“It’s not like Marc Andreessen and David Sacks and Elon and JD and Trump are all sitting at the dinner table at Mar-a-Lago planning DOGE and in a lightbulb moment, they were like, ‘Let’s just instantiate the ideas of Curtis Yarvin,’” one person added. “It’s more like, Yarvin is the brain.”

SCOOP: President Donald Trump plans to announce details of a major trade agreement with the United Kingdom Thursday morning

NEWS: @aoc.bsky.social won’t seek top Oversight Committee post, @nicholaswu12.bsky.social reports. ”It’s actually clear to me that the underlying dynamics in the caucus have not shifted with respect to seniority as much as I think would be necessary.” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

"The vehicle, which Francis used during a 2014 visit to the West Bank, will be turned into a health clinic on wheels designed to treat Palestinian children."

I am going to become the Joker.

“Trump’s new-ish material is darker,” says @zackstanton.bsky.social. “It’s not simply the Bukele video, which is so dark it’s practically Vantablack ...”

"In his first administration, he fired James Comey in the second hundred days and then had the Charlottesville 'very fine people' debacle just after Day 200. Who knows what's in store this time around?" says @zackstanton.bsky.social.

Tonight, President Trump will mark his 100th day in office with a big rally in Warren, Michigan. Why has Warren (and Macomb County) become ground zero for so much of American politics the last 50+ years? Here's the hidden history behind that:

A few months ago, Pierre Poilievre appeared poised to become the next Canadian prime minister. Just before 5 a.m. this morning, CBC News declared that he has lost his own bid for reelection.

Canadian PM Mark Carney, a former central banker, might seem like an unlikely political figure. But elements of his unusual background now seem quietly relevant. My latest column, for some Canadian Election Day reading: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

“You know at some point, they give up,” Trump said, referring to media owners generally and — we suspected — Jeff Bezos specifically. “At some point they say, No más, no más.” He laughed quietly. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

“Preserving habeas corpus is not some fever dream of the left wing echo chamber,” said Pritzker. “It’s a fundamental concept of justice that people have fought and died for dating back to the Middle Ages.”

"One of the big projects is figuring out how does global security work when the U.S. is not the guarantor of the free world."

Vivid, affecting writing from Gothamist: gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

“Following Trump’s demand that the FCC inflict ‘punishment’ on CBS over a recent 60 Minutes piece on Greenland and Ukraine, Paramount executives, including Redstone, asked the program to provide a list of upcoming Trump-related pieces it was reporting on” www.semafor.com/article/04/2...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Trump and Howard Lutnick have "ice cream sundaes most Friday nights to gossip and replay the week."

"While Musk posts sometimes dozens of times a day on X about right-wing politics or his companies … he often interacts with lesser-known users. He replies to them and sometimes interacts through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies"

From a spox for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: “The governor was surprised that she was brought into the Oval Office during President Trump’s press conference without any notice of the subject matter. Her presence is not an endorsement of the actions taken or statements made at that event.”

🧵 I'm struggling to see exactly how this SCOTUS ruling is a win for the White House. Seems like a wash at best. Per the 9-0 part of the decision, the court has concluded: -The way Trump used the Alien Enemies Act last month, effectively, was improper because of the lack of notice.

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Horrifying, bracing read.

A jarring video released by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele showed alleged gang members being dragged off of planes from the U.S. and into a mega-prison notorious for allegations of human rights abuses. Mercedes Yamarte spotted her son.
