Give me a good reason why the lead story on every news broadcast today and on the front of every newspaper tomorrow should not be that Donald Trump violated at least two laws today — not releasing all of the Epstein files, and defacing the Kennedy Center.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.
