Virginia Giuffre writes that she was violently raped by “a well-known prime minister.” The timeline fits Tony Blair, whose name is the only one, besides Trump’s, appearing in Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Comments, Prince Andrew?

Americans rebelling against the Dep't of Homan Security. Maybe we need to spell it out fully: We're AntiFascists.
Over the past week, ICE and border patrol agents have clashed with Chicago residents, and federal guard troops arriving in the city might inflame tensions further. Our reporters describe the situation on the ground.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.
Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.
But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

This is THE most important point about the looming shutdown: the Republicans could do it without a single Democrat vote. They want to blame Democrats for the shutdown they want anyway.
Thanks, AG!

I have an insurance guy who advises me on Medicare Advantage plans. He's great at what he does. His health care is under the ACA. He's worried about what it'll cost him for 2026. I didn't ask who he voted for.

BREAKING NYT:
Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.
Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

The Fed now projects Gross Domestic Product growth for the remainder of Trump's term to be waaaay less than we had under Biden. That, plus tariff-induced increased inflation equals stagflation. I'm old enough to remember Nixon's wage/price controls. Soooo much winning…[sigh]
The Fed’s outlook for GDP growth isn’t very optimistic — below 2% for the next 3 years.

Hmmm. The number of job seekers is now greater than the number of available jobs. Makes me wonder why GenZ bros haven't yet figured out that Trump doesn't GAF about them.
One marker of a weakening labor market: there are now more job seekers than job openings in the US.
