Give this man another trillion dollars.
This is insane. 🤦‍♂️

Why do tech giants like Elon Musk and Bill Gates keep on saying such dumb things about climate change?

The RBA says it's 'in a bind.' 🥊

This is a carefully crafted story of helplessness. It's a lie.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
