You really have to watch the whole thing. Booker clearly had no idea he was going to be asked real questions.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Pardon me? What did you say? We knew this was coming. The question is, why? Why would Trump pardon his ol' buddy Epstein's gal pal? + Isn't it strange how he doesn't know anything when it's convenient for him? Project 2025? Maxwell? Epstein? 'Telling' that he said THEY lived in Palm Springs. Hmm?

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Important to understand that many lies are not meant to be convincing. When a schoolyard bully steals your lunch money, he says "that's mine." The absurdity is the point. It's an assertion of dominance. It is to say "reality is whatever I say it is. You disagree? What are you gonna do about it?"

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial
