Trump calls rising gas prices “peanuts.” Easy to say when ethics filings show he executed over 3,700 stock trades worth up to $750 million in the first quarter of 2026 while making the exact policy decisions that moved those markets.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump is demanding Netflix remove former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice from its board for saying "it's not going to end well" for corporations that bend the knee to the administration. But Rice was right — and Netflix must stand behind her. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

NEW: Veteran foreign policy expert Susan Rice does not issue warnings lightly. Yet last week she said “it’s not going to end well” for corporations bending the knee to Trump. Now, Netflix faces a decision that will determine which side of history it wants to be on, Marc Elias writes.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

Two possibilities: 1. Mike Johnson is blatantly lying about what he knows. 2. The person who is 2nd in line to the presidency has ordered his staff to keep him ignorant of key government affairs so he can maintain deniability. Either way, totally unacceptable.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight? MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.
