“A button on the app gives users the option to ‘text President Trump,’ which, when clicked, opens a text message draft on the user’s phone made out to a pre-selected number with the default text ‘Greatest President Ever!’”

SCOOP: The White House is requiring agencies to install its new, highly politicized app on the government phone of every federal employee who has one. The move is highly unusual and creates vulnerabilities, experts say. With @AlmsNatalie, full details 👇

These Knicks are in rarified air right now. They're beating teams by an average of 18.4 points per game these playoffs. That's the largest margin of victory in NBA playoffs history (by nearly four points).

The dewokification of Twitter bios is a funny untold story.
AOC and Buttigieg removed pronouns from their bios after Peak Woke. Kamala still has them in (she/)hers

CNN: While Hong appears to have maintained previous posts calling to defund or abolish the police, she has deleted other posts. Her Twitter bio, which for years placed her locationas “Occupied Ho-Chunk Land” - a Native American people whose historic territory included parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois – was changed sometime after March 2023 to simply read “Wisconsin, USA.” Hong told CNN that she occasionally updates her bio on social media, and she “wanted to acknowledge the full state rather than just my hometown” of Madison. “Any responsible elected official should recognize our relationship with our tribal neighbors,” she said. #WisconsinGovernor

I spoke with two dozen Harris campaign staffers, White House aides, elected Dems, operatives, and donors about whether Kamala Harris should run for president in 2028. Aside from her own advisers, none spoke enthusiastically about another campaign.

Huge day for fans of Trump's 250-foot triumphal arch
Jonathan Edwards@jonathanreports
Breaking: Trump's 250-foot triumphal arch just cleared a key hurdle: A federal arts commission packed w his allies approved it over public complaints it's too big and detracts from the solemnity of Arlington National Cemetery. w @ddiamond

Fascinating dynamic here is that Trump’s fixation on punishing members of Congress who aren’t totally servile means he’s effectively primaried Republicans out of a majority and now has no power

News — Nearly 2-hour meeting with Acting AG Todd Blanche and Senate Republicans was incredibly hostile, per multiple attendees. As many as 25 GOP senators spoke (this is very rare for these meetings), all in opposition to weaponization fund. R’s pitched specific ideas such as dictating how the 5 commissioners are chosen & not allowing people convicted of violence against cops to be eligible for a payout.

"That people who ransacked the Capitol, smashing windows and fighting with the police, could get money from the same federal government they attacked was the latest head-spinning twist in the effort to rewrite the history of Jan. 6" @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/05/20/us/…

Melania made $16 million against $75 million Amazon paid to produce and promote it
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Bezos on the Melania movie: "By the way, it appears it was a good business decision. It did very well in theaters. It's done very well on streaming. People are very curious about Melania. So even though I had nothing to do with it, it appears the Amazon team made a very wise business decision."
