If DOD needs $80b to replenish stocks and pay for Trump’s unauthorized, unwise, and unsuccessful war, every cent should come out of the bloated appropriation for ICE and border patrol for Trump’s awful mass deportation project.

Such an impudent plan. It is illegal for us “to take the Strait of Hormuz.” We will alienate the entire world if we did so. Hope this is just bluster.

Lindsey Graham: "I spent 4.5 hours with President Trump on Friday. Here's what I think will happen next. If this deal fails, President Trump is gonna take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation ... if Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States we'll obliterate them."

Trump says US might "take over" Strait of Hormuz if Iran deal isn't reached and threatens Iranian negotiators now in talks with Vice President Vance. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4gyeIfw

Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding administrative procedures, and an executive order that few people are paying attention to. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-executiv…

Kind of amazing that Todd Blanche enjoyed spending two days with Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, while refusing to meet with survivors.
Aaron Parnas@AaronParnas
NEW : Epstein survivors blast Todd Blanche following hearing in front of the House. “Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ cannot continue to claim it is protecting victims while refusing to meet with survivors, failing to explain what it has done with their evidence, and dismissing legitimate outrage as hysteria.”

The strait was open before your war. Your war closed it. And then you had to pledge billions and billions to these autocrats to reopen it.
This unnecessary war is Trumps worst foreign policy mistake.

JD Vance on Fox & Friends this morning: "One of the things the president has set us out to do as a high priority is to open the straits. That's now happened." (The strait has since been closed lol)

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.
The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.
Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.
The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

The continuing price of Trump's incompetence.
Trump signed a "deal" that was contingent on Israel ending it's disastrous war in Lebanon and apparently he didn't check that with Israel.

You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House.
The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

Just when you thought the “deal“ with Iran could not get any worse…

BREAKING: Iranian officials said they have closed the Strait of Hormuz — citing what they said was the U.S. failure to stop the fighting in Lebanon as required under the agreement signed by Trump.

It’s crazy that we are at this point. We have a president who is clearly not well, but still holds his party in thrall.

Trump is clearly lying in this encounter as he provides his own motive for the lie.

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.
This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.
The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.
They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.
It’s total hypocrisy.
An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.
I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.

Paint was seen peeling from the floor of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, weeks after a $14 million renovation that included a new color President Trump called “American Flag Blue.”

Trump's family crypto business is expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank — a decision, made by the Trump administration, that would give U.S. companies a new route to steer money to the president. "For the first time in history, a president is leaning on a bank regulator to give his private enterprise the implicit backing of the federal government." notus.org/economy/trump-…
