BREAKING: Jen Psaki just hit a MAJOR nerve with a story on Eric Trump’s China trip — and now he’s suing her. As she does most every night on her MS Now program, Jen Psaki did a monologue on a current topic in the news. This time, however, Eric Trump lost his mind over what she had to say . The 42-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization took to X Wednesday night to threaten a lawsuit against Psaki and MS NOW after she reported on his presence alongside his father during the presidential trip to China — and connected it to a Financial Times story about a family-linked company pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker tied to the Communist Party. "I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5," Eric fumed, adding that he has "zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!" He concluded by insisting he joined the trip purely as "a loving son who adores my father." Sweet. But Psaki didn't make up the Financial Times reporting. She cited it. That report describes how ALT5 Sigma — a fintech company connected to Eric and the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial — has a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers. Congress has warned that the Chinese firm in question has connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Eric and his brother were photographed ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the ALT5 name displayed behind them. Neither ALT5 nor the Chinese firm responded to the Financial Times for comment. The deal may or may not be real. But the reporting exists, and it raises exactly the questions Psaki raised. And those questions don't stop there. Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business bragging that one of his companies scored a $24 million Pentagon contract. Don Jr.'s company landed a nearly $5 million Air Force contract. Both brothers are now part-owners of a drone company angling for major Pentagon deals — while their father's administration controls Pentagon spending. All of this is happening while Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit seeks to shield the entire Trump family from financial audits. Forever. Eric wants to sue Psaki for asking whether someone should check the books. That answer tells you everything. Please like and share to spread the news.

Trump bought up to $5 million in NVIDIA stock in February. This week, he flew the NVIDIA CEO to Beijing on Air Force One. On day one of the trip, his administration approved NVIDIA chip sales to 10 Chinese companies. NVIDIA shares climbed. So did the value of his personal stake. The Constitution gives Congress the duty to expose self-dealing like this and hold the executive branch accountable. Every Republican who took the same oath I did should be asking themselves why they are not doing it. notus.org/money/donald-t…

I've been to the Arizona Memorial twice. Once in 1999, once in 2020. It is a scared place of quiet reflection. The fact the FBI Director desecrated it sightseeing is an outrage that proves he has no concept of honor or respect for our fallen. He should resign immediately.

Q: "Do you believe that the FBI can function effectively with Director Patel in charge?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't…The fact that there are so many reports that indicate that his drinking has meant he's been incapacitated many times…I think he needs to go."

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Absolute bullshit. It is not standard to offer a snorkel dive at the Arizona. What is normal, and appropriate, that I have personally attended is an early morning visit to the memorial before it opens to the public and a wreath laying and lei drop into the water. We used to hold our promotion ceremonies there in Hawaii and it was a somber honor to stand amongst heroes to reaffirm your service. A beautiful place to raise your right hand and swear an oath to the Constitution. Patel did nothing honorable at all.

.@FBIDirectorKash is a waste of taxpayer money and also oxygen. Fire him now and relieve the United States of at least one national embarrassment.

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." If it is based on inside information used in violation of his fiduciary responsibilities, it is brazenly criminal conduct, and he would not be immune from prosecution for that criminal conduct even under the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in his favor in the Jan. 6 case.

Colin Jost says he pitched Pete Hegseth mistakenly quoting Pulp Fiction as Bible verse in the SNL writers room—then Hegseth actually did it.

The mascot had no idea that approaching the security guard would become one of the most legendary moments ever.

Pam Bondi is under a legal subpoena to testify before our committee. Meanwhile, Chairman Comer is continuing this White House cover up by allowing Pam Bondi to “testify” in a closed meeting. We won’t accept anything less than real transparency.

Outright lies. Trump's assets aren't in a blind trust, and he bought and sold individual Nvidia stock in 15 separate transactions totaling millions of dollars. That's what Trump's financial disclosure - which has his signature - says. See for yourself: extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden.n…

I read something like this and I think: Some of us have been so focused on their authoritarianism and abuse of power and lawless that we’ve perhaps neglected to point out the additional fact that these are also just terrible humans—lacking class, grace, kindness or dignity.

@cabsav456 The People should vote against anything @StephenM says is right.

The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million. Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone. On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers. When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why. Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.

@RyanDivish @MarinerMuse A couple of years ago there was a circle in LF, too. I think the grass gets worn out. I remember yelling at Chas McCormick that he wasn't allowed to leave his circle.

They have a nickname for it. It has to do with Ichiro. But it's basically where is constantly doing everything from shagging flies to playing catch. That's how much he's out there -- even when M's are on the road. Grass gets worn out so they have to re-sod it a few different times.

Does anyone know what this green square is?

@TridentTrue It's also weird that they play every grunge band EXCEPT Pearl Jam during the breaks.

I’m still having a hard time buying into the Vedder Cup. It feels really forced and lacks juice

The @LibertyMutual dock commercials are the worst thing on television since the #StarWars Christmas special.

VAN HOLLEN: In your response to me earlier, where you had a blowup, you made a couple provably false statements KASH PATEL: So did you VAN HOLLEN: Do you know it's a crime to lie to Congress? PATEL: Maybe the next time you run up a $7,000 bar tab we can talk about it VAN HOLLEN: See. You're lying again. I'm glad you agreed to take the test regarding whether you have alcohol problems. You are a disgrace.

🚨 BREAKING: Epstein survivors just broke down in tears at the hearing. My name, phone number, address, workplace... everything released. I woke up to it mentioned 500+ times. The Trump regime dropped their info while shielding the clients. MAKE THIS GO VIRAL! Demand JUSTICE!

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Miss Rosa, just eviscerated the Trump Administration for releasing her name to the public 500+ times. "I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I Woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times,while the rich and powerful remain protected by redactions. My name was exposed to the world. Now reporters from across the globe contact me. I cannot live without looking over my shoulder. I can only imagine the long-term impact this mistake will have on my life."
