BREAKING:
JD Vance just gave a big speech in which he claimed that "for the first time in a very long time, workers' wages are rising faster than inflation.."
The only problem?
The Trump Labor Dept. reported exactly the opposite just yesterday, showing real wages falling in June. #EconSky

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Grateful to have watched Margaret Severin-Hansen's final performance with @CarolinaBallet . She was stunning, as always, as was Jan Burkhard, who will give her final performance next month. Indeed, the whole company was so outstanding that we intend to become subscribers again next season.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Before changing sports and America, Jackie Robinson served as a 2nd Lieutenant in WWII with distinction. Yesterday, the Defense Department erased him from history. DOD ought to be SUPPORTING our vets, making it easier for them to afford a home - or a carton of eggs - not disappearing them.
