So Barron Trump isn’t the innocent young man as his mother portrays him…He & Don Jr. helped the Tate bros get to FL in February. Barron has zoomed w/ Andrew, & they both agreed the Romanian govt’s charges against the Tate brothers were just to silence them & w/ Jr., is trying to get them freed. NYT

Project 2026 is out. All republican candidates were given the instructions to follow it.

What a news day, once again. I don’t know how you all could take it every day. I keep trying to think of something original to say, but I’m out of steam. Our govt is upsetting (mild word). There’s a little hope for the 2026 mids, but that’s not going to fix the Trump & Project 2025 damage overall.

Did you see the newly released Trump’s National Security Strategy for 2025? It’s frightening. Supports Russia but not Europe. Changes to the Monroe Document.

So Trump is issuing a full & complete pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted drug trafficker sentenced to 45 years in prison, but allows Hegseth to blow up Venezuelan boats, accusing them of trafficking drugs to the US.
How does this hypocritical stance make sense?

Many of us are rooting for those in the Trump administration to be fired. But they will just be replaced by loyalists who are better at PR. Patel may be the first one, and his replacement may be more experienced, but still a Trump loyalist who can cover up better.

Trump keeps saying Zelinskyy has not thanked the US enough for that Russian-written 28 point peace plan. There we go with not thanking enough theme. But Zelinskyy did express gratitude yet again in his recent post about it:

Worth watching the moving documentary “Come See Me in the Good Light”— a film about Andrea Gibson and their partner Megan Falley as they navigate Andrea‘s ovarian cancer diagnosis, transforming pain into purpose. I saw Andrea Gibson in a poetry slam years ago, and I was a fan ever since.

MTG could dish it out, but couldn’t take it.
By resigning, she gets a full pension and also she made a ton of money in stock trades.
I doubt this is the last we’ll see of her. She will get a cushy conservative job where she can get paid to spew her views.

Trump is co-opting the Democrats “affordability“ message. Consumers knew Trump was lying about prices. So he’s cutting tariffs bc he’s panicked about the midterms. He knows tariffs are a sales tax. But he will go right back to big tariffs as soon as the midterms are over.

People on social media are speculating as to what the Trump administration’s major distractions will be in light of these released Epstein emails. Do you think they really start a war with Venezuela? What are the other possibilities? He can’t get away from this by lying or calling at a hoax.

Turns out that earlier today, Boebert and Mace both said they would not remove their signatures. So what’s really true?
It may be DOA in the Senate anyway, but we need that vote to show who is against releasing those files.

This is concerning, but they are right to do so. The UK has stopped sharing some intelligence with the US “because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes [in the Caribbean] and believes the attacks are illegal.”

Newsom’s answer is really chilling but realistic…
Newsom: Just a few hours ago, Trump posted on Truth Social saying he’s looking into criminal investigations because he’s already alleging that this election is rigged. He knows he’s going to lose. This is the Election Rigging Response Act because he also knows he’s going to lose the 2026 midterms.

Take time to vote today! A lot is riding on the line… This election is so important for what might happen in the midterms. And the local elections are important to let your voice be heard on proposals, amendments, and city council members, as that will foretell the future of your local government.
