The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

I have to say the lowest bar one can even imagine for public service has to be “was never involved in a pedo rape club” and Trump can’t even clear that!

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Investors discounted everything Trump has ever said about trade and tariffs. We’re all going to pay for that mistake.

"Oh you want 10,000 troops?" says world leader who already deployed 15K. "Great 10k it is"
