HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
College Where Charlie Kirk Was Killed Revokes Graduation Speaker's Invite Utah Valley University was thrilled that Sharon McMahon, a best-selling author, would speak at its graduation. And then her old posts resurfaced. Listen • 5:02 min
You'll never believe what this speaker--now cancelled thanks to "free speech" warriors like TPUSA & Sen. Mike Lee--posted about Charlie Kirk.
She said she was "gutted" by his murder. She described it as "horrific" and said it "should have never happened." And then she went on to post Kirk's words.

Trump's campaign to deport immigrants could weigh on his party in November's midterm congressional elections, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. Some 52% of Americans said they were less likely to support a candidate who backs Trump's approach to deportations reut.rs/4tyQHJa
The crypto billionaire sued the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, accusing the project of “criminal extortion.”
There’s no honor among thieves.
The war in Iran has severely constricted the supply of oil from the Persian Gulf. Countries with the financial means — China, Japan, Europe, the U.S. — are paying whatever it takes to secure much of what they need. It's driving higher energy prices for all and shortages in vulnerable countries.
The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

![While it might seem like good news that “AI & Crypto Czar” David Sacks has exited the role, it appears to be a reshuffling in name only to dodge the 130-day limit on the terms of special government employees that Congresspeople pointed out months ago he was already exceeding [I93]. Sacks is now stripped of that title, and is left only as the co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, which judging by its makeup is now the council of billionaire tech executives on AI (with a little crypto and nuclear energy sprinkled in). Sacks was named co-chair in a January 2025 executive order re-establishing the council, along with fellow co-chair Michael Kratsios, who worked for Peter Thiel and Thiel’s portfolio company Scale AI, and was a technology adviser during Trump’s first term. Though the two have held their co-chair positions for over a year now, the council was otherwise empty. Now that Sacks is out of his separate advisory role, Trump seems to have remembered the council exists, and has just announced a list of members:19](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreicchz7sp4homknvsyvskapphl5lf6mzibhx4oqc4tl7h3jlxr2doq)

Now, it has more All-In podcast hosts than it does professors.
David Sacks is out as AI & Crypto Czar, but this is mostly an end run around special government employee term limits. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, which he co-chairs, has been staffed up — and has more All-In podcast hosts on it than professors or doctors.
The Council will be co-chaired by David Sacks and Michael Kratsios. The following individuals have been appointed: Marc Andreessen Sergey Brin Safra Catz Michael Dell Jacob DeWitte Fred Ehrsam Larry Ellison David Friedberg Jensen Huang John Martinis Bob Mumgaard Lisa Su Mark Zuckerberg
The President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology might be the most cursed list of individuals I’ve ever seen in my life

"Up to now, moderates have seemed more scared of primaries and the wrath of Trump than of their own Trump-skeptical voters. But as midterms loom, and Trump's approval stagnates at historic lows, the calculus appears to be changing. That bodes ill for Johnson — and for his party’s 2026 prospects."

I think it’s cute they threw Ron in there.
"Send us money to help build a border wall" and then instead buying yourself 18 more rumpled polo shirts to wear simultaneously, that's donor fraud. "Send us money to help research and track extremists" and then spending that money on obtaining information about extremists groups is... not fraud.
Infiltrating hate groups with informants is something that goes way back to the civil rights era and before. It's never been something only the government can do, especially when the government is more likely to be showing up for the white power happy hour every third Thursday at Chili's.
Can definitely criticize the merits, or if the scale reached the point where you're effectively subsidizing them well in excess of the value of the information. But "I'll pay you if you tell me what your little Klan club is up to" isn't illegal and I doubt SPLC donors would be that shocked by it.
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.
Funny that Ted Cruz is in the noise.
