Excuse me, WUT!

You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

Walz: "'I don't know, do you really think limiting them to less than 100 bullets is going to do anything?' Yes! Yes it is. Yes it is going to save lives ... it's time to start reporting that that is all bullshit. It does do something. It does make a difference."

This…is not economics
Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."

Trump, last week: “When will I get credit for having created ... perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country?”

Reality, this week: The unemployment rate has reached a four-year high and 2025 is the worst year for job growth since the Great Recession. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Unemployment rate reaches a four-year high as Trump’s economic woes continue
If this is “the greatest economy in the history of our country,” why has job growth slowed to a 15-year low?

In a brief interview with Jeremy Wallace from the Houston Chronicle, Jasmine Crockett sets the record straight on Gaza and Israel.

The attack on her, the slicing and dicing of past clips to spin a false narrative, feels very reminiscent of what was done to Kamala Harris.

Stay frosty, my friends.❄️

“Critics aren’t buying it. The progressive veterans advocacy group VoteVets called the planned cuts ‘outrageous,’ adding, ‘It is abundantly clear that Republicans and the Trump administration want to strangle the VA until it all gets privatized.’”

VA eyeing 35,000 health care job cuts, drawing rebuke from veterans’ group
Trump's VA secretary said months ago, “We’ll be making major changes, so get used to it.” We're now getting a sense of what that means in practical terms.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

The last thing our veterans need is FEWER people making sure they get the health care they need.

This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.

Smugglers, money launderers and sanctioned people once relied on diamonds, gold and artwork. Now, criminals have a far more practical alternative: stablecoins, a cryptocurrency tied to the U.S. dollar that exists largely beyond traditional financial oversight.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude.

It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post
