Lutnick just can't get his story straight about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — from back in February, where I first got him to admit he had lied about their connection, to today.
What is he hiding? Why does his story keep changing?
The American people deserve the truth.
Remember: Trump promised to bring DOWN prices 'on day 1.'
He's now sending his top economic advisor out to try and convince the American people that it's a GOOD thing that they are paying more for "everything."
They haven’t got a clue.
This will only further weaken America on the global stage.
[2/2]
Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service.
Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world.
[1/2]
As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity.
As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.
🚨 NEW from the American Medical Association: RFK Jr.'s recommendation for babies to forgo the hepatitis-B vaccine will likely lead to more infections in our kids, increased rates of liver cancer, & death.
RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories are putting lives at risk.
He must go, NOW.
Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin.
Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.
Limiting access to healthcare that has been in use for decades & has been proven safe & effective is an attack on women.
SCOTUS must continue to uphold access to mifepristone & Congress must act to codify Roe & stop these attacks once & for all.
Trump and Republicans are driving up health costs and making it unaffordable to get care. This is just the latest chapter of their years-long effort to kill the Affordable Care Act.
This denial of coverage makes our case for moving to Medicare for All more urgent.

Prediction markets have become a hotbed for corruption in this administration & have even become a national security risk.
This was the right move to ensure Senators and their staff don't enrich themselves with insider information. White House should follow suit!
This is a farce. Trump continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz which is an act of WAR.
This is just another attempt to make an end-run around Congress.
No self-respecting Republican should believe this & if they do they are making even more of a mockery of their duties.
Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP.
75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.
As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy.
If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.
61 days into Trump's illegal war in Iran & gas prices are at a 4 year high, averaging around $4.30 per gallon.
Trump broke his promise to keep us out of war and bring prices down. But we can help do both now by ENDING this war which is making us less safe and worse off.
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump
As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.
Trump's sucking up to Putin & his refusal to support Ukrainians’ efforts to defend their democracy has caused 2 U.S. ambassadors to leave in under 2 years.
Trump & his cronies want to get their hands on Ukraine’s minerals. They don’t give a damn about the freedom of its people.
Justice Kagan put it best: “Under the Court’s new view … a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” This ruling amounts to a, “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.”
A shameful day.
Lady Liberty is crying. Trump is doubling down on his global apartheid policy, refusing entry to real, vetted refugees.
Instead, he is using fake claims of “genocide” to admit white South African "refugees." Since October, they make up 99.93% of refugees admitted to the US.
It's a scary day in America when an actual king behaves more democratically than the President of the United States.
