It never occurred to Trump that he could buy it directly from South Korea — but then, he wouldn’t be able to help Russia.

One in five American families fell behind on a loan or mortgage payment in the past year — up from one in eight in 2022 and the highest since 2007.

The NYPD (God bless 'em) has just released their surveillance videos, which show unequivocally that all the statements made by Markwayne Mullin about the Marble Hill shooting are false. But then we knew that. Let's give him a five-Pinocchios award for today's show. bsky.app/profile/reic...

Diesel futures fell after Trump announced a “massive” European oil release.⁣ ⁣ Then traders read the actual G7 statement, and the entire price move vanished.⁣ ⁣ Turns out the massive release was mostly a PR stunt. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Pathological liars just can’t stop lying. Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.” The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

Another priority for Trump was painting the exterior columns white in place of what he had deemed a “fake gold color.” Former employees report that the center diverted money — $1.4 million — that had been allocated for the waterproofing repairs to finance the $4.4 million column repainting project.
