I just woke up to the best news: I was named to Forbes 30 under 30 on their list of media professionals!

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me get here. It is only possible because of you.

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

"It would be difficult to look them in the eye given what this President has done."

@PeteButtigieg tells me that it would be difficult to even speak to his former Ukrainian counterparts given Trump's embrace of Russia.

“So Much Worse Than People Realize”: Never-Before-Seen Images Reveal Damage at U.S. Bases as Troops Describe Being Abandoned
"Service members, contractors, and military families share photos, videos, and firsthand accounts of the Iran war that they say the Pentagon has kept from the American public"

By Aaron Parnas and Ken Harbaugh, Meidas News - Meidas Touch Network with Valor Media Network, Oct 22, 2026

Bases were damaged in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, UAE, Iraq and Oman. The US military was not only unable to defend the countries hosting the bases. It was unable to defend the bases. The bases served mainly to attract Iranian fire responding to U.S. and Israeli aggression against Iran.

This Forbes investigation is a must-read.

Donald Trump pulled in roughly $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025, plus more than $200 million from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500 million. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825 million.

He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general alleged two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a deduction of up to $323 million, more than double what he paid for the entire resort.

A month after the Jupiter deal, he sued the IRS. The settlement his own Justice Department signed bars claims against him over matters that "could be pending," language that appears broad enough to cover this year's taxes. A federal judge found the case was brought to manipulate the judicial process. And the man now running the IRS, who took the job as this deal was being assembled, has a home backing onto those same Jupiter fairways.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be able to use the presidency to write his own tax bill.

.@JBPritzker has been helping campaigns across the country. These are the races he is most excited about!

The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are.
