No big surprise that the rich are against the billionaire tax in California. One of the ads running is by Golden State Promise, a PAC founded and largely financed by cryptocurrency executive Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple Labs.

Bragging about stealing another country's oil and making money off it is not the positive flex he seems to think it is. It should be something that sends him directly to jail.

Okay, this actually made me chuckle. The reality really stinks (and it's all Trump's fault), but it's nice to be able to find a little humor.

Trump: -Dropped fraud charges against an Indian billionaire after he hired Trump's personal lawyer -Pardoned Binance's CEO after he boosted Trump's crypto business -Scrapped consumer protections after the airline industry hired Trumpworld lobbyists Pay-to-play corruption.

Interesting that with all of the ranting by the current Republican administration about "election fraud", Trump has gone out of his way to interfere in a case of someone actually CONVICTED of "facilitating a security breach." I guess they DO support election fraud--if it is in their interest?

Proof again that crime really does pay if you know the right people. Also proves that ethics and morals are a thing of the past for those who bow to "pressure campaigns." Sounds like Polis does not deserve to be in office; I certainly can't imagine that his constituents trust him after this.

The Epstein files were legally supposed to be released 146 days ago. If citizens ignored court orders and federal law for 146 days, they’d be in jail. When the government officials do it, nothing happens.

Truly appalling.

Our government isn’t broken. It works great for billionaires. For Big Pharma. For Wall Street. For corporations that can hire lobbyists. It's rigged for the wealthy and well-connected. We need to build a better system—one that works for working people.

So crazy to "declare" Epic Fury (aka Epic Failure) to have concluded when nothing has been resolved and things are now worse than they were before Trump stupidly decided to start a war as a distraction for his other failures. If he hadn't started a war, the Strait would have remained open.

Appalling that these people think it's fine for toxins to be released that will cause illness and/or death because not doing so would be "unduly costly for the energy industry." They/Zeldin should all be forced to drink a glass of that contaminated water every day if they're so unworried about it.

Remind me again -- which president (with the initials DT) "pardoned or commuted the sentences of everyone who attacked the officers" from the January 6 attacks? JD is such an embarrassment to this country.

According to publicly available metrics, 84.9% of Yale med school applicants were white or Asian, but the DOJ still insists those groups are being discriminated against? 54.9% White 30.0% Asian I guess they really want to see 100% white. (No doubt they'll complain about the Asian % next.)

I guess that means that Jordan won't be back on CNN any time soon then, since Trump and his minions appear to be focusing on making bad decisions that are causing prices to continue to rise (along with corporate profits). No wonder "70% disapprove of Trump on the economy."

You have to wonder what kind of drugs "Fox host Emily Compagno" is taking if she thinks Trump is representative of the people's will (his approval has plummeted) and is serving "as a public servant instead of putting himself or his wife first." I'm amazed she could spew that with a straight face.

Looks like Mr. Hilton has the same inability to answer a yes/no question as members of the Trump administration do. No wonder he has an endorsement from Trump.

No surprise. Anyone with any intelligence would have seen this result coming.

Only 10 minutes in to watching the latest California Gubernatorial debate and already I've seen enough smirking to last a lifetime.

Just in case you were under the mistaken impression that Patel had any respect for anyone or anything. 👇

What a powerful exhibit. Also, appalling that there has been only one conviction and that more time was spent redacting information about the abusers than protecting/providing justice for the victims.

Finally including women in clinical trials (in 1993) is a great of example of the benefits of a diversity, equity, and inclusion perspective, since, as it turns out, our population is made up of more than just white men.

Proof that we CAN have nice things when there are leaders who are focused on the good of the people.

So . . . the DOJ is basically saying that they are against people being disciplined for breaking the law? That seems like a problem.

It's not about fraud. It was never about fraud. It continues to be about retribution for anyone and anything this worthless Republican administration doesn't like or feels is a threat. They are like the worst schoolyard bullies around.

Pretty ironic that JD Vance is over in Maine pretending that this Republican administration is focused on going after non-proven fraud when they continue to pardon/drop charges against actual major fraudsters who "invest" so their fraud will be ignored.

O M G. Pretty pathetic when these folks have no actual value to provide to the country and can only replay the tired old cult message of "the Biden adminstration." What terrible inferiority complexes they all appear to have.

Reposting this as a reminder -- since Trump seems to have given JD the microphone for the day. JD has already admitted that he "is willing to create stories to get media attention."

This is a rich quote from JD Vance considering the Republican administration he is a part of. More likely, it is just a confession.

U.S. households have paid an extra $268 every week in fuel costs since the start of Trump’s Iran War. With the spike, it's estimated that ExxonMobil’s full-year earnings will climb 46%. And Chevron's profits are expected to jump 56% for the year. It’s far past time for a windfall profits tax.

What does it mean? It means -- again -- that he doesn't know what he is talking about. 1. It requires Congress to act 2. It will help the producers, is unlikely to have any impact, on consumer prices, and will create further problems down the line.

No one should be surprised by this. The real question is, what is anyone going to do about it?

Bad for so many reasons--not only the long term degradation of all of the work that the gas tax funds, but the past has proven that producers are the ones that profit from the reduction of gas taxes, consumers continue to pay higher prices since this IN NO WAY INCREASES THE SUPPLY OF GAS.

The victory in Iraq? Does he even know what year this is?

Great. So is anything going to happen? Will Musk or any of his minions be held accountable/fined/jailed? When will all of the grants be restored? What about all of the damage caused in the meantime? Or will this escalate to SCOTUS who will reverse this ruling?

Friendly reminder to folks buying those cases of plastic bottled water -- not only do the bottles wind up littering the planet, but you're exposing yourself to chemicals as well. A better option is to get a reusable drinking container and fill it from the tap (filtered if you want). Saves $$ too.

So help me understand. The Virginia Supreme Court has decided that abiding by the will of the voters is unacceptable. But it's fine for the other states that are rigging their elections without any input from the voters--even in the midst of voting? Pathetic.

At this point, he's threatened them so many times and then done nothing that they probably just laugh at him when ever he talks. Guess maybe starting a war to distract from his other failures wasn't such a good idea after all.

"Let me see . . . should I listen to my child's pediatrician or the former heroin addict who cuts the penises off roadkill to take home? Yeah, the dude with the racoon penis, not the dude with an MD. Boy, that was an easy decision, y'all!"

What kind of moron drives in a big, heavy motorcade THROUGH the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool? How incredibly stupid and disrespectful.

So, the war that Trump claimed is over is apparently not over (big surprise). So I guess that means were back to "Trump is conducting an illegal war"?

Mr. Homan might need to do some research, since there have been multiple reports of US citizens being deported.

Yet more of the destruction the current Republican Administration has wrought.

Completely baffling that ANYONE is against the Pope urging peace. Guessing they'll be going straight to h*ll.

Could Duffy be more of an idiot? Urging Americans to drive this summer when prices are up 50%? Sounds like he must own oil/gas stocks or something. We are definitely not "in a good place".

Sure seems like firing "every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector" was a stupid move on the part of RFK Jr, though in keeping with his "Make America Sick Again" agenda.

In other words, Trump and Hegseth have been lying to the American people.

Apparently "Chief Justice John Roberts" is living in a fantasy world, possibly on another planet. Or maybe he has just completely lost his grip on reality. Does anyone believe that the SCOTUS decisions these days are NOT political?

Seems like the FBI is willfully ignoring the real problem that the FBI Director apparently is known to drink excessively, and that no one has done anything about it.

The real question is "why is anyone continuing to give air/media time to his random claims?"

Talarico is meeting the moment with the right message.
