GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.
REPORTER: How much wealthier are you now than when you returned to the WH?

TRUMP: The deals I made for the most part, other than what my kids are doing - they're running my business - were made before. Where are you from?

R: Australia

T: In my opinion you are hurting Australia right now. Quiet.

This breathtaking sight comes from the Erta Ale volcano in Ethiopia. At night, escaping sulfur gases ignite at scorching temperatures, creating rivers of electric-blue fire.
It’s one of Earth’s most extreme natural wonders—hidden in the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest places on the planet.

The Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, is frantically sorting through notecards on his table in order to find the canned answers he needs to give during this House Judiciary Committee hearing.

What a joke.

Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz — widely suspected of raping underage girls — as AG.

Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi — who reportedly killed Florida’s Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation.

All for PRECISELY this moment — to cover up the Epstein case.

I bought a new computer with the sales going on. My current computer has been doing what I call a "quick exit" for months - which is Photoshop crashing. And video editing is rough. Time for a new system!

I still ruefully remember the day that Mitch McConnell lost the right to speak publicly about fairness in the judicial branch.

That would be the day he unilaterally decided that Democratic presidents don’t get to nominate Supreme Court justices, especially so if they’re black Democratic presidents.

Most of us grew up thinking this sort of obvious corruption is criminal. What we are learning is it hardly even merits major-media scrutiny.

This country is becoming a Robber Barony in real time. And worse, it is being done right under our noses.

In fact, Musk is gleefully shoving our faces in it.

All indications are that the purpose of this pick is to make NASA a subsidiary of SpaceX—with both receiving massive infusions of taxpayer dollars, all under the direct or indirect control of Musk—as it is clear Isaacman intends to turn NASA into an instrument of whatever Elon wants to do at SpaceX.

NASA aficionados know Musk has often worked behind the scenes to lobby government officials in ways that manifestly hurt NASA and benefit his own company SpaceX. SpaceX both partners with and competes with NASA. Putting a 41-year-old with no relevant degrees (or any degrees) at NASA is preposterous.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.
