Trump is likely making billions from his crypto exchange, millions from his souvenir "meme" coins ... yet he feels the need to cash in on the UFC fight he is hosting for his birthday, too, with a stock purchase of $15-50,000? Double-fisted grifting. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — All that highly enriched uranium that Iran possesses and which Trump claims is the reason for this war? It exists for one reason: Donald Trump, who tore up Obama’s nuclear agreement. Iran was honoring it. Trump didn’t care. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Did any mental health professionals make any observations of our president today, maybe try to understand why he's been even more incomprehensible and bizarre of late? Even if they did, good luck trying to find out. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW: Trump to Xi: Oh, you're the best, I love you so much! Xi to Trump: Stop meddling with Taiwan or there will be trouble. And so it goes as Trump avoids inflation at home and the mess he's made of the Strait of Hormuz. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump, right this moment, is promoting his private, for-profit business, which has partnered with the failing LIV Golf league. And he is doing it on your dime. Again. Total tab for travel and security so he can make more money: $18 million. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Just 14 months ago, Trump scolded Zelenskyy for getting invaded and told him he had "no cards." Today, Ukraine hits deep into Russia, cuts defense deals with Europe, sells interceptors to Gulf States, scares Putin... Maybe he has cards after all. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

NEW -- Obeying Trump and giving him an even-more-gerrymandered map is a no-brainer for a potential Republican presidential aspirant. If you're okay with openly flouting a constitutional amendment passed by 63 percent of Florida voters, which DeSantis is. www.huffpost.com/entry/desant...

NEW -- Ron DeSantis aggressively gerrymandered the state map for openly partisan gain for Republicans, flouting the state constitution's ban. It was just begging for a legal challenge. Today he got one. www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-de...

NEW — The Florida constitution specifically bans partisan gerrymandered maps. But that’s what Donald Trump demanded, so that’s what Florida Republican legislators delivered. www.huffpost.com/entry/florid...

What does Ron DeSantis do? Draws up an overwhelmingly-red-with-tiny-blue-spots congressional map. And hands it to Fox News, even before state lawmakers. www.huffpost.com/entry/desant...

NEW -- Trump just now yet again called on Republicans to redraw Florida's map to produce more GOP seats -- which is absolutely forbidden under the state constitution. In fact, each time he or an ally repeats it, it helps opponents build their legal case. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump extended his ceasefire, apparently indefinitely. More important: The deadline originally was today at 632 pm. Yesterday he extended it to Wednesday without explanation. Can he not read a calendar? Or was it the 7+14 part that threw him? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Eight weeks into a "four to five" week war, Trump seems headed toward a deal that could look a lot like the one he has spent 11 years vilifying. He also appears to be having difficulty keeping tabs on the actual goings on in his own war. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Florida Republicans are more than a bit nervous that Ron DeSantis' plan to squeeze some more GOP House seats out of the state could end up backfiring, given the political climate. Sadly for them, DeSantis doesn't care what they think. www.huffpost.com/entry/desant...

STILL NEW -- Was your tax refund only a couple of hundred dollars more than last year's and you're wondering what all this talk of "thousands" more in refund checks is about? Don't worry. You're not alone. Trump is lying. Only select groups got big $$$. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump went to Las Vegas. You'll never guess what he did there! (Actually, I'm confident you will.) www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The vast majority of Americans got a tax cut of just a few hundred dollars -- way less than the $1,000 per household tax increase they paid via tariffs last year. Only those in targeted groups got cuts worth "thousands." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump followed Orban's autocrat playbook closely since returning to office last year, from attacking the judiciary and universities and the news media to the corruption and the Christian nationalism. Will he learn something from Orban's drubbing? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump wants his autocratic, corrupt Hungarian role model to stay in power so badly he's endorsed him repeatedly and last week even sent Vance to campaign for him. Friday, he even offered Hungarian voters lots of foreign aid -- IF they re-elect him. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Iran's repressive theocracy is still in charge. They're making much more money selling their oil. They're even charging a toll for ships transiting Hormuz, which they were not before. So ... what did America win again? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — If the level of destruction in the Persian Gulf and gas prices here at home aren’t high enough for you yet, just give it a few days. Trump has promised to commit major crimes against Iran unless they meet his demands. Which he will not articulate. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- As of right now, there is still a downed Air Force crew member in Iran. Maybe now people can understand why it's better to avoid saying idiotic war crimey things like "no quarter" and bomb them "to the stone ages?" www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Apparently Pam Bondi wasn't turning the DOJ into Donald Trump's personal attack dog law firm fast enough. Her immediate replacement is also his personal criminal defense lawyer, so look for a picked-up pace on weaponized prosecutions. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — Actually there was nothing “new” in this speech, least of all a plan to end his war without Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Oh, but he did re-up his threat to do war crimes. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Remember Colin Powell's "You break it, you own it" rule about invading Iraq? Donald Trump has replaced that with a "I broke it, you fix it" motto for Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Destroying Iran's electricity infratrastructure. Its drinking water plants. Confiscating its oil. All are war crimes. All are things Trump is threatening to do, yet again. Just another day that ends in "y." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

