Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

BREAKING: Major TV networks — ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC — agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of President Trump after the White House blocked CNN from its duties.

This is the attack position if tariffs are to be a part of your campaign message. Wins even R's.

In a time of bonkers stories, this one may just take the cake. It turns out Tulsi Gabbard reportedly was little more than a puppet for a Hare Krishna sect’s guru this whole time. Read that sentence again, then read my write-up in the link in the comments.

Amazingly, Trump actually seems to have believed that his command could contradict Nature! Alas, Trump 0, Nature 2 The Capital Reflecting Pool is as green as ever after $30 million wasted.

A true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

This shifting position is especially relevant given new data from a Phase 3 trial in adults ages 50 & older, in which Moderna reported that its mRNA flu vaccine was 27% more effective than existing alternatives- again, this is the opposite of RFK Jr.'s claims. 🧪 8/n www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

BREAKING: Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts were placed at 3:40 AM ET, about 70 minutes before Axios reported the U.S. and Iran were nearing a “14-point” deal to end the war. Oil then plunged more than 12%, with the position gaining an estimated $125 million. Unusual.

"Senate Republicans propose $1 billion for Trump's ballroom." Those cheap bastards! We want REAL ass kissing. $20 billion, $50 billion. Kiss long and hard. Get your tongue into it.

Farcical search "attempt" in which DOJ assumes judge is not familiar with regular expression.

FOIA CASE UPDATE: So Judge Boasberg ordered the government to search DOGE records for Musk’s private phone number. The DoJ just responded with their results. Did they basically just search for messages that contain “Musk phone”? lol do I have that right @nationalsecuritylaw.org?

Genuinely curious if Israel knows how to fight a war that isn't a genocide.

Working The Issue@claytonabernathy.bsky.social

Israel waited for Iran's version of Congress to be in session so that the building would be full, selecting the next leader of their country. You know, regime change. Then they blew up the building. www.jpost.com/middle-east/...
