Bondi touts stock exchange numbers while defending Trump at House hearing

Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed with Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee as they asked questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files and raised the current numbers of the Dow Jones Index and other stock market factors while defending President Trump.

I'm not sure that, "the stock market is doing great and we should be talking about that." is a good answer to, "Why haven't you indicated any of Epstein's clients?". And not just because it's too obvious a derail for even the dimmest of banned members here. But also, given how people are feeling about their own economic prospects, it's reminding his base that Trump is getting some of his people rich, but most aren't seeing it. In fact are being hit with a lot from Trump, and would have been hit worse if Trump had had it all his way.
 
Still, from what I am seeing, Nonce Andrew will be happy to relinquish his crown for most damaging interview performance related to Epstein.

Also, accusing someone of antisemitism probably works better if they hadn't lost a grandfather in the Holocaust.

Not only is it a de-rail, but so what? The market's been hitting new records for a long time now, except for Trump's inept handling of covid, and his initial rollout of the tariffs.

We may all wish reporters or diplomats would say what they really think to Trump, but the price would be a heavy one.

It annoyed him that this woman expressed an opinion, instead of knowing to stay in her place and shut up. And now his peevishness is going to cost her country a load of real money.

ISTR that Trump claimed that a national economic emergency justified his unilateral executive exercise of tariff powers that more properly belong to Congress; is not liking the way a foreign head of state talked to him now an emergency that allows him to jigger the numbers as he sees fit?

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

"50,000 dollars?" For the Dow? That sounds like a bargain. I'll buy one Dow, please. And throw in the S&P as well, if it comes with dipping sauces.
 
El Paso Airspace shutdown was caused by party balloons.

The El Paso airspace closure was news to White House -- Trump had not been made aware it was coming, sources told me. The grounding touched off a scramble among law enforcement agencies to figure out what prompted the security message in the so-called NOTAM. The situation was discussed in a regular meeting in White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' office this morning, and within minutes the FAA lifted the restrictions.
