Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
"They promised us a very, very different future... That future hasn't arrived and I am frankly angry. I'm angry that these folks won't own up. I'm angry they won't tell the truth and I'm angry that this is a result of a series of absolutely insane policy blunders."
Translation:
Like other unflattering "investigations" related to Trump and his admin, evidence showing culpability will be buried, an adversary will be blamed, and the investigation will be ended.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
"oil prices up 50%... But I still want to emphasize one thing. Yeah, that hurts at the pump. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what's worse? War. And so we shouldn't trivialize the big issues here, which is, you know, we're at war with Iran. Big deal for young American troops. Big deal for the Iranians."
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Rep Stansbury: “The president & his admin can’t explain a legal justification for an eminent threat that gave them the authority to use the military—
They can’t provide an explanation of their war plan — they can’t explain why they’ve killed over 200 civilians — the president needs to be impeached”
A chilling crime by Pete Hegseth and the US Navy. Iranian warship IRIS Dena was unarmed and taking part in an int’l exercise with countries including the United States when she was sunk off Sri Lanka by a torpedo fired by a US nuclear submarine, killing at least 87 Iranian sailors.
Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.
"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available
This is not good.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.

Q: When you look at today's [US balance of trade] numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs?
Professor Justin Wolfers: *laughs*
Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive — it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying
"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.
And it begins - the #EpsteinFiles Analysis.
Huh?
The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
