Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

If Dems are smart they will pull on the Lutnick thread.
Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off
Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

How does Rep. Gonzales know whether they would qualify for asylum?

This is what happens when you lose your spine and forgo any semblance of principles in the name of getting reelected. He’s so afraid of his right wing primary opponents and Trump that he’ll say and do some really terrible stuff.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

“I can’t answer that.” I was reminded of this moment in the last few days with all the discussion of Epstein. Has any reporter looked into whether Trump has non-disclosure agreements with Epstein victims?

Ok wait a second. Why are White House staffers, paid by US taxpayers, posting to Donald Trump’s personal account on his personal social media platform?
New on MS NOW:

According to a White House official: "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."

Just hours ago, Karoline Leavitt defended the racist post. Now it's been taken down.

This is MAGA ideological imperialism.

It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists.
