Factcheck from DC resident: False I do however know people who work on the Hill and feared for their lives on January 6th.
Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

At a campaign rally on Sunday, President Trump disparaged Norway to express his irritation over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Norwegian government officials have repeatedly said that they do not have influence over who is awarded the Peace Prize. nyti.ms/4zfrGFA

The funny thing is that he's upset that Obama compared his ersatz Disney Versailles to what he thinks is a low end chain restaurant while all the Fox flunkies (and some of the MSM too) are all clutching their pearls over Obama making fun of the Real Americans who love that low end chain restaurant.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

Same play as last week’s complaint against former FBI officials: charge first, figure out whether you can get an indictment from a skeptical DC grand jury later www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Here's that memo that Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence sent to Marco Rubio.👇 Very limited in detail. I'm assuming that "certain other countries" includes the UK and the RAF Fairford airbase where the US had deployed B-1, B-2, and B-52 aircraft. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Pro tip: when you're full of horseshit, don't remind everyone of an infamous moment in the past when you were full of horseshit.
Trump: "Canada is working very hard to make a deal with us, and I hate to say this, but we have all the cards. We have all the cards, just like I told Zelenskyy, we have all the cards."
This is likely just Trump sending Iran threat messaging without getting anything back in return. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

This (ugly) ruling only raises the stakes of the (already massively important) Barbosa da Cunha case #SCOTUS will hear this term. Now, if the justices side with the government on the statutory question presented there, they’ll have to also take up and resolve the due process question presented here.
