For context, Martin is referring to Scott Jenkins, a Virginia sheriff who was convicted of taking $75,000 in bribes in exchange for badges. And who Trump just pardoned.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

Every interview with Trump, something like this happens where the interviewer just wants to move on. You can't move on. You have to stay with it and press the point. That's when the interview becomes revealing.

David Horowitz has passed away. His memoir "Radical Son" is essential reading for understanding the excesses of the American Left. Unfortunately later in life, he succumbed to the excesses of the American right, effectively trading one flavor of extremism for another.

Gotta wonder if the Trumpian language here is purposeful. It wasn't just a letter, it was a "very strong" letter. They weren't questions, they were "very strong" questions.

Fortunately for the White House, if Republicans in Congress want to drag some nat sec officials in for questioning about Goldberg-gate, they can do it behind closed doors in the Intel Committees and save the administration some embarrassment.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

DOGE feels like someone who's $20,000 in debt selling their refrigerator to get out of debt. You're still in basically the same amount of debt, and now you don't have a refrigerator

Trump just gave the plaintiffs in the appointments-clause lawsuits against DOGE a smoking gun. He bragged about DOGE "which is headed by Elon Musk". Then Elon Musk took a bow. This...complicates...DOJ lawyers' claim that Amy Gleason, not Musk, is heading up DOGE.
