JD Vance likes to claim, without offering persuasive evidence, that immigrants are to blame for the housing affordability crisis.
Meanwhile, JD Vance's patrons in Big Tech are buying up homes to build data centers for AI, thereby driving out first-time buyers of homes.

Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo just became only the second Olympian with at least 10 gold medals. I’ve really enjoyed cross country skiing during this Olympics and Klaebo has been amazing. I know very little about the sport but it’s obvious even to me that he’s the best.

Jesse Jackson: “In 1980, Reagan won Pennsylvania by 300,000 votes, 400,000 students unregistered. More than 600,000 blacks unregistered! Reagan won Pennsylvania by the margin of despair, by margin of the fracture of our coalition.”

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

So far, Trump is claiming there are no credible allegations against him relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. This outstanding reporting by @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social challenges that claim. The chronology of various events provided here is especially important.

Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.
Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.

So much much wrong with Bondi’s view that rising stocks should make us move on from Epstein’s crimes. But it’s worth noting that over half the market’s returns came from these seven companies: NVIDIA, Alphabet, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan Chase, Palantir & Meta. Who is REALLY benefiting from this?
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
