This is a simply astonishing video. Americans should watch it for decades as they try to understand this historical period.
😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

Jan Crawford is making a play for White House press secretary.
Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.
Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

$BAC completes strong set of consumer reports from Big 4 US banks. Debit+credit spend accelerated 100bp to +8% & charge-offs best in 3 years. Delinquencies down. Yes these are prime card portfolios but $BAC as #1 deposit holder has insight across demos. $JPM $C $WFC $XLF $XLY
Like $JPM & $WFC, $C posts strong credit quality, with chargeoffs & delinquencies down. Q3 branded card spend accelerated 100bp to +13% & vs only +6% in Q1 2026! These portfolios skew prime of course, but others like $COF likely to mirror these trends. 💪 $BAC $XLF $XLY $AXP

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

SUSAN COLLINS: I was successful in getting road salt removed from the Canada tariff list TROY JACKSON: What about everything else? We can't eat road salt

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible
Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

At a marathon runtime of four hours, Alex Gibney's new documentary 'Musk' strains to cover the sweep of the oligarch's business empire and its capture of U.S. government. But the interviews with first wife Justine Wilson and latest ex Ashley St. Clair about his vindictive nature hit hardest.

SCOTUS looked at the harm of people being dumped in foreign lands, and the harm of the government not being able to disappear people… and sided with the government.
SCOTUS’s shadow docket strikes again. Third-country removals are back on, using a policy that two federal courts have now ruled is unlawful.
