Bloomberg News today: Arab sheik invested $500 million in Trump crypto. Now intends to put as much in Trump bank, which feds just approved. What other president found so many ways to cash in on presidency?

Donald's Chief of Staff John Kelly said Trump had no knowledge of history. When they visited Pearl Harbor, Trump asked Kelly why they were there. And Donald clearly doesn't know that "Mission Accomplished" was widely mocked as an awkward lie about a failed war. So he uses it in the same way. Idiot.
RFK Jr. has claimed that the U.S. measles outbreak has nothing to do with him. But one of these countries has been running an effective public health campaign, including promoting MMR vaccination, and one has not. Behold the measles cases for 2025-2026 for the U.S. and Canada.
Ossoff: "One of Mike Collins's staffers was posting swastikas online and depicting himself in the costume of the Ku Klux Klan. Disgraceful. Disgraceful and disqualifying. Yet another week, yet another scandal for the bigot, Congressman Mike Collins."

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.
I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try: No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

Dolly Parton helped fund Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine in between providing free books to children. That’s not a joke. That woman saved lives and taught kids how to read, while be stunningly beautiful and entertaining us all. What a legend.
I am astonished by the actions that are being tolerated. This is not reflective of the United States. The U.S. government is behaving similarly to aggressive nations like China, Russia, or North Korea. 😠😡🤬
Good night friends. I hope you enjoy your evening. I’ll see you tomorrow. RIP Dolly Parton.💔
Dolly Parton was a true national treasure! From gifting 200M+ books to fiercely championing LGBTQ+ rights and minority communities, she lead with radical love. "We are who we are," she reminded us, choosing embrace over judgment. Thank you, Dolly, for making the world kinder! Jolene (1974)
Horrifying footage out of Danbury, CT shows ICE agents violently piling on, punching, and pepper-spraying a man on the pavement while bystanders scream for them to stop. Human rights abuses happening in broad daylight cannot be normalized. We MUST demand accountability and justice now! 🎥 ICEOut.org
Yesterday I tested positive for COVID, after spending a couple of days thinking it was hay fever and then realizing it wasn't. Largely due to the expertise and decades of hard work by this man, I am at home, in decent shape and not going to end up dead or in the hospital. Thank you, Dr. Fauci.
