Donald Trump set another record.

There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry.

Until now.

Donald Trump is suing California over our voting rolls and STILL trying to rig the rules in his favor.

This is not normal. And we cannot afford to sit back and pretend it is.

Every single Republican president in my life has started a war in the Middle East and crashed the economy. Why is ANYONE rightwing, I genuinely don't understand.

Donald Trump’s tariff war with Canada has been a disaster. Our closest ally is pivoting away from the U.S. because Trump couldn’t handle a trade negotiation and threw a tantrum.

Dina Doll: "Not only is it a disaster for our economy and our sense of dignity as a country, but it's really bad for Mike Rogers in Michigan."

“They always say America first. Nobody ever says Americans first.” It’s $1 billion a day for a war Trump promised he wouldn't start.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:

“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.

But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?

I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”

Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

🇺🇸 Historic video. Bill Clinton thanks Ukraine for giving up nuclear weapons

November 22, 1994. The U.S. president promises that America will always stand by Ukraine to preserve its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in the future.

Well, the future has arrived….

[Face The Nation @FaceTheNation]

Rep. Mike Turner says Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s explanation about Ukraine’s loss of Starlink access as something that “sort of happened” was “absolutely not” sufficient.

“This is something where there needs to be an investigation, there needs to be a congressional investigation,” Turner (R-OH) tells @margbrennan, adding, “lives are at risk, and lives are lost over these things.”

Kroger spent $7.5 BILLION buying back its own stock to boost the share price. Then it cut 3,000 American jobs. Kroger only answers to Wall Street, not the families who shop and work there.

The people of Michigan are drowning in the failed Republican economy.

As a working-class mom of three, @cbhines586 is fighting to lower costs and ensure every family can afford to see a doctor when they need one.

That’s how it should be in America.

The guy who wrote Trump’s crypto law was on the payroll of the company it regulates. When the law passed, they made him CEO.

Bo Hines is 29. He ran for Congress twice and lost both times. He’d never worked in government or crypto. In January 2025, Trump made him executive director of the White House crypto council.

His first priority was writing the GENIUS Act, the first real crypto law in American history. Billions of dollars depended on the details.

The Wall Street Journal just revealed that Hines owned a third of a consulting company while at the White House. His dad owned another third.

Weeks after Hines started, the company signed a deal with Tether, the biggest crypto company in the world. Tether paid them $415,000 a month while Hines was writing the bill that would regulate it.

Trump signed the bill in July 2025. At the ceremony, he asked, “Where’s Bo Hines?” Hines stood up and took a bow.

A month after Hines left the White House, Tether made him CEO of its U.S. division. He bought a bigger house. His dad bought a private jet.

This is how the place runs now. Trump set the example and everyone underneath him is keeping up. I break it all down and much more in today’s show (link in reply).
