Dollar staggers near 4-year low after knockback from Trump comments
The U.S. dollar struggled near four-year lows on Wednesday after President Donald Trump brushed off its recent weakness, exacerbating greenback selling and lifting the yen, euro and sterling ahead of the Federal Reserve policy decision.

What emerges from Todd Blanche's statements: the FBI excluded local Minnesota and Minneapolis authorities from an investigation that it never in fact ever conducted—because of orders from the top that it not do so. No investigation of this homicide occurred.

This is utterly deranged.
Screenshot of a post by Nick Schifrin (@nickschifrin) on X/Twitter. The post reads:

“NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

‘Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT’”

How to lose the 21st century to China:

1. Unilaterally disarm regarding the soft power competition by ending economic aid and international media agencies.

2. Impose tariffs irrationally on everyone.

3. Invade Greenland, break up NATO, and isolate the US from the entire world. 

4. Defund universities.

5. Discourage the best and brightest from immigrating to the US.

6. Withdraw from international organizations, handing over their control to the Chinese Communist Party. 

7. Foment polarization between Americans.

8. Stop supporting democracy abroad; just talk about power.

9. Weaken American democratic institutions at home.

The network's top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story on an editorial call Wednesday morning, according to staffers who listened.
"There was big internal dissension about the
'internal bleeding' report here last night," the
CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said. "It was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who'd carry it online."
"Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin's justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources," said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment.

Marco Rubio, June 2012.
National Review article excerpt. It reads: "On the other hand, when I hear some people accuse immigrants of destroying the American economy and culture and stealing jobs from American citizens, it stirs my anger, too. I can’t stand to hear immigrants described in terms more appropriate to a plague of locusts than human beings. And although I believe they are a small minority, I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada."
