CNN Boss Warns Star Hosts to Avoid Trashing Trump’s Record
During Trump’s first term in office, the network didn’t hesitate to opine on Trump’s history of scandal.

I live in Portugal where on any given day between 85% and 90% of its electricity comes from renewable sources. It’s not a wealthy country, but it’s not owned by the oil companies. EVs are plentiful here. The world is leaving the United States behind in so many ways.

The difference between anarchism and liberalism on this front is that anarchism has never been successful at anything. Anarchists have barely mastered "running an off-putting bookstore"

OpenAI's CFO suggested that the government could be a "backstop" if they can’t pay their bills.
YOUR tax dollars as their "backstop."
Meanwhile, OpenAI pays its employees an average of $1.5 MILLION dollars a year in stock compensation.
Wow.
That's just wrong.

Trump has erased more than a billion dollars in restitution and nearly 2,000 convictions. You need data to understand a break this extreme—so we crunched the numbers.
How to get away with anything: Trump's sordid year of pardons
No president has ever forgiven this much fraud—or stiffed this many victims.

It's weird how Republicans call liberals groomers, but they are totally fine covering up for and protecting Trump, a sexual predator, convicted rapist, and pedophile.

Trump claimed the big game is ‘too far away.’ Privately, his advisers warned he’d likely get booed if he went, sources tell Zeteo.

Casten to Bessent on VZ oil money: "IEEPA specifically says you have to be engaged in hostilities with a country for IEEPA to trigger. Rubio said we are not at war with Venezuela. So unless you disagree w/ him, I'm unclear other what legal authorities the US has to control or disperse those assets"

💥Bombshell, sort of: Polish PM @donald-tusk.bsky.social is the first world leader, as far as I know, to say out loud that Jeffrey Epstein may have worked with Russian intelligence.
As Poland’s PM pledges a serious investigation, one uncanny question remains: how much will US authorities cooperate?

I'll never forgive this sob for not giving a SCOTUS hearing to Merrick Garland because "the will of the people" and then ramrodding Amy Coathanger Barrett to the court after early voting had started. F this MFer.

The last nuclear arms treaty between the US and Russia expires tomorrow.
For the first time since 1969, there will be no constraints.
It's worth remembering that when Trump ended the Iran nuclear deal in his first term, he said there would be a "better deal."
It never happened.
