DOOCY: How long until we see your signature next to President Trump's face on a $250 bill? BESSENT: Right now there is legislation before Congress to allow a living person -- Donald J Trump -- could be on a $250 bill. So it's all in the hands of Capitol Hill. We have prepared in advance.

Q: There's a lot of people talking about the 'weaponization fund.' What is the process for those funds now? BESSENT: Thank you for the question. This will be the only question I will take on this matter. President Trump is a great American who has endured more than 10 years of nonstop weaponization

Q: The US attacked Iranian drones, and this morning CENTCOM accused Iran of an 'egregious ceasefire violation.' How can the administration still argue that a ceasefire is in effect? BESSENT: We are being patient. But if the president doesn't think he can get a peace deal, then kinetic is back

Q: Gov. Newsom has floated the idea of a 100% state tax on Californians who receive money from Trump's anti-weaponization fund. Your response? BESSENT: There's no cure for stupid. Ok. Thank you all. *leaves*

2016: please clap 2026: you can't boo me, I'm the vice president!!

U.S. automakers appear content with making fewer, low-priced, low-profit cars. But the fact that fewer Americans can afford a new car (that now averages $50,000) — and the average car on the road is now 13 years old — says a ton about the state of America these days. www.wsj.com/business/aut...

Wow! This guy is doing genius masterstrokes on a daily basis. Yesterday, he reminded everyone that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and lied about it. Today, he's reminding the entire country that he was Epstein's partner in raping children. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

We want to bring attention to something that happened last month that hasn’t gotten nearly enough coverage. On April 23, a DHS contractor building Trump’s border wall bulldozed 60 feet of the Las Playas Intaglio a 1,000-year-old fish-shaped geoglyph etched into

“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” the person said.  About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company. @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

"The alarming pace of this erosion has reached a tipping point. In the past two weeks alone, several courts have chastised DOJ prosecutors for irregularities in the grand jury process and gone so far as to dismiss indictments for grand jury misconduct."

Trump threatened to blow up Oman, confused Venezuela with Iran after he bragged about taking more cognitive tests than Obama, Canada made a major break from the U.S., and more. Your recap is here (paywall free):

Cutting off New York, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and other major ports of entry/departure from international flights would be the biggest self-inflicted wound to our economy since closing the Strait of Hormuz. The costs would be ridiculous. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

NEW: We just filed an amicus brief, alongside @campaignlegal.org, highlighting how donations to Trump's White House ballroom create a vehicle for pay-to-play access with little regard for the law or the American people. The court must halt construction of Trump's ballroom.

Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) says some Jan. 6 rioters should receive financial compensation.

More than 100 US ambassadorships remain vacant, a record-breaking figure that critics say signals a fundamental misunderstanding of professional diplomacy and an intentional bypass of established foreign policy channels in favor of personal emissaries.

Trump’s CFTC has pushed out senior career officials who raised concerns about crypto and prediction markets. It’s barely lifted a finger to regulate these rapidly expanding platforms. Trump’s family just so happens to have financial ties to both industries. Coincidence — or corruption?
