Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.  Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.  The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.  Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company. That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company. Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies. CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

The evolution of American people.

Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time. And the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country." An absolute mic drop. 🎤⬇️

You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert. He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000. Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet. Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor. The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public. Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment. An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him. A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation. What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?

A reminder: Erika Kirk on the death of Charlie: "Even if God gave him the option, I wouldn’t want to bring him back." Thomas Massie on the death of his wife: "I cry every day. I would do anything to see her again." Only one of these is a human reaction. The other is demonic.

@FearedBuck I'll freely admit that I find men attractive, maybe these fans should too. Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder, and there can't be a set template that everyone should conform to. Oh, and the judge wins by a huge margin for me.

Clavicular fans show why the “chad” judge did not mog Clavicular

@CaffeineYellow @MaheenMunir3 @FearedBuck But the measurements of overall face size for The Judge are smaller than Clavicular (I doubt they're accurate) so the proportions don't support that either.

@Cuuuuuurse @FearedBuck There's no need to chadify Judge Mandibular, he's already there.

@FearedBuck He looks like this????? 😭🙏

Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

Who did this?🤣

Is this a real photo? Please tell me it’s a real photo 🤣🤣

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

@dragonauta @MerriamWebster Give them a sash, and see if they sashay.

@MerriamWebster it's hilarious when IT professionals mix them up: "the DB's 'cash-ay' is full' 😂

A 'cache' is a group of things that are hidden, and is pronounced like "cash." 'Cachet' can mean "prestige," "medicine to be swallowed," or "an official seal," and is pronounced "cash-ay."

@berniemoreno How about investigating this? x.com/i/status/12247…

Fauci did irreparable damage to America - destroying millions of lives, stripping kids of their childhood, shuttering businesses, & costing us trillions. It’s time for accountability. He should be prosecuted and perp walked in handcuffs in front of the world.

In May 1860, she kissed her six children goodbye. She thought about the dinner she would cook later. She thought about the laundry. She thought about the quiet life of a mother in Illinois. She had no idea that when the front door clicked shut, it would stay locked for three long years. Her husband, Theophilus Packard, was a respected minister. To the neighbors, he was a man of God. But inside their home, he was a man who could not stand a wife who thought for herself. Elizabeth Packard liked to read. She liked to debate religion. She had her own opinions about life and faith. In the 19th century, for a woman to have a brain was considered a danger. Theophilus decided to end the argument once and for all. He didn’t need a crime. He didn't need a witness. In those days, the law in Illinois said a man could commit his wife to an insane asylum without any evidence or a public hearing. He simply had to say she was "disturbed." One morning, a group of men arrived at her home. They didn't listen to her logic. They didn't care about her tears. They dragged her away to the Jacksonville Insane Asylum. Elizabeth was 43 years old, perfectly sane, and suddenly a prisoner. When she entered the asylum, she expected to see people who needed medical help. Instead, she found a warehouse of "inconvenient" women. There were wives who had argued with their husbands about money. There were daughters who refused to marry men they didn't love. There were women who were simply too loud or too independent. "This is not a hospital," Elizabeth realized. "It is a cage for the unwanted." The doctors tried to break her spirit. They told her that if she just admitted her husband was right and she was wrong, she could go home. They wanted her to say she was crazy for wanting her own thoughts. Elizabeth looked them in the eye and said, "I cannot buy my liberty by a lie." She didn’t give up. Instead, she started to write. She hid scraps of paper in the linings of her clothes. She tucked notes under floorboards. She recorded every abuse, every scream in the night, and every story of the women around her. She became a secret journalist inside a living nightmare. After three years, she was finally released, but her husband locked her in a room at home. He planned to move her to another asylum in a different state. This time, Elizabeth’s friends helped her get a message to a judge. A trial was finally ordered to determine if she was actually insane. The courtroom was packed. Theophilus was confident. He brought "experts" to say that her religious doubts proved her mind was broken. But then, Elizabeth stood up. She didn't shout. She spoke with the calm power of the truth. She explained her beliefs. She showed the jury that having a different opinion is not a disease. The jury only needed seven minutes. They came back with a single word: Sane. Elizabeth walked out as a free woman, but she found that her husband had taken everything. He had sold their furniture, taken her money, and disappeared with their children. She was alone and penniless. Most people would have disappeared into the shadows. Elizabeth did the opposite. She spent the next forty years traveling the country. She stood before the legislature and demanded new laws. She said, "A woman's mind is her own, and the law must protect it." Because of her, states changed their laws. They made it illegal to lock a person away without a fair trial and a medical exam. She turned her private pain into a public shield for thousands of other women. She proved that even if you take away a woman’s home, her money, and her children, you can never truly take away her voice.

BREAKING: President Xi stuns the room saying to Trump: “We should be partners, not rivals" 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 I NEVER in a million years would have thought Xi would say something like that The Deep State is shaking right now

Donald Trump, who has become almost $4B richer since taking office, said he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations.” But Kamala’s laugh…

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."
