Our Don, Jr interview covered a lot of ground - business conflicts, political ambitions, dangerous rhetoric, and Elon Musk.

Town halls are more than messaging for Dems, they're muscle memory. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social says we'll soon need masses of voters showing up, like at @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social rallies.

THEY ERASED JACKIE ROBINSON from DoD websites. Yes, really.

A great ceasefire deal…for Russia. Trump getting played by Putin. 20,000 more vets fired. And much more.

“I just could not believe what I was seeing. It’s President Trump at his worst. President Trump as an ill-mannered bully insulting a war hero. This wasn’t an Oval Office photo-op. This was an ambush.” - Geraldo joining us on @newsnation.bsky.social

It's like old times this weekend - Trump vs. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. The Board says if Trump keeps up the trade war, it "will qualify as one of the dumbest in history."

Trump says the "globalist" board is "always wrong."

This is pretty crazy. If JFK lived as long as Carter, he would have died when Trump was president.
