Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

Now that he’s said the quiet part out loud in no uncertain terms, can we stop the “don’t be so alarmist” contingent. Time to be alarmed and loud.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Come on @schumer.senate.gov ! Let’s not do a sequel of March. Time for a different strategy. No bonus points for “process wins.”
Schumer has learned NOTHING
Donald Trump has made it clear
He believes Democrats are the enemy. He won't negotiate with them
Plus-he doesn't need to make deals. He'll just dictate terms to Mike Johnson, John Thune and the MAGA Congress
Then he'll take the money and do whatever he wants anyway

Rep. Massie dropped a bomb: Billionaire John Paulson, top GOP donor, bankroller of the Speaker, and Trump’s campaign, is in Epstein’s black book.
This is why they’re terrified of a full release.
The truth won’t just expose Epstein.
It will expose the powerful who enabled him.

People who come to DC to serve are the most likely to have multiple principal residences (that's the terminology, not primary) & it is perfectly legal for them to do so. It's just as legal for Lisa Cook to have a principal residence during the school year & one for the summer.
PRO PUBLICA: “.. at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

If the government feels their actions are justified, there is nothing to hide, right?
Anyone being detained by law enforcement in America deserves to know who is detaining them and why.
