  1. This is clearly the time when they try to apply the “both sides” of the story is suspect without blowback and checking the facts — when one side is basically gaslighting the hell out of the American public and they know it.

  2. So what are the damn institutional investors doing and the banks? Have they called for his ouster yet, or are they all a part of this dangerous idiotic economic policy train wreck manipulating our markets and causing global economic meltdowns.

  3. Crypto lobby is the biggest con on the planet. They bought three Senate seats and are ramrodding legislation and deregulation initiatives to take the teeth out of both banking and SEC regs. This is also what happens when you put greedy private hedge fund guys at Treasury, Commerce and the SEC.

  4. Schumer + Jeffries write to Johnson +Thune requesting "Big 4" mtg this week on upcoming Sept. 30 gov't funding deadline:”We request you swiftly convene a so-called Big 4 mtg. this week, for the 4 of us to discuss the govt funding deadline + healthcare crisis you’ve visited upon the American people."

    Congress of the U.S. 
Aug. 4, 2025
The Hon Mike Johnson Speaker
U.S. House of Representatives
The Honorable John Thune
Majority Leader
U.S. Senate
Dear Speaker Johnson & Leader Thune:
We write in connection with the Sept. 30 government funding deadline that fast approaches. As Leaders of the House and Senate, you have the responsibility to govern for all Americans and work on a bipartisan basis to avert a painful, unnecessary shutdown at the end of September. Yet it is clear that the Trump Administration and many within your party are preparing to 'go it alone' and continue to legislate on a solely Republican basis.
As a result of your choice to pursue a partisan agenda this Congress, 15 million Americans will now lose their health care. Put simply, it need not be this way. The Senate recently demonstrated that Congress is still able to achieve bipartisan appropriations legislation for the American people when the legislative process is permitted to work. Today, we wish to reiterate that we should pursue a bipartisan path— you can work with us to protect health care for the American people and chart a better course for this country. Americans - whether Republican, Democrat, or Independent - want their leaders to put them first and focus on lowering the cost of living here in America. Instead, over the past seven months, Republicans in both the Senate and House have largely rejected bipartisanship, which has been devastating for American families who will now pay more for everything from health care, to groceries, to utility bills, to essential goods and services. This is not what voters had in mind when they handed Republicans very narrow majorities in Congress and a paper-thin presidential victory to Donald Trump.
Therefore, we request you swiftly convene a so-called Big Four meeting this week, for the four of us to discuss the government funding deadline and the health care crisis you have visited upon the American people. We anticipate your prompt reply.
Sincerel…

  6. Our tax dollars went to #FBI agents toiling over this 24/7?! This really is a huge cover-up. Bloomberg journalist Jason Leopold reported that the president’s name has been redacted from more than 100,000 documents the FBI has on child-sex trafficker #Epstein. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

    The bureau’s FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents ‘would not be appropriate or warranted....
