DC Bureaucrats hijacked Virginia… but we will restore it.
Arlington and Alexandria were always meant to be a part of DC.
That’s why I introduced the Make DC Square Again Act, because it’s a simple concept: DC = 🟥

@jamiedupree Why does any type of chicken need an amendment? Isn't that part of "farm" or is "hot rotisserie" disqualifying?

Occidental College students have launched a NEW encampment protest, calling on Trustees to divest from companies that “profit off and enable Israeli genocide.”
They cite Israel’s destruction of Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran — including of schools just like theirs.

What a SPECTACULAR question from @jacob_wass.
I’ve never seen the corporate media hacks even dream of having the courage to ask something like this, yet they continue to shove the fancy name of their organization in everybody’s faces while looking down their noses at TMZ & co.

TMZ: When you give these orders to carry out this extreme level of violence, what's going through your mind and your body? Do you have, like, an adrenaline rush? Hegseth: It's a very TMZ question.

I am appalled to hear about the 31 sloths who died under the “care” of the not yet opened Sloth World in Orlando.
These sloths — naturally solitary animals — were put in the worst conditions possible. They were taken from their natural habitats to a packed warehouse that wasn’t properly heated and allowed for the spread of deadly viruses, leading to a stress-induced death.
My office is looking into this tragedy, and we will coordinate with local officials to determine how to best move forward.

💢 For the first time in decades, three U.S. aircraft carriers are operating simultaneously in the Middle East, according to U.S. Central Command.
The USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald R. Ford, and USS George H.W. Bush — each with its full carrier strike group — bring more than 200 aircraft and over 15,000 sailors and Marines into the region. The deployment includes advanced fighter jets, electronic warfare aircraft, surveillance platforms, and a dozen warships, significantly expanding U.S. air and naval power.
The last time three carriers operated under CENTCOM was in 2003, during the Iraq invasion, underscoring the scale of the current buildup.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

Rep. Andrew Clyde R-GA has introduced a bill which would do away with all 'TPS' designations - arguing that the 'Temporary Protected Status' has become a loophole for amnesty. The move comes after the House voted last week to let 350,000 Haitians stay temporarily in the U.S.

🚨 Smotrich: West Bank Settlement Expansion Has “Full Backing” of Trump Administration
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told the Jerusalem Post that Israel’s accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank is being carried out with full U.S. support, coordinated directly with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee.
▪️ Since the current government took office in 2022, over 51,000 housing units have been approved for the West Bank, according to Smotrich’s office.
▪️ The Sa-Nur settlement in West Bank, evacuated 20 years ago under Israel’s Disengagement Plan, was reestablished Sunday, with over a dozen families already in residence. Smotrich said more settlements would follow “very soon.”
▪️ Smotrich called on Netanyahu to order the IDF to prepare for the “full conquest” of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of Israeli settlements there as well.
▪️ He said Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are “part of the Iranian axis of evil” and dismissed documented Jewish extremist violence against Palestinians as “one of the biggest false campaigns there is.”
▪️ On international condemnation: “In the past, even building 50 housing units would lead to condemnation. Today it is very different.”
Smotrich acknowledged Trump has not yet backed full West Bank annexation, but claimed “we will also succeed in that.”

When DOGE started cutting National Weather Service staff, there were also cuts in the number of daily balloon launches to gather weather data. The graphic on the left is what went up today at 8 am EDT (1200z). The graphic on the right is from May 2, 2023.
Jamie Dupree@jamiedupree
I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

Every single time I read the IDF’s own statements about “eliminating” a “terrorist throwing stones”—referring to a child facing armed, armored soldiers—I gasp. I can never get used to the fact that this is their PR-approved message.
