When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.

White House border czar Tom Homan was investigated by federal law enforcement last year and was caught on camera accepting $50,000 in cash from agents who were posing as business executives seeking government contracts. Trump administration officials now decry the probe as âpolitically motivated.â

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations â from television networks to newspapers â are capitulating to these threats.

The issue isnât that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."
