BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Marge went absolutely nuts on Trump in a new interview, branding his MAGA movement a “big lie” and accusing the president of ignoring U.S. citizens so that he can focus on waging “war on behalf of Israel.” “MAGA is — I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people.”

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

JPM DESK: Inflation “remains one of the most credible macro risks to the Equity bull case .. The longer-term risk is the pressure on small businesses .. The farm industry is one where bankruptcies are elevated and where tariffs are above the average, effective tariff rates.” 👀

In all probability, the Board of Peace will be forgotten quickly. If it is remembered at all, it will be as a testament to Trump’s tendency to make everything — even, or perhaps especially, the noble search for world peace — all about his own self-aggrandizement. wapo.st/46dUKAF

!!!! "Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

The way to end all this is for the EU to immediately get hyper-aggressive with sanctioning and tariffing every American they can find. The man has worse approvals than at any point in his prior term plus it’s an election year. It’s all a bluff. Call it!

Why aren't Trump's tariffs saving manufacturing? "Trump put enormous tariffs on steel... That's a little bit like putting tariffs on flour and asking what do you think is going to happen to bakeries... Trump has put us at enormous disadvantage relative to foreign competitors."

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.
