In recent weeks, Trump has become increasingly agitated whenever reporters press him on statements he made that he now insists he can’t remember
Reporter: You said he would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd Trump: I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with me… Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

“To make sure WE make the right choice.” The decision should be whether it’s an antitrust violation not who the regime thinks is a better choice for regime propaganda.
SORKIN: Trump said yesterday he's going to be part of making the decision about Netflix's transaction with Warner Brothers. Presidents prior have never publicly declared their involvement in these decisions. They're usually left to the antitrust department inside the DOJ.

So let me get this straight. The Russian government fully bans X and that is not “censorship,” while the EU allows X but enforces consumer protection laws against false advertisement and false verification and that is “censorship?”

The United States says in its National Security Strategy that it is now official US policy to weaken and destroy the European Union and prop up right-wing political parties in Europe that are aligned with Putin and phase out NATO as a permanent organization.

Bragging that we’re paying banks, foreign countries, and other institutions a record amount of interest to service our national debt is not the flex you think it is.
U.S. Treasuries are having their best year since 2020, and the investors who had confidence and faith in President Trump’s economic policies have been richly rewarded. Never bet against @POTUS or America! 🇺🇸

When a bully hits, you hit back. Trump and Republicans are attempting an unprecedented mid-cycle redistricting maneuver. Virginia is stepping in to level the playing field. Thank you @MeidasTouch for having me.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us — we want you to be part of this politics beyond just the ballot box. That’s something we’ve been looking to share with

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

Scott: And I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to get to a 10–1 map, in light of the shellacking we just put on the Republicans in Virginia. Abigail Spanberger won by 15 points. We went from a 51–49 majority in the House of Delegates to a 64–36 majority.

So you gonna drop your lawsuit against us right, Pam?
Federal courts have no right to interfere with a State’s decision to redraw legislative maps for partisan reasons. A federal district court ignored that principle two weeks ago, and the Supreme Court correctly stayed that overreaching decision tonight. Congratulations to Texas

I OBJECT!!!
Trump: We’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. I said it this morning. We had a lot of the world’s leaders there. Nobody stood up and objected. Nobody smiled. Nobody rolled their eyes.

Considering the boat would need to be refueled like 7 to 9 times based on its size to get to the United States this makes sense.
New: Alleged traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were not heading toward the US, Adm Bradley told lawmakers yesterday, per people briefed. Instead they were heading to link up with another vessel that was bound for Suriname.

Under Trump, the United States of America is now in the business of disappearing people—and the Trump regime doesn’t seem to care who.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else. It’s more contagious than HIV. The other problem with hepatitis B is that in adults, at least half

Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply. Prices are going up because
