EISEN: You've taken stakes in 5 companies now. Are there going to be more?

BESSENT: I wouldn't be surprised. When we get an announcement like this week with China on rare earths, you realize we have to be self-sufficient or we have to be sufficient with our allies

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Anyone know why Bibi is skipping Egypt?

And can anyone rip Trump from the spotlight for just 10s so others who played actual pivotal roles in the prisoner exchange can speak?

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.

So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.

I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

Today, Donald Trump admired Egyptian dictator el-Sisi’s regime “because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.”

This was a reference to the worst massacre of protesters in modern world history by el-Sisi’s military in 2013.

“I think it’s great.”

Rabaa Massacre: “I think it’s great.”

Trump’s psychology is unspooling. His opposition needs to reorient itself.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

GS: “Did Homan keep the $50,000 bribe?”

VANCE: “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” 🤔

GS: “You didn’t answer the Q… We’ll be right back.”

GS gets fed up with Vance’sabsurd lying and gaslighting — and eventually cuts him off mid-sentence.
