Donald Trump’s latest press conference from the Oval Office was a disaster from start to finish. Trump admitted his tariffs will raise praises, fawned over Putin, and spread even more deranged lies.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
