This time, his admin is all in. He made sure the GOP on Congress are all in.

He can piss off constituents all day long—because he does not expect to have another fair election. Ever.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Starting January 1st, California will mandate that any use of AI-altered real estate photos in listings be disclosed, and that a link to the unaltered image be included.

It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

So … a dollar bill (he respects only 💰), told him to pardon this guy?

“I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,” Trump said Friday.
Trump to pardon ex Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who is serving 45 years in prison for drugs and gun trafficking.
For someone who claims to want to keep our borders safe from drugs, Trump keeps pardoning a lot of drug dealers.

The war could end.

1. The GOP needs to impeach trump, so Putin has no help.

2. NATO needs to vote for Ukraine to join. Does it have to be unanimous?

Could we put women in charge so this can all be sorted out quickly?

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
