After an obscure defense vendor won a $12 million no-bid contract w/ ICE, I noticed something odd on its website: The firm was using a (still watermarked!) stock photo for the chief of its “development team.”
Things only got more bizarre from there…

Per a new letter from @RepRaskin, the FBI under @Kash_Patel reinstated/paid a settlement to an agent who:
-was fired for not working on a probe into Patriot Front, a neo-nazi group, claiming that it was politically motivated
-paid for sex on a work trip overseas

This is exactly why @CREWcrew requested that the Department of Transportation Inspector General investigate Secretary Duffy's role in this project, funded by big business in the industry that Duffy gets paid by taxpayers to oversee. We need MORE answers ...
Daniel Lippman@dlippman
SCOOP: I obtained a pitch deck in which the entity that paid for Transportation Sec’y Duffy’s new reality show outlined different partner levels — $1 million, $500,000, $250,000 and $100,000 — which include recognition on its sponsors page and networking. static.politico.com/74/6e/5da7a151…

Who’s going to China with Trump? A lot of donors to his inauguration, pro-Trump groups and pet projects:
Blackstone, Boeing, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm and Visa all donated to his inauguration.
Blackrock and Micron donated to both his inauguration and WH ballroom.

More than a dozen business & tech leaders are joining President Trump on his trip to China this week, per a WH official ->

So the Supreme Court said four months was too close to the Texas primary for a lower court to block their congressional map, but one week is enough time in Alabama?

NEW: The Pentagon IG said it will NOT investigate the military flyover of Kid Rock's home and a "No Kings" protest, citing Sec. Pete Hegseth’s decision not to pursue the matter.
This is an alarming response. IG's need to be independent, not defer to the head of their agency.

BREAKING: SCOTUS just denied our motion to recall the judgment in Louisiana v. Callais, which the Court transmitted prematurely and in contravention of the procedural rules that typically affords litigants 25 days to request a rehearing of a case that was wrongly decided. 1/5

Interesting how the national debt panic (and the beltway groups that fulminated about it) vanished - even though the total debt has more than doubled since the 2011 debt ceiling wars.
Great @RichardRubinDC story, WSJ A1, no discourse! wsj.com/economy/u-s-de…

A January 6th insurrectionist pardoned by President Trump was caught in a massive human trafficking and prostitution sting in Florida over the weekend.
That adds to growing number of pardoned insurrectionists facing charges for serious crimes. thehill.com/opinion/lindse…

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in
COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

Old enough to remember Trump’s DOJ indicting Jerome Powell over cost overruns for two Federal Reserve renovations.
Aaron Blake@AaronBlake
Trump says that the price of his ballroom potentially doubling over time isn't a "cost overrun" because the higher cost was announced a long time ago when they increased its size.

Perfection. Grassley comms director spends all night freaking out that this provision is NOT funding a ballroom, White House comes out and says thank you Congress for funding the ballroom.
Jordain Carney@jordainc
New: WH views Senate GOP's East Wing language as Congress approving the project and believes lawsuit should be dropped: “The White House applauds Congress’s latest proposal" Senate Rs are saying their intent isn't authorizing ballroom/funding it but Secret Service security upgrades politico.com/news/2026/05/0…

Car brain needs to be studied because this is a driver crossing a double yellow line around a curve on a two-lane road and they still have people defending them in the replies

Yesterday, I spoke with @NicolleDWallace on @MSNOWNews regarding the President and his sons’ continuing corruption by profiting from his public office. Trump wants to call himself the “President of Peace” while his sons profit from his war with Iran. youtube.com/watch?v=jEhQuH…

ICYMI: Some real gems in a now-moving Senate package of Trump nominees to be U.S. Attorneys.
Darin Smith, up for the job in Wyoming, has never even tried a case in federal or state court.
He also took part in the Jan. 6, 2021 protests at the Capitol. 🇺🇸 huffpost.com/entry/trump-un…

SCOTUS just gutted the Voting Rights Act, which dealt a key blow to Jim Crow.
Meanwhile, the Trump admin is removing exhibits on slavery and going after the nonprofit that exposed the Ku Klux Klan.
These efforts to rewrite history and undermine civil rights cannot succeed.
