Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

President Trump, President of Egypt el-Sisi, President of Turkey Erdogan and Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim signed the document on the ceasefire deal. No other details were provided. "It's going to hold up," President Trump said.

“You cannot understand [Israeli opinion on the war] without understanding the kind of blindness that the Israeli media promotes.”

"There is, however, one big difference between Trump’s trade policy and China’s. Namely, the Chinese appear to know what they’re doing."

I posted about this on X, and Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS spokesperson, QTed me to say the kid was actually a hardened criminal arrested with a knife and a gun. So far she has provided no evidence of this. I share this to give DHS's response, and for the possibility she is telling the truth.

Putin better call Donnie to explain the realities of alliances and the dire consequences of listening to RW Israeli and Americans or it's going to get messy... really really messy... given Russia's alliance with Iran.

Below is an excerpt from a 2020 Vanity Fair article about Stephen and Katie Miller's wedding. It is absolutely delicious in light of the recent change in their marital situation

Q: What's the opposite of a meritocracy? A: The Trump administration

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Doctors, who rely on a contraception team's guidance at the CDC, will no longer have access to the team's updated critical research. My latest discusses the shocking and deadly impact of leaving doctors and women without any new, credible data. shero.substack.com/p/cdc-cuts-o...

NEW: @cnn.com confirms that hundreds of FBI agents have been reassigned away from criminal and counterterrorism investigations to instead work with ICE to round up migrants. The security impacts are clear — and may be why the FBI is alleged to be hiding any paper trail.

Oleksandr was in Russian captivity since 2022. He hasn't seen his wife since their wedding day. Their four-year-old son is waiting for him at home. 📹: Channel 24

“MAHA” is a cringey rebrand effort and a superficial one at that. The actual policies being pushed are directly counter to the stated intent of their 70 page report. Save yourself the read. Also 70 pages to tell us what we already know…let’s save the trees too. @msnbc.com

This picture is one that's going to stick with me. I want future generations to see this in history books. The unshakable courage and resolve. The manager's smirk in the face of that resolve. This isn't a joke to us. This is real. This is what standing up and fighting back looks like.

❗️🇩🇪German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is actively supporting the 🇪🇺European Union's proposed ban on the Nord Stream gas pipeline to stop any efforts by the US and Russia to restore gas connections, the Financial Times reports.

Fantastic work 👇🏻 “You can see how a database of people who have served convictions in county jails, fed by people asking for SCAAP money, becomes one of the sources of information for the deportation machine.”

Kristi Noem's leadership of DHS has been nothing short of disastrous. But while she seeks to turn the Department into a reality TV show – real people are hurting. Today, I want to talk about it. youtu.be/nvyuVK3bN4k?...

Rachel Cohen on resigning from Skadden: I would say to people: We’re going to end up staffed on financings to help prison corporations expand the Guantánamo Bay camp. Every single person I said that to responded, “Oh, don’t say that.” Not one person said, “No, we won’t.” A few even said, “Yes.”

The Biggest Losers in Trump’s Megabill: “recipients of food aid” “Medicaid users” “college borrowers” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

We ran through the most disturbing and frustrating 48 hours I’ve had as a member of Congress, voting on this terrible bill that cuts healthcare for millions. 7 things you need to know about the bill:

The $150 billion to DHS, which includes over $71 billion for ICE, will transform the agency into something new in U.S. history; the tendrils of federal law enforcement extending into every community in the country on a daily basis, simultaneously more visible and less accountable than ever.

“.. ‘We’re looking at it,’ Remolona said .. ‘It’s one thing when other countries’ debt is downgraded, but the US Treasuries, now that’s a big thing.’” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

VITAL KNOWLEDGE: ".. We’ve been here before – Trump has never followed through on his most bombastic tariff threats .. no reason to think he’s about to change now.. The absurdity of the threat undermines its credibility." Still, "an economy can’t have a loaded gun pointed at its head for months .."

The war on working people never ends. They pay us poverty wages and limit our hours so they don’t have to provide health insurance. Then they buy politicians who will take away the only insurance available to us so they can get more tax breaks. The only way to fix this is to ORGANIZE.

FOX: Are you comfortable working alongside Ilhan Omar? REP. RANDY FINE: I stay as far away from her as I can. Frankly, she endorses and supports Muslim terror. I think what happened a couple nights ago for her is probably considered a good thing, not a bad one.

B of A DESK: “.. the market has collectively learned to view angry tweets with more nuance, and calm, than we did in March/April. It appears the President gets hurt/upset ..” 🤡

🪡 Rules & regulations (administrative laws) are the middle child of laws; quiet & adaptable until they refuse to be ignored. Statutory law (created by legislatures) & case/common law (created by judicial precedent/decision) take up a lot of airtime but regs pack a punch. Infographic via GAO.

SB 153 and HB 233 are bad twin bills in the Ohio Statehouse that would be very bad for voters, elections, and election officials. Help us stop these very bad bills: email Ohio lawmakers here and call their offices to tell them to oppose these bills: lwvohio.salsalabs.org/protectohiosdirectdemocracy

The Trump administration filed a motion to end the decades-old legal ruling that established basic standards for the treatment and release of migrant children. “The fact that the government refuses to be held accountable to even these most basic standards to keep children safe speaks volumes.”

The White House budget office rejected the conclusion of a nonpartisan congressional watchdog that said the Trump administration is breaking the law by not spending funds as directed by Congress.
