In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Let's get this straight: MGX – a shady Abu Dhabi firm – cut deals to get sensitive American technology while enriching the Trump family’s crypto firm.
Now, Trump wants that same firm and his billionaire friends to control what you watch on TikTok?
What are we even doing here?

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why?
RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

One cherry farmer in Dalles, Oregon will have to leave 300 to 400 tons of fruit on the trees due to a lack of available workers.
Workforce shortages are impacting the cherry harvest, leading to significant losses for farms.
Trump’s illegal deportations are hitting Oregon’s cherry farmers hard.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.
It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs.
It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Unsurprisingly, the group that most consistently continues to support a dude whose position winds up at “your kids will have less” are white boomers.
Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."
