NEW on “Paper Trail”: Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It also cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to make. Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts:

Trump is desperate for attention on his 80th birthday. Instead, Sunday will be a night of localized organizing around the nation — featuring Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Julia Roberts, Lily Gladstone, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, Sasha Allen, Peppermint, and many more friends of the First Amendment.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

Melania must testify. Why hasn’t she been called? Hillary was made to testify under oath- why not Melania who actually knew the man?

Sadly this morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roughly 45 million acres of national forest land.

Pay close attention. Embedded in this insane war bill is the Save America act. Trump wants billions for his military industrial cronies while stealing the election at the same time.

According to Gates’ congressional testimony, Epstein learned about his infidelities and tried to use that information to pull him back in. One more reminder that Epstein’s real currency wasn’t money. It was secrets

New US strikes on Iran. Reportedly Iran has already started firing back, too. If this turns into all-out war again, I fear that we’re going to find out that Iran is better prepared this time. I hope I’m wrong.

SUBRAMANYAM: You tweeted in March that the US Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. Was that true? CHRIS WRIGHT: No.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

There’s a reason they’re targeting libraries. They don’t want you educated. They don’t want you to have a nuanced view of history. Or to read novels that will give you empathy. Or to know about inspiring women, Black or LGBTQ people. They want you intellectually small and easy to manipulate.

It was a really stupid idea to host the World Cup here. There were plenty of opportunities to change locations. Yes it would have cost a lot of money but at least non-white players, officials & fans would be allowed to play coach & attend the games. The president of FIFA should be ousted asap.

Two months ago today:

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

Shameful beyond words!

the President is nuts and sundowning. most remarkable is that everyone surrounding him pretends he is not. Clearly none of these squirrels believes he/she will ever have to give up power, and if that doesn't scare you, you need ur own head examined. www.youtube.com/live/duC6uWC...

Referee denied entry. Officials denied entry. Players denied entry. Fans denied entry. The U.S. is proving exactly why it never should’ve been chosen to host the World Cup.

That’s called a bribe.

What I see is investigators questioning and accusing secretaries and assistants who worked for Epstein while ignoring the high ranking creeps who actually participated in Epstein’s sexual misconduct through financial networks and fake underground socialization. It’s not the secretary stupid.

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?

But sure, let them have CNN too.
