@DHSgov US soccer star Folarin Balogun is eligible to play for the US b/c his parents came to visit America when his mom was 7mo pregnant. Due to the pregnancy, the airlines wouldn’t let her on the return flight to London. He was born in the New York. #birthrightcitizenship #worldcup

Corruption in plain view. 😩

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

@suekhim This is a phenomenal use of AI, based on existing student behavioral data.

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.

We are officially in a reading crisis.

Kids of all ages are reading less and enjoying it less.

Kids who said they enjoyed reading:

• In 2005: 51%
• In 2025: 32%

Kids who said they read daily:

• In 2005: 38%
• In 2025: 18%

This is concerning.

If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it.

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

Today, I am excited to announce our Family Opportunity Agenda. We are going to be relentless in our drive to make our city more affordable for families in San Francisco.

Starting this month, a family of four making less than $230,000 a year will qualify for free child care at hundreds of high quality providers across the city.

And by this fall, those earning up to $310,000 a year will receive a 50% subsidy.

Our plan also expands opportunities for our students.

In partnership with SFUSD, we’re launching a new pilot that allows high school students to earn associate degrees or industry certifications at City College—with a guaranteed transfer to SF State University. This will help them become nurses, police officers, Pre-K teachers, auto technicians, chefs, and more.

We’re committed to making San Francisco a place where families can stay, grow, and build their future. This is just the beginning. Let’s go, San Francisco.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

President Trump did a whole lot of lying on "60 Minutes." Here's a fact check of 18 of his false claims to Norah O’Donnell, the vast majority of them previously debunked:

- It's not true grocery prices "are down"; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they're up
- It's not true there is now "no inflation" (it’s at 3%) or that it's "less than 2%" (it's at 3%)
- It's not true it was "my idea, which nobody, frankly, had thought of," to have AI facilities generate their own power on-site (they were already starting to do that while he was out of office, with Biden administration encouragement)
- It's not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now" (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated "announcements" figure)
- It's not true each alleged drug boat "kills 25,000 Americans" (this figure plainly makes no sense given US overdose death totals)
- It's not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act "28 times" (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
- It's not true Trump has ended "eight wars" (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren't wars at all, one war still going full tilt in the DRC, and the Gaza conflict where killing also continues)
- It's not true the Kamala Harris interview Trump sued "60 Minutes" over aired "two days" before the election (it was more than four full weeks before Election Day)
- It's not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion" (inspector general says the US had disbursed $94 billion through June 2025 and appropriated $93 billion more, including funds spent in the US)
- It's not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
- It's not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
- It's not true the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen" (his usual lie) 
- It's not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
- It's not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
- It's not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle (even the White House's own disputed figure is a small fraction of that) or that Biden let in 25 million migrants (it's well under half that even if you count millions who were rapidly expelled)
- It's not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants (Trump's own team has never been able to corroborate this story experts say is baseless)
- It's not true Nancy Pelosi flipped out after finding out his controversial 2019 call with Zelensky “was taped” (there remains no known US tape; what Trump released was a rough transcript, which bolstered rather than undermined Pelosi’s move toward impeachment)

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
