Boy that "Biden Crime Family" must be jealous.🙄

Elizabeth Williamson once wrote about me, and I can attest she's a skilled, thorough, and honest reporter. If you're in the public eye, you should expect journalists to write about you—especially if you hold public office.

Kash Patel is pure garbage, even when he's sober.

A real President celebrates #EarthDay2022 in Seattle, WA.

Live updates: Iran attacks 3 ships in the Strait of Hormuz as Trump indefinitely extends ceasefire Iran’s Revolutionary Guard fired on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is indefinitely extending its ceasefire with Iran.

Don't count on prices going down any time soon, even in the best case scenario.

Kash's kayfabe lawsuit His defamation claim makes a mockery of the law.

"Patel would be luckiest if The Atlantic succeeds at getting this thing dismissed right away — no, really. Because if this case goes forward, he’s stuck with discovery."

The world's biggest airlines are cancelling flights as they face jet fuel shortages and rising prices Jet fuel prices have spiked and supplies have dwindled as the US and Israeli war on Iran drags on, forcing some airlines to cancel flights.

Fuel costs are soaring, supplies are plummeting, and the world’s biggest airlines are grounded.

Devin Nunes couldn’t competently run a website, house committee or imaginary dairy farm.

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.
