That’s not how GDP works. But it is how propaganda works.

The new documents that Congress has forced the Justice Department to release make one thing clear:

We are witnessing a criminal White House cover-up.

As Trump touts higher than expected GDP growth, seems worth pointing out spending on health care is the bulk of it. Is that really something to celebrate?

“this was a stronger than expected print however for all the wrong reasons.”

He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

I know we keep saying this is insane but this is seriously fucking insane.

We continue to stand in solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.

Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Any changes to that status are for Greenlanders and Danes alone to decide. (1/2)

Trump has once again infuriated Greenland by appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as special envoy, who flat-out said, “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S.”

Sharyn Alfonsi from 60 Minutes on CBS pulling CECOT story:

"If the standard for airing a story becomes 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

60 Minutes pulling the CECOT segment didn’t bury the story — it amplified it, drawing far more attention than airing it ever would have.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 60-count indictment drafted before Epstein’s sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up
Both are missing
Transparency law violated.Survivors ignored.Accountability still nowhere in sight

Jess Michaels, one of the earliest known Epstein victims, said the partial release and redactions of the files are “proving everything we have been saying about corruption and delayed justice. What are they protecting? The coverup continues.”

Kerry Kennedy on the name change of the Kennedy Center:

"President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy’s.”

Many expected the prime-time address to be about waging war on Venezuela, but it wasn’t even mentioned. At the same time, a 26th boat was blown out of the water, killing four.
