Carter Page was a legitimate target for surveillance.
If an American who has been on U.S. intelligence’s radar before is seen in Moscow telling people he has a special in with a major U.S. party presidential candidate and can sell access, that’s something U.S. counterintelligence should look into.
Trump now worth $6.5B (+$1.4B since taking office).
Don Jr. & Eric Trump each went from ~$40-50M to $300-400M range via crypto. Broader Trump family wealth has nearly doubled to as high as $10 billion. All of this wealth has been acquired leveraging the power and authority of the White House.
Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me.
That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly.

Loomerism. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to dropsitenews.com
appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
"They're staffing the administration... Laura Ingraham’s in business with Donald Trump Jr. I mean, they’re just in too deep at this point."
@mattgertz.bsky.social told me don't expect Fox News to distance itself from an increasingly unpopular Trump anytime soon.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.
Whoa.
MR. DVORETZKY: -- of a conviction. Second ーー JUSTICE ALITO: -- there's the Heritage Reporting Corporation Official - Subject to Final Review 67 alien -- I'm sorry, go ahead. MR. DVORETZKY: No. Well, the -- the only -- the only other point I was going to make is, to the extent this is a difficult burden for the officer, which I actually don't think it is, that simply reflects Congress's
You cannot tell me for a minute that this man is staying on the bench. He is already living with a vision of a future in which a cool sea breeze is swaying the flag of the day over his beach house.
(And, yet, it was also petty Alito, kissing up to the Chief after his Sotomayor interjection.)
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Missed your game calls. All good?
Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead??

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.
The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.
No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
Way to put the honorees front and center 🙄

Whenever someone like Eisen pulls this crap the first thing you do is turn the question on them. It should be a simple answer. Then you ask them why they think the other individual (Warsh in this case) was unable to answer it. Politics has no place on the FOMC.
Fox News claims its "analysis" shows that Trump is "closing gap among young voters."
To make that point, they show -- the 2024 election results.
Meanwhile, NBC News' latest poll shows that 76% of voters aged 18-29 disapprove of Trump.

UAL CEO being all cute and coy about this ugh. Also they’ve pre paid the White House bribes. (Either ballroom or America 250)
If the courts wants to weigh in they should start with the one that the voters didn't get a say.
Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"
