@stephruhle.bsky.social I appreciate all of your coverage and have a request to address the type of oil Trump brags about getting from Venezuela. It’s a very heavy crude and requires different refineries than what we have in the United States. He continues to brag about this oil we’re going to have!

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Today my legal team filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction to nullify Trump Administration's revocation of my security clearance & reinstate my eligibility. The effort is supported by expert declaration & demonstrates unconstitutional action. Govt has 7 days to respond. Hearing within 21 days.

I will continue to challenge any presidential administration, especially to assist lawful whistleblowers. The revocation of my security clearance had nothing to do with protecting the national security interests of the US but was purely to prevent me from holding this Administration accountable.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

A Trump-nominated judge on Thursday issued a groundbreaking ruling that said the president was wrong to claim that the activities of a Venezuelan gang in the U.S. amounted to an “invasion” that justified invoking a wartime law.
