Gallego: "You said…Trump never demanded you cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony?"

Warsh: "That is."

Gallego: "Someone here is lying then, it's either you or President Trump."

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

My dear departed Hungarian grandma would have been very happy today. She would have celebrated by making Hungarian pancakes (palatschinken) with apricot jam for everyone. That's reason enough to celebrate the victory of democracy over autocracy, corruption and racism right there.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

Marge not holding back

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Hungary 🇭🇺

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.

Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.

It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

The public DOES have a right to know.

For-Profit Hospital Chain Never Put Aside Money for Malpractice Insurance to Compensate Injured Patients Eager to save money, Prospect Medical promised to “self-insure” malpractice claims brought against its doctors and hospitals. The chain’s bankruptcy now threatens to leave hundreds of patients whose claims are pending with no recourse.

Pamela Dorn sued Prospect Medical in 2024 after her husband died while under its care.

But because the now-bankrupt hospital chain never set aside money to self-insure malpractice claims, she may never have a chance to hold Prospect accountable.

Image of a ProPublica headline that reads "They Needed Treatment for Drug Addiction. The Company They Turned to May Have Used Them to Commit Fraud." The headline is illustrated with a pair of hands holding a miniature rehab center. One hand is dropping a small human through the top of the building. From the bottom of the building, a $100 bill emerges.

NEW: Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others.

But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show.

Search warrants show California ballot seizure echoed Fulton County election raid The newly unsealed warrants also raise questions about why law enforcement officers were able to seize ballots unchecked by either the courts or the officials responsible for protecting them.

Newly unsealed search warrants in the California ballot seizure case paint a chilling picture of how the types of anti-voting conspiracy theories weaponized by the White House to investigate the 2020 presidential election can be used to target elections on a state and local level.

We're living through the doom loop once again.

Goddamned engagement farming.

It’s ok to keep some shit to yourself.

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

Trump Is Doing Structural Damage to American Intelligence The issue isn’t just his disregard for facts. It’s that he’s reshaping the government in his image.

"The United States will not only make worse decisions. It will become a less reliable ally, a less formidable adversary, and a less powerful country."

Mockler: He said that we won this war. Every weapon system that was actually a threat to us is still intact.

Rantz: That’s not true.

Mockler: That is absolutely true. Why are the ballistic missiles still firing? Why is the strait of hormuz closed?

Bondi, Bovino, Lewandowski and Noem. They served. They lied. They flailed. And now they’re political roadkill.

An in memoriam for those we've lost in Trump 2.0.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

How is this gonna be anything but 9-0? I mean, in a sane world.
