Ex-Project 2025 chief Paul Dans says that, despite the Trump campaign's one-time efforts to distance itself from the Heritage Foundation's plans, Project 2025 has come to pass. "There really is almost no difference between Project 2025 and what Trump was planning." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Real talk: The entire payroll of the federal government is ~$110 billion. DOGE can't save as much as Elon has taken.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Musk is straight up admitting to violating the law here. DOGE has no authority to do any of this.

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this: Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent? Patel: That was taken out of context.

Chris has it exactly right: a. Cannon has no jurisdiction because of the appeal of the dismissal. She has no power to do jack shit in this case now. b. She’s got no business addressing the 1/6 report not only because of (a) but because that’s totally separate from the case she dismissed. (1/2)

We also have a HUGE national shortage of construction workers, agricultural workers and food processors, landscapers, and hospitality workers. But he wants all of them all deported as not useful, while justifying migrants in his industries.
