2 trillion in savings.

This year, the deficit grew by 18% — with $200 billion of that due to refunds of his illegal tariffs.
