Nothing like watching Cheeto-lini and his lackeys spouting racist comments about Somalis here while simultaneously larping like Somali pirates on an oil freighters off of the Venezuelan coast
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China.
His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority."

Immigration officers detained the two people while they were reportedly at their jobs as Door Dash delivery workers, picking up grocery orders. The arrests come just weeks after ICE officers detained at least six people in the Seaside area.

This review happens during the period when Ghislaine delayed her appeal to SCOTUS.
Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.
Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Pretty cool way to launder money to seditionist militias right out in the open tho
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
