David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

SO uplifting to see a real President bringing folks together, reading to kids and helping to teach them what’s really important in this world.

Barack Obama was a better President than we deserved. I’m thankful for his leadership, every day.
I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Justin Wolfers is THE economist to listen to if/when you have questions about the likely consequences of actions taken by the Trump Administration.

The unvarnished truth is sadly a rarity these days...
They need to be independent.
They need to be courageous.. even when it feels difficult.
They need to serve the American people rather than the White House.
They need to have good judgment and a sensible model.. of how the economy works overall.
And they need to show intellectual leadership

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

Trump increased U.S. military spending to record levels.

He bombed Iran without approval from Congress.

He's launched deadly air strikes on fishing boats in the Caribbean — while presenting no evidence to back up allegations of drug smuggling.
