JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Hey man, when I called to schedule an MRI appointment at my local VA last week, they told me there were no openings until NOVEMBER. Maybe work on that before you start calling for more war with Iran. You can't even take care of the combat vets you have. Why are you trying to create new ones?

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

NBC cut out the boos "If a US administration figure is booed at the Olympics in LA, or a World Cup match in New Jersey or Dallas, will American domestic broadcasts simply mute or avoid mentioning the crowd audio? What happens when 40,000 phones in the stadium upload their own version in real time?"

theguardian.comThe world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen GrahamThe real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Afghanis that came to America in 2021 were given refugee status because of deals TRUMP made with the Taliban to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan. Trump excluded the US-backed President of Afghanistan from those negotiations Trump invited taliban to Camp David on 9/11/2020

I like how you move past the fact that the shooter was granted asylum under *this* administration as quickly as possible in order to maintain the Trump fiction that this is somehow Biden's fault. Sulzberger does it again.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
