The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

We should note that yesterday Senators Durbin and Duckworth issued formal criminal referrals for actions by members of the Trump regime. I think this needs to become far more common as we must attach criminality to their outrageous actions, and not let it get normalized as just boys being boys.

Kamlager-Dove: Biden put together a very restrictive plan around selling these chips to other countries. And Republicans were saying, “Hey, Biden, you’re not protecting our national security.” Fast forward to Trump, and he’s selling these things like you sell Snickers on the corner.

Hassett Says Trump Would Be Free to Offer Opinions on Fed Policy
National Economic Council head Kevin Hassett said he’d consider President Donald Trump’s policy opinions if picked to lead the Federal Reserve, but that the central bank’s interest rate decisions would remain independent.

Mark Cuban: Employers Are Unknowingly Profiting From Sick Workers’ Drug Costs
Mark Cuban warned that many employers are collecting drug rebate money funded by their sick employees — a practice that can violate fiduciary duties under ERISA. His company, Cost Plus Drugs, is partnering with organizations like Humana’s CenterWell to create direct-to-employer programs that bypass PBMs and deliver medications at lower net prices.
