A crew member on a foreign vessel docked in Novorossiysk filmed the exact moment last night’s strike hit the Russian port. You can hear the shock on board as the sky glows over one of Russia’s key oil and export hubs.

Breaking: Trump on AF1 says he 'doesn't care' about the Epstein files getting released.

He then adds: 'You have to go into Epstein's friends.' He lists Reid Hoffman and Bill Clinton but not himself.

Budget bill’s inclusion of funds for senators to sue DOJ for up to $500,000 each for investigating them is the ultimate pork barrel legislation. I’ll discuss with @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @msnbc.com at 8:25 pm ET.

One thing I could not understand is how returns on stocks could be so good under Trump when the rest of the economy seems to be deteriorating.

Yes, we have a housing crisis.

But, more accurately, we have an economic crisis.

We have built an economy in which millions of people work full-time, but still require government assistance just to eat.

At the same time a small number of billionaires gather in a greater amount of our wealth
We have a housing crisis in the US

In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300 - 3.6 times the typical income

In 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600 - 5.3 times the median income of $80,061

50-year mortgages are NOT the answer; we need more houses

Remember the dramatic raid on the Chicago apartment building, where ICE used helicopters, flash-bangs, brandishing automatic weapons?

They dragged residents outside in the middle of the night and zip tied kids?

Pam Bondi has now assigned a prosecutor to look into Epstein's ties to Democrats.

If this investigation was legitimate, why wasn't this investigation opened months ago?

If this investigation was legitimate, why isn't everyone mentioned in Epstein's emails being investigated?
Trump just said he'll be ordering an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase and other people and institutions.

Not on that list: Donald Trump. Steve Bannon.

I have a question:

How is this even possible, when Flynn accepted a pardon from trump? Doesn't a pardon imply that the recipient was guilty of the crimes he was convicted of?
