OUR HERO OF THE DAY IS: 56-year-old James Rickher or Portland. This week he filed a lawsuit to block the US Mint from producing coins with Donald Trump's image on them. “The Treasury and the Mint are completely subverting a written law for the self-aggrandizement of Donald Trump, and honestly, it bugged me that this was going to happen.” Your Thoughts?

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine

"God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die" 16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. 3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank. Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls. When asked where his bravery came from, he replied "God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die." Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under. Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl. Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own. He truly is a hero. 🎖

Jim Acosta: Here is the breaking news. The news is broken. We may not be able to put the pieces back together again if the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger goes through and puts my former employer, CNN, under the control of the Ellison family. Trump has cracked the code on how to hurt the press in America. The news does not belong to the oligarchs. It belongs to us.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

President Trump spent five minutes of his Cabinet meeting boasting of his thrift with a story about negotiating for $5 personalized Sharpies. The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened. wapo.st/4bLTOWd

🚨BREAKING: Trump suffers a shocking moment of cognitive decline and confuses the word “island” with “Ireland.” TRUMP: "They shot the now-famous Ireland - the island that the UK was very afraid to give us." He means Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean. His decline is worsening.

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

Good morning!

Massive reality check. Tech oligarchs did not suddenly become conservative. Biden tried to regulate Amazon and Meta so they simply switched sides and bought Trump instead. It is not about ideology it is about raw capitalist control over the government.

President Trump cast a mail ballot in an upcoming Florida special election, according to Palm Beach County records, as he publicly condemns the voting method as fraudulent. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

There will be no effective way to convince future generations that this cultish veneration of a morally decrepit carcass of soulless humanity actually took place. I’m living through it, and I still can’t believe this is real life.

In 40 minutes, Donald said: the Strait of Hormuz isn't closed, but he wants it reopened; we’re not at war with Iran, but our allies are cowards for not helping; he wants a ceasefire, but he doesn’t want one. He also declared victory three times. Such clarity. Such leadership.

Americans need to know which officials traded stocks before Trump posted about Iran last night.

If you’re writing the laws, you shouldn’t be playing the market. This is basic stuff. I have a bill that finally bans members of Congress from trading stocks. No loopholes. No exceptions.

🚨BREAKING: Kentucky family rejects a $26 million offer to turn their farmland into a data center, roughly 10x the area’s going rate. “If it’s my way, I’ll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn’t mean anything.”

If we had an independent oversight agency--like say a Securities and Exchnage Commission--I'd bet they'd look into this!
