Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire.

The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour."

Call it what it is: corruption.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver

"Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba:

"Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

What does "this is what Elon wanted" mean?

Is there no one who can tell him that Elon is wrong about this? Not one Republican or a family member? Ivanka?
Trump: "Elon is from South Africa. I don't want to get Elon involved. That's all I have to do -- get him in another thing. This is what Elon wanted."

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

Best idea I’ve seen in the “liberal Joe Rogan” discourse:
Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:

Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."

We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.

One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

“I am sorry I don’t have a plane for you”

The President of South Africa deftly reminds us that he has a lot of experience in dealing with White Supremacists and autocrats.

The worst of Missouri.
Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith refuses to read a line from Republican's legislation that would provide a tax break for owners of tanning beds.

Fernandez: "So if you have a tanning bed, you get a little bit of a tax break and if you need a hospital bed in rural America, you're out of luck."
