FTC alleges that oil execs used texts and WhatsApp to jack up the price of gasoline

Prosecutors entered into evidence a transcript of a tape of Trump and Cohen discussing paying off Karen McDougal:

Trump’s attorney Alina Habba: “There’s literally nobody tougher or more energetic than President Trump, I can tell you that.”

TIME Reporter: Trump told me he wants to go into a second term and consolidate power into the office of the presidency so that he can remove the guardrails that stood in the way the last time. He would not hire anyone who admits he lost the last election. He wants to fill the…

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene, moments ago, has told the media that next week she will officially be calling for the Motion to Vacate Mike Johnson's speakership, and force the House to vote on whether to table it or not.

Can you imagine a real judge asking a question this dumb (spoiler alert: Alito did ask it):
