Pam Bondi actually said that the Dow crossed “50,000 dollars.” She must be thinking of Tom Homan’s 50,000 dollars stuffed in a Cava bag.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he cut contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. He lied.
Maintaining contact with someone involved in such horrific abuses—and lying about it—is a moral failure, and another reason Lutnick is unfit to serve.
He should resign.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

The construction of the bulldozed section of the White House (The East Wing) has now come to a complete halt and it’s estimated to be finished in 3 years.
The $400M that was allocated for this disastrous demolition is now “unaccounted for.”
