Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Does Pete Hegseth only own the one blue suit? I mean, I can't really talk, I don't even think I have a suit that fits me right now. But every picture I've seen him in, he's wearing that royal blue suit. Maybe he has just a whole rack of those suits?

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true.
USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Instead of going after corporations who pay $0 in taxes, Republicans are focusing their budget on slashing assistance for people who struggle and the farmers and small businesses who power our economy.
It doesn't make any sense. And it's just cruel.
