Holy shit, Senator Gallego BUSTED Fed Chair Kevin Warsh in a straight up LIE under oath: Warsh insists that trump did not ask him to commit to lowering interest rates, a denial that trump publicly contradicted. "Who's lying here, is it you, or is it the President?"

Fuck you @SenSanders! @HillaryClinton was right about you. I clocked from the moment you ran under the Democratic Party as an independent because you’re too fucking lazy to do anything but just full of shit. So fucking hypocritical. Latinos will not forget 🧲May karma be swift

This morning, we are launching a seven figure ad campaign against @RoKhanna. Today is the beginning of the end for @RoKhanna. We are highlighting Ro's hypocrisy around $600,000,000 of trades since being elected to Congress. You'll find it on Hulu, YouTube, Instagram, and eventually linear. If you live in the district, you'll also be getting a mailer about the contrast of our policies. We're in this to win it.

Hey CA-17! Do the rest of us a favor and boot Khanna out of Congress and vote for Agarwal!

Every motherfucking word. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

he tried to sneak his wife antibiotics so she wouldn't get the STD he'd contracted.

Senate Judiciary Republicans brought in a fringe attorney recommended for disbarment… as a witness. Ridiculous.

Trump is a draft dodger who mocks soldiers who fought, bragging that cruising New York City for sex and avoiding STDs was his own Vietnam.

Keith Sonderling is now Acting Secretary of Labor. During a hearing last year, he was unable to answer my basic question on collective bargaining. This Administration keeps putting unqualified leadership in charge of workers’ rights. Our men and women in labor deserve better.

THIS VIRGINIA VOTER NAILS IT 💥 #VoteYesVirginiaToday “Unfortunately, we’ve been pushed into the position where two wrongs will make a right, and as Democrats, we simply can’t come to a boxing match when the person brings a knife. We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”

I’ve warned Democrats for months about Hasan Piker’s efforts to insert himself into our party. Read my op-ed in The Washington Post about why the normalization of Piker within the Democratic Party is a mistake Democrats cannot afford to make. wapo.st/4cyGZyT

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Another day, another behind the scenes maneuver from Chairman Comer. No news on when Pam Bondi will comply with the law and answer questions. Epstein survivors deserve answers only she can provide. Testify — or face contempt.
