If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.

Trump accused of violent sexual assault in bombshell missing Epstein file interview

Does this mean Lewandowski will now have to bang Mullin?

Rep. Keating is in disbelief as DoD official Elbridge Colby plays dumb about a decision to suspend US weapons shipment *that was made by Colby's office*

Ryan to Colby: "In his victory speech, Trump said, 'I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.' How can we consider that anything but a straight up betrayal? I think you are lying to the American people about it, I think the VP is lying about it, I think the president is lying about it."

MOULTON: How many pages is your opening statement? It's 1,700 words. You devoted one sentence to the war in Iran and not one word to the six soldiers who have been killed in action. Do you think that's appropriate?

COLBY: I have only the deepest respect for those soldiers and their families

PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell?

COLBY: Defer to you

R: That was Trump. How about this - 'we simply cannot afford to get enmeshed in a Middle East war'

C: Defer to you

R: That was actually you

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Pete Hegseth is one Iran update away from showing up smeared in fake blood, war paint and holding up plastic skulls.

JACOBS: Are we at war with Iran?

COLBY: We're in a military action

JACOBS: Yesterday, Trump said 'we're doing very well on the war front' and previously he said, 'we should expect casualties because that often happens in war.' So is he wrong?

COLBY: I'm not the right person to weigh in

OK, as the actual journalist who has been unwittingly caught up in the Claude rumor this morning (who also covers AI disinformation) let me clear this one up for the record.

To recap: Claude kind of implicated itself in the Iran school bombing citing (in part) my reporting...

It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

Maybe they’re just confused:

1) im•mi•nent—About to happen
“They were in imminent danger.”

2) em•i•nent—Respected in a particular sphere
"One of the world's most eminent con artists."

3) im•ma•nent—Existing or operating in.
"The protection of liberties is immanent in constitutional arrangements.”

He’s quite aware I’m sure.

It’s gonna suck when the Rapture happens and God refuses to take most of them.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Chevron's hometown paper is quiet on climate. Guess who owns it? The Richmond Standard has little to say about the gas flares, haze, and smoke plumes that shape life in its California community.

Chevron is Richmond’s largest employer—and its largest polluter. When it flares hazardous gases, there is no daily newspaper to report on health concerns or keep residents in the know.

Perhaps that's because the Richmond Standard is owned by Chevron itself.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

I don’t know about you, but I’m NOT breathing easy.

PADILLA: If President Trump or Stephen Miller directed you to send ICE agents to polling places, would you say 'no'?


NOEM: There is no plan to send ICE officers to polling locations. Are you planning on sending illegal aliens to vote?

PADILLA: No. That's already illegal

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?

NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information

SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

Mark Kelly to Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "I'm trying to understand whether you believe Iran can be primarily contained by our regional partners, which is what you wrote a few weeks ago, or is it imminent threat to the US as President Trump just told the American people? Can't be both"

Thou Shalt Not Try to Start Armageddon Stop it.

U.S. commanders explicitly told troops the war on Iran is a ‘Christian war to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus.’

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

LOL: Schiff notes that Kristi Noem's propaganda was more expensive than a lot of movies.

Trump: "We won on tariffs, actually. Somebody said, 'You actually won the case.' We won on tariffs. You had a decision that was wrong."

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
