Another day, another MAGA Christian conservative pastor convicted of child r*pe. They told you to fear drag queens. They told you to fear immigrants. The predator was in the pulpit. Republican “Family Values”

NEW: Kentucky family rejects $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center despite the offer being about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area. "If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn't mean anything." "As long as I'm on this land, as long as it's feeding me, as long as it's taking care of me, there's nothing that can destroy me if I've got this land." Video: Local 12 WKRC

Bruce Springsteen teamed up with the American Civl Liberties Union for a video to raise awareness for the upcoming Supreme Court birthright citizenship case. Watch: rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Are Trump’s peace talks making any difference on the ground in the war with Iran?

The unsettling reality is that with this president, Americans in wartime are in the unprecedented position of having to suspect that the enemy’s version of events is more likely to be true than our own. We have become Baghdad Bob.

BREAKING: Democrat Brian Nathan will win the Florida State Senate District 14 special election, flipping the seat from red to blue. This is a district Donald Trump carried by 7 points in 2024. It’s also the second Florida seat Democrats have flipped tonight.

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

I have NO idea what these geese are doing but this is the best thing I’ve seen today 🥰

Happy 91st birthday to the legend Carol Kaye! 🎸 Behind almost every 60s hit you love, from the Beach Boys to Ray Charles, her steel fingers were calling the shots. 🤔 Fun fact: To get that iconic dry and punchy bass sound, Carol taped a piece of folded pink felt underneath the strings to mute the vibrations. 🎀 Did you know? 🤯

Happy 91st birthday to Carol Kaye! She is one of the most prolific recorded bass guitarists in rock and pop music, playing on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 65 years.

No shit. The incompetence is just insane.

Trump's disastrous Iran War is four weeks old and the Strait of Hormuz is still CLOSED. This was totally foreseeable and yet Trump had no plan - and still has no plan - to deal with this crisis. Oil companies will do fine with higher prices. But you're getting screwed.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET? Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday. Was it luck, or inside information? Either way... someone just got rich. Four min primer👇

Let me explain educate you all what just happened, 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… Someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes. These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the market at that time. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes, they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are positioned to profit from it. This is not the first time. Major announcements have repeatedly been preceded by suspicious market moves tariff reversals, policy shifts, war decisions. This may be one of the most blatant examples of potential insider advantage in modern American politics. You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. Yet billion-dollar trades happen minutes before decisions like this and no one asks questions.Nobody gets investigated. Nobody gets charged. By tomorrow, this will be buried under the next headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. The insiders pull the strings and win over and over. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

In an era when many young men—including President Trump—were trying to avoid serving in Vietnam, Mueller not only volunteered for the Marines after graduating from Princeton—he spent a year waiting for an injured knee to heal so he could serve. I have always found that be the most compelling fact about him.

Thank you!

Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan…and his entire village of supporters…especially his lovely Mom. #Oscars
