Trump said openly that there should not be midterm elections, claiming that presidents don’t tend to win them. He appears to be laying the groundwork for this. This is the "big beautiful bill" is an issue. ICE was obscenely funded starting this year.

Sickening. Maria Machado going to White House and plans to give Trump her “Nobel Peace Prize." This is not recognized by Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Will they demand the $5 M back? This is disgusting. Trump said yesterday he supports current president, Delcy Rodríguez. She is humiliating herself

Trump is threatening to invoke Insurrection Act. ICE appears to be escalating the situation. Trump claims Democrats are sending agitators, suggesting he has already decided and is laying groundwork in advance.This allows deployment of army and national guard. This is his way to arrest people on mass

Now Trump wants Iceland and Greenland. When does congress and Senate admit he is crazy and dangerous. Think of all the money he is wasting and the lives he is destroying.

ICE confirmed another person shot; the individual was hit in the leg and is stable. Reports conflict: CBS says youth was swinging shovel, while people on street say otherwise, and there were also issues with AI misidentifying agents as experienced when they had little or no experience.

Jeffrey Toobin argues that if Trump takes the firing of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to the Supreme Court, Trump would likely win—a goal Republicans have pursued for a long time and one likely to be supported by Chief Justice Roberts, who has argued that Watergate weakened presidential power.

In court, Renee Nicole Good was described as a non‑violent, caring school‑board mother, not a radical agitator. The DOJ is investigating her and her wife and not the ICE agent. It also got exposed all the lies that were told about her. Particularly from Vance, Bondi and Trump.

Trump’s private account in Qatar cannot be seized. He has deposited profits (400 to 500 M) from the first batch of Venezuelan oil and claims Venezuela—or past investors who lost money—are not his concern. He reportedly has over $1. to 2 billion left in potential oil sales remaining.

What’s not being discussed: The FCC chair is pushing for Nexstar to acquire Tegna, which would give them control over 80% of broadcasters in the U.S.—well above the previous 39% limit. This would expand the power of the president and FCC commissioner Brendan Carr to target people they oppose.

UAW stands with Ford worker, who called Trump a protector of pedophiles. They are safeguarding his job. Someone also started a GoFundMe, which has raised over $450,000.

Trump had to reschedule: They need to re-schedule the G7 meeting in the U.S. because it conflicts with the wrestling event Trump organized to celebrate the U.S. birthday. I don’t think this was by chance.

Europeans are now clear: the U.S. is no longer leading the alliance, and many are turning away from it. Article 5 has been invoked only once—by the U.S.—and European countries and Canada showed up. During the first Iranian revolution, Canadian diplomats risked executions to get Americans out.
