LOL! Newsmax's Rob Schmitt tries to rationalize Natalie Harp riding in trunk of an SUV to be with Trump: "If you got one too many, you throw them in back, you sit right there, you're in the conversation, you need a ride, that's how you get there. I've done it many times myself. That's CNN for you."

Assuming this means he'll be the 2028 GOP presidential nominee?
The bipartisan House Ethics Committee said it has found “substantial evidence” that GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards repeatedly made unwanted advances toward two of his female staffers and is recommending that the full House vote to punish him on the floor. https://cnn.it/3TEyiNO

Just to fact-check: Obama administration *did* oversee a overhaul of the pool. It cost $35M, not $100M, and the pool did reopen (uhm, obviously?). Trump also says Obama "took the water from it," one presumes to give away with all those phones. www.factcheck.org/2026/06/trum...

Louisiana Republicans have eliminated a city clerk position in New Orleans days before a Black man was set to take office. “It’s a sad thing to see the state government repeating what happened to Black public officials during Reconstruction,” said Calvin Duncan, who was set to take office Monday.

A 19‑year‑old boy came here seeking a future. Instead, he found a death sentence in an ICE cage. This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy. His blood is on the hands of Donald Trump and every official who enabled or turned a blind eye to the depravity in our detention system.

Eric Trump admits that Indonesian President Subianto was caught on a hot mic talking with his dad about Trump family business deals in Indonesia (so much for the supposed firewall between Trump's business and the federal government ... )

Trump has decided that no jobs report will issue on Friday due to the government shutdown. But it turns out there is a different reason: that report will, when issued, be catastrophically bad.
CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"
