Rubio and Lavrov were supposed to meet this week to prep for a Trump–Putin summit. CNN says the meeting is delayed “for the time being”

That puts Trump’s Budapest plans in doubt.

Jesse Watters mocks No Kings marchers as clueless lemmings high on Trump derangement, even as he confesses his own mom joined the 5-million-strong anti-authority swarm. Priceless filial revolt. #FoxNews

Me and my partner's "Bronze" health insurance plan with Florida Blue is increasing from $511.22 a month to $1,711.75 a month next year. Not quite sure how to fit "$20,541 a year in health insurance premiums" into the budget.

This is the best summary I’ve read- “It couldn't be more symbolic today: Trump is having parts of the White House torn down (to make way for a ballroom)”.

Symbolischer wirds heute nicht mehr: Trump lässt (für einen Ballsaal) Teile des Weissen Hauses einreissen.

I saved some of the federal government accounts here for that purpose. You can’t praise God with one hand and kill people with the other.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Exceptionally clear in-depth coverage on the Portland Nat Guard decision by the 9th circuit from @maxbernstein.bsky.social. National press is extremely muddled on this one.

Maxine Bernstein @maxbernstein.bsky.social · 18h

In dissent, 9th Circuit Senior Judge Susan P. Graber wrote that the majority's ruling will not have "any immediate practical effect," because the federal government remains barred from deploying any National Guard under OR District Judge Karin J. Immergut's 2nd broader order that wasn't challenged.
