He has the highest rating of any of the equivalent late night shows, by a significant margin. If it was financial they'd give him a raise and increase the marketing budget to increase that gap.

We all know why they did this. The media is 110% complicit in the fall of the country in to fascism.

@tofugolem One of them told me that I should be relieved that women are safer now that bathroom bills exclude transwomen. I said, no, actually, now all girls and women are subject to random genital checks and ID checks in public bathrooms by anyone. And there are no dangers to women from transwomen anyway. That’s all just made up in order to both control women and to attack any vulnerable groups first. So tired of this.

Fuck CBS, Paramount, Ellison. This is no "financial decision." It is Trump taking over American media. This is Hungary. This is disgusting.

Via Kyle Griffin:

GOP Chair Chuck Grassley says Emil Bove's nomination has advanced.

Ranking Member Dick Durbin disputes that, saying it's an open question and may be up to the Senate parliamentarian because Democrats believe Republicans broke committee rules in the process of forcing the vote.

There's a flesh-eating virus that's going to require doctors and scientists to deal with it. All we have now is RFK Jr. and four people are already deceased.

Thanks, American voters.

WSJ - Trump’s letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday has the outline of a naked woman, small arcs denoting breasts with a squiggly ’Donald’ signature below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. It concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffrey

FFOTUS' new big awful ugly bill has a rarely noticed provision to effectively eliminate taxes on startup founder's income. It is a gift of prodigious size to the mega-$billionaires who kow tow to FFOTUS.

I am wondering if one could structure a consulting (or other) business as a startup in which you are are the sole holder of voting stock and also the sole holder of a pool of non-voting stock (yup, that's not only allowed, it is rather common practice.)

Then as you do jobs the client could purchase some of those non-voting shares from you.

Would that result in tax free income? I dunno, but it deserves a looking into.

WATCH: “I’d just like people to freaking approach this Epstein issue with the same zeal & commitment they approached Biden’s age. That’s all I’m asking from the mainstream media.” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on @thebulwark.com #NextLevel pod: youtu.be/zmcc1TLu47I?...

Trump criticizes whoever appointed Fed Chair Powell, forgetting that he did.

And as with so many things, imagine if Biden had done this. But watch the media ignore it.

BREAKING: Democrats go for Donald Trump's jugular on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and demand that MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi be forced to testify along with other top administration officials.

And it gets even better...

“The Trump DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter and President Trump’s suddenly shifting positions, have not restored anyone’s trust in the government but have rather raised profound new questions about their own conduct while increasing public paranoia related to the investigation,” Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to committee chairman Jim Jordan.

“Only a bipartisan public hearing at which Administration officials answer direct questions from elected representatives before the eyes of the American people can restore public trust on the matter,” they added.

Bondi previously stated that the Epstein client list was sitting on her desk to he reviewed. Later, a Justice Department memo claimed that there was no list, that there was no evidence of an Epstein blackmail list, and that there was no evidence that he was murdered. Now, Trump is absurdly claiming that there are unreleased Epstein files but they were written by Barack Obama and so should be ignored.

In their letter, these top Democrats also called for FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify and for subpoenas to be issued if they refuse. They wrote that such hearings would "go a long way toward restoring some public trust in the integrity of federal law enforcement."

The Democrats further called for an investigation into whether Trump himself has something to hide in this case. Such a probe is absolutely necessary given his erratic, suspicious behavior and the fact that Elon Musk has alleged that he’s implicated in the files.

At this point, the most benign explanation is that Bondi and other MAGA figures knowingly lied about this case to feed the flames of conspiracy theories and excite the Republican base. If that is indeed the case, they should all resign in shame immediately. If the truth is darker, they should be prosecuted.