What the WH said Trump would be doing this morning vs What he is actually doing www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Is DOGE still around? Because Donald Trump's golf hobby has now cost us $101.2 million in just 14 months back in office. That's correct. US soldiers are suffering brain injuries in the Middle East, gas prices are spiking, all while Trump golfs. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- NATO needs to help open the Strait of Hormuz, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t. The war is already “won,” but thousands of troops are on the way there. If there's a peace deal soon, great, but if there isn’t, that’s great, too. Alrighty then. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The surprise winners in Florida's special elections got thousands of more votes than there were Democrats who cast ballots. Meaning they pulled from independents and even Republicans. Democrats everywhere are taking note. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

NEW -- Trump's war against Iran is going on four weeks now, inflation is heading back up, gas prices are up more than a dollar a gallon and suddenly two guys who might both want to run for the White House in 2028 are nowhere to be seen. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump tweeted his endorsement for the Republican running for the statehouse seat representing his Mar-a-Lago home IN ALL CAPITALS yesterday. Dems won it today anyway. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Hours after barring news media from witnessing the return of six service members killed in Trump’s Iran war, his White House posted images from the service on social media, including several showing the transfer case of at least one of the bodies. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump has insulted and berated our NATO allies for years, proclaimed repeatedly that one of them should be the 51st state, talked about attacking another to seize its territory, and suddenly they don't want to help him out of his mess. Weird, right? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- There are thousands of Republicans who live in the Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago. Trump picked one who does not , and who changed his voter registration to a cheap motel a half hour from his home to be able to vote for himself. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- This kind of slipped under the radar this morning, but our secretary of defense casually threatened Iranians with "no quarter." Those words mean a specific thing, and that thing is a war crime. www.huffpost.com/entry/hegset...

NEW -- In a particularly unhinged performance, the defense secretary and former Fox News weekend host says he doesn't "worry" about the Strait of Hormuz, that it is "open" except for all the shooting by Iran, and that David Ellison should take over CNN. www.huffpost.com/entry/hegset...

NEW -- Remember Joe Isuzu? The ridiculous pathological liar in the commercials? Would we have ever put him in charge of the military and let him start wars whenever he wanted? Well, we pretty much did. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump could declare victory and bring our aircraft carriers home tomorrow or next week. But the chaos and high oil prices he's caused with his war on Iran? Those consequences will be with us for much, much longer. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The Geneva Conventions state clearly that after a naval battle, all parties are supposed to take "all possible measures" to rescue survivors from the water. Our sub that sank that Iranian frigate Wednesday took no possible measures. www.huffpost.com/entry/submar...

NEW -- Remember in Trump's war video where he warned about the chaos that attacking Iran would unleash, the tanking stock market, the spiking gas prices, the tens of thousands of Americans stranded overseas... Oh, he forgot to mention that part? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Why is Trump attacking Iran? It's their nuclear program, which needs to be re-obliterated after getting obliterated just 8 months ago. It's to free Iranians. It's to replace their autocrat with a different autocrat. Call it a work in progress. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump promised as he was campaigning that he would cut your energy costs *in half* in his first year BUT YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Last night Donald Trump announced a $1,000 match for lower-income workers' retirement accounts. He forgot to mention that it was created under a proposal signed into law by Joe Biden. It is already going into effect in January. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- The most important piece of the Supreme Court ruling was not about tariffs. It was about Trump's made-up "emergencies" that democracy advocates worry he will use to rule as an autocrat. Six of nine justices stood up to him. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Donald Trump has put our country on the brink of war with Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program. Yes, the same nuclear weapons program that he claimed he "completely and totally obliterated" eight months ago. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Four years ago Trump praised Russia's dictator as a "genius" and "savvy" for invading Ukraine. Today Putin can't replace the 35,000 troops he's losing each month, is instead doing nightly war crimes against civilians. Trump is still on his side. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW -- Trump and Stephen Miller love to demonize immigrants, especially illegal ones. They are super violent, they claim. They are sucking taxpayers dry. The truth is the exact opposite. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW — AG Pam Bondi, under oath, repeatedly told Congress that Ghislaine Maxwell had been not been transferred to a lower level prison. False. She was sent to a Club Fed days after meeting with Bondi’s deputy. I assume she will be indicting herself. www.huffpost.com/entry/bondi-...

NEW -- The White House is claiming that a newly unconcovered FBI document showing a 2006 phone call from Trump ratting out Epstein to the Palm Beach police vindicates him. No, it absolutely does not. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
