The $3 meal… “We’ve run over a thousand simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing.” -Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.

Another Election Night in the books at NewsNation.

Can Ukraine win the war? President Trump, in a dramatic twist, now seems to think so. Ambassador John Herbst tells us how it could actually happen.

Reminder: our show is more factual and fair than anything else on TV at the same time. Weekdays 3-6pmET. @newsnation.bsky.social @adfontesmedia.bsky.social

“We want peace.”

Our Don, Jr interview covered a lot of ground - business conflicts, political ambitions, dangerous rhetoric, and Elon Musk.

Here’s a reminder to join us each weekday from 3-6pmET on @newsnation.bsky.social for a show that’s more fact-based and less biased than the competition. That’s what the independent analysts at @adfontesmedia.bsky.social say.

@kennatori.bsky.social joined @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social to discuss the impact of tariffs on the apparel industry. Natori is proud to be celebrating its 48th anniversary as an independent, family-owned business. Watch the interview here: bit.ly/4jqGyZy

Town halls are more than messaging for Dems, they're muscle memory. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social says we'll soon need masses of voters showing up, like at @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social rallies. Co-founder @adamgreen321.bsky.social joins @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social.

THEY ERASED JACKIE ROBINSON from DoD websites. Yes, really. A great ceasefire deal…for Russia. Trump getting played by Putin. 20,000 more vets fired. And much more. My weekly national security and politics segment with @connellmcshane.bsky.social on #NewsNation: youtu.be/dSJICR8PG0Q?...

“I just could not believe what I was seeing. It’s President Trump at his worst. President Trump as an ill-mannered bully insulting a war hero. This wasn’t an Oval Office photo-op. This was an ambush.” - Geraldo joining us on @newsnation.bsky.social

This is a good headline for Trump - Apple has announced it's investing $500 billion in the United States and hiring 20,000 people.

Why did #Trump hand #Putin the keys? Trying to break down this odd "negotiation" over #Ukraine with @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=rheX...

What on earth to expect next in the Middle East? Is the #Gaza ceasefire unraveling? What's up with #Trump's new deadline? Trying to make sense of it with @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pcY...

It's like old times this weekend - Trump vs. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. The Board says if Trump keeps up the trade war, it "will qualify as one of the dumbest in history." Trump says the "globalist" board is "always wrong."

The chaotic Trump is back. Week 1 went about as well as his supporters could have hoped. Week 2...not so much.

Maybe Kai-Fu Lee had it right. He says he feels vindicated after writing about how the United States would lead AI breakthroughs, but China's engineering would be better and faster. DeepSeek has some people rattled.

⚡️Trump is doing what he promised/threatened and sending 1,500 active duty troops to the Mexican border, MORE new Hegseth allegations hit, and is Trump coming around on Ukraine?!?? My regular weekly segment with @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social youtu.be/K4TUlyaNGHc?...

NY Times: "When inmates are released from federal prison, the Justice Department places a call to their victims, notifying them that the defendant who attacked them is now free. On Tuesday, the phones of U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. police officers were buzzing nonstop."

Do you have a favorite inaugural address? I just finished re-watching the following to prep for tomorrow's coverage: Trump '17, Obama '09, Reagan '81 & '85 (inside), Kennedy '61, Roosevelt '33.

This is pretty crazy. If JFK lived as long as Carter, he would have died when Trump was president.

The Wall St Journal has a list of companies donating to Trump’s inauguration after saying they’d rethink donations following January 6th. The list includes Ford, Toyota, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America.

"What I experienced defending the Capitol against rioters was worse than the combat I saw in Iraq." "Over the last four years, it’s been devastating to me to hear Donald Trump repeat his promise to pardon insurrectionists on the first day he’s back in office."

Populism is popular right now so Biden will oppose this deal. Problems solved for US Steel workers? Nope. New ones created…like layoffs if a new buyer doesn’t step up.

The public reaction to Luigi Mangione is out of control.

It's very DOGE-like. Come to work...in person...five days a week.

Interesting - where the Dems went wrong on immigration

This was some crazy stuff on NewsNation last night

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta donates $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund.

New hope for a hostage deal...

The Luigi Mangione story...

Even before this tragic incident we have been seeing denials of claims for necessary care by insurance companies for years! @connellmcshane.bsky.social #Newsnation

“And will the Iranians — weakened by the loss of Hamas and Hezbollah, and now Mr. al-Assad — conclude that their best path is to open a new negotiation with Mr. Trump, only months after sending hit men to kill him?”

The CEO killing highlights the anger toward insurance companies over policies like prior authorization. Rejection rates varied from 4% to 13% among insurers, and UnitedHealthcare’s, at 8.7%, wasn’t the highest.

I don't see how Hegseth survives at this point. Meantime, Marc Caputo reports there are two nominees Trump is willing to go to war for: RFK, Jr & Tulsi Gabbard.

Bloomberg reports companies are spending more on security, but some still "don't want the hassle" of providing a detail for executives.

Ron DeSantis...Defense Secretary? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It's about the INSTITUTIONS. Doug Ollivant has been writing some interesting and smart reflections on the election. douglasollivant.substack.com/p/more-on-in...

Joe Biden pardons Hunter Biden

The Kash Patel Principle - The Atlantic “If Trump’s goal is to break the FBI and undermine its missions, Kash Patel is the perfect nominee.” apple.news/APKGePDywQ5e...

This Jets game is such a Jets game...

Axios says Trump didn’t give Lighthizer a Cabinet post because he’s too timid. Not sure I’ve heard Lighthizer and timid in the same sentence before.

Let’s see how our system of checks & balances works with Kash Patel.

Here I am…on @bsky.app. We’ll see how it goes.
