A difficult decision, but I, too, have decided to pretend to stop enriching uranium in exchange for $300 billion

It means you live in an aurhoritarian political climate with a mob boss style leader.
When people in Washington lower their voices and say, โ€œPlease donโ€™t use my name. Iโ€™m afraid heโ€™ll come after my familyโ€™s livelihood,โ€ it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

Yes...locked me up for 12 hours to 'question' me as I investigated Haut de la Garenne children's home abuse scandal & deaths. Left me in a stained, windowless basement without food or water while they went on on a fishing expedition in my luggage, while screaming & threatening me

The Channel Islands and increasingly the mainland use oppressive measures to shut down legitimate journalism & scrutiny.

Trump/Iran: That old trick of breaking something -- fixing it -- then making such a meal out of playing the hero for fixing the thing you broke that everyone is grateful. Such genius

Note earlier this week Jay Clayton attempted to spread election & voter fraud conspiracy theories via @CNBC @SquawkCNBC with absolutely zero evidence given. Not hard to envision where this is going come the midterms.
BREAKING: Trump says he will nominate Jay Clayton, the Manhattan U.S attorney, to be the next director of national intelligence. The nomination comes after an uproar on Capitol Hill over Bill Pulte serving in the role in an acting capacity. politico.com/news/2026/06/11โ€ฆ

Explanation needed from @SquawkCNBC about why it featured Jay Clayton (U.S. Attorney for Southern District of NY & ex-SEC Chair) randomly spouting voter fraud conspiracy theories today with ZERO evidence. Speculation is not news, @CNBC @SDNYnews Do the work, get the facts, jeez

Zorro Ranch has been one of the most disturbing aspects of the Epstein scandal from the start, as it's clear it was never really looked at properly and the interference came via Trump's DOJ.
Strategist baffled as Epstein scandal takes disturbing new turn: New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas was told to "stand down" from investigating disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. rawstory.com/trump-epstein-2โ€ฆ

The only one good thing about Twitter X getting Elon-ified is that it's now become such an unserious place that excellent levity is the refuge

Considering America had a violent insurrection over similarly reckless election rhetoric, it's stunning to see a news organization like @CNBC and @SquawkCNBC beclowning itself in this way ... All the journalists on this program know better than this.

When entrusted power is used for private enrichment, especially in a public position like the presidency, that is the very definition of corruption.
Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to President Trumpโ€™s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report. Read more here: wapo.st/4o9GMHL

Kinda settles the false narrative circulating that Americans are paying more for everything 'because they have the money'...clearly they do not
401(k) hardship withdrawals are rare, but they spike when Americansโ€™ saving and income donโ€™t cover their expenses. ย  Since 2020, Vanguard data shows they have more than tripled. ย  My @Morning_Joe Chart.
