He’s literally saying “of course I would use my position to make money. No one wants to be poor!”

GOP Senator objects to bill banning congressional stock trading:

Anybody want to be poor? I don't. This idea that we're gonna attack people because they make money is wrong. It's disgusting what is going on here. This is an attack against the president, and an attack against the vice president

Among the guests at Bove’s confirmation party was Jeffrey Clark.

In 2023, Clark was criminally charged alongside Bove’s former client, Donald Trump, for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Today, DC Bar regulators recommended that Clark be disbarred.

The FDA appeared to move closer to realizing RFK Jr.’s goal of getting people off antidepressants, quietly convening a so-called expert panel to discuss selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and pregnancy.

The result was a misinformation fest.
Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants?
A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Trump’s federal prosecutor in LA can’t seem to get grand juries to indict protestors. I’m gonna guess it’s because there are no crimes. This debunks the “massive increase in assaults” claim, as well as the claims that LA is “lawless”, or that the national guard is necessary.
Incredible. Federal prosecutors are seeing many cases of people accused of assaulting Border Patrol agents being turned down by grand juries!

Los Angeles federal prosecutors are privately saying it’s because CBP agents are just “arresting first and asking questions later.”

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

I can’t believe we have to prove he drew pictures. Of course he did. To claim he never drew pictures ever in his 79 years of living is insane.
'“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” Trump said in an interview Tuesday...

Trump, however, has made multiple drawings over the years; at least four were publicly auctioned off during his first term as president.'

Trump said he ‘never wrote a picture in my life.’ Here are four.
Trump claims he’s never made drawings. He’s done many. Here are four examples.

This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT.

The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.
you genuinely have to admire his brain. getting hammered 24/7 on Epstein? better fabricate a personal link to the Unabomber, specifically mentioning one of the prestigious universities where Epstein peddled his influence

“Americans as of Sunday faced a 20.6% average effective tariff rate, … the highest since 1910. 
The full effect of the tariffs might not be felt for months …. But the … resulting price increases could amount to the equivalent of a $2,800 hit in yearly household income.”
