Since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
No checks have been issued

Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

If you can find common ground with Jared kusher, but not zohran mamdani, you shouldn't be in democratic leadership
“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.”

It has been more than nine months since the first emails between Deepak Chopra and Epstein emerged, and the most influential spiritual leaders—such as @marwilliamson.bsky.social, Dispenza, Shetty, Tolle, and Bernstein, to name only a few—are still silent.

standard. SCOTUS allows Trump to continue to create literal facts on the ground while they 'consider' his his meritless challenge. nothing is more important than reforming the court and ending its corruption.

So much of today’s spirituality is debased by manifestation drivel. The abundance LoA class of teachers work on the key pain point of capitalism — making more money — by selling you quick relief such as eliminating your blocks to making money. People will buy that kind of pain relief.

Just 3 weeks ago, JD Vance tried to use the Marine Two helicopter to send his 9-year-old son to a golf lesson. The helicopter costs between $16K-$25K per hour to operate and is paid for by American taxpayers. He has also used it for multiple recent “house hunting” trips in the DC suburbs.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records.

Something I do not understand are the ways in which wellness folks take up untested treatments with no scientific support, because someone else told them to, and with complete disregard for conflicts of interest, while still pointing fingers at Big Pharma, vaccines, etc.
Astonishing.

RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist.

In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

I really hope someone decides to run against her. By contrast with someone like AOC, Gillibrand has zero presence and offers next to nothing to counter this administration.
"Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the DSCC, is a prime example of a Democratic leader whose conduct undermines efforts to hold the Trump administration accountable for their rampant corruption.” Well said. Shame on you @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

Someone once told me, "AOC is really dumb."

I responded: "You obviously watch far too much Fox News. I've watched AOC question witnesses before Congress and she cross-examines more skillfully than many $1,000+/hour attorneys."
