Wife asked why I had not put the garbage out for pickup and I had to remind her that the Dow is over 50,000 dollars.

Other emails in this exchange make clear that the redacted word in the penultimate graf is "don't" -- almost as if a search was undertaken for, perhaps, a name that starts with D-O-N so that it might be redacted. I'm stumped as to whom Bondi was trying to protect. Anyone? Bueller?

It is heartbreaking to watch a hack like Pam Bondi "testify" before Congress and rant about the level of the Dow and S&P. We are so very unserious.

That our DOJ is openly, publicly, demonstrably protecting multiple pedophiles is revolting beyond words. And, to be clear, I want *everyone* investigated and, if appropriate, charged. And Howard Nutlick should resign yesterday.

I ❤️ this so much that it's hard for me to articulate. The fact that he's said "there's more than one way to look at it" fills my heart. It's rare to see an idiot so eager to tell the world exactly how stupid he is.

There was just no way to know that giving him your lunch money would embolden him and have him coming back for more. THANK YOU to all the spineless institutions -- to numerous to mention here -- that enabled this bully instead of punching him in the face. 🙏

1, 5, and 10 years from now, “Melania” will still not have turned a profit, but sure, let’s celebrate the alleged stronger-than-expected box office. A bribe by any other name is still a bribe. And a small one at that given some recent revelations.

Clicked through to the study Trump cites in his laughable WSJ op-Ed. He claims the study totally vindicates his tariffs (like no one has ever seen before). Here's how ChatGPT summarizes that very study:

I believe Lutnick has claimed to have severed ties with Epstein long before this. But perhaps it's another Jeffrey Epstein with an island in the Caribbean. Hard to know.

One of the lies Bessent likes to tell (without evidence or push back from Eisen) is rent prices are going down because of the aggressive deportation strategy would be nice if someone at CNBC was ready with this chart next time
