Deported, then readmitted, with no explanation from the Trump Admin. “Neither he nor his attorney has received any explanation from ICE or the Department of Homeland Security for why they are allowing his return after rapidly deporting him in January.”

The Trump administration gave a secret, no-bid contract to the firm building the WH ballroom -- after inflating its value 3X. This time, the government pays, not private donors. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

Even after an emergency, Trump’s repeated praise of the press is v strange. Attacking and eroding the press’s role in democracy is one of the key pillars of his movement and presidency., for years. Reporters investigated, outlets impeded at the WH, outlets sued. It all remains.

Here's Trump on Jan 13, 2021, after he'd been impeached, but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict and bar him from office for life. "There's never a justification for violence ... Those who engaged in attacks last week will be brought to justice."

(Reuters) - Long after the ceasefire was meant to take effect, Kuwait, the UAE and Bahrain all reported fresh Iranian missile and drone strikes, several of which targeted vital oil, power and desalination infrastructure. Iran also attacked Saudi Arabia's huge East-West Pipeline to the Red Sea just hours after the ceasefire was agreed, an industry source told Reuters. The pipeline is the main route by which some oil has been able to bypass the blockaded strait.
