I just issued an executive order barring opportunist speculators from taking advantage of LA firestorm victims with unsolicited cash offers to buy their properties.
The last thing these victims need are greedy speculators taking advantage of their pain with low-ball offers.

There are so many reasons not to want the glib, superficial Pete Hegseth running our military, but his habit of calling soldiers "warfighters" and saying the Department of Defenses's mission is "war fighting" means he doesn't fully understand why American has a DEFENSE, not an OFFENSE, department.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

These false claims were trumpeted endlessly on TV and in print.
The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention.
This is how disinformation works.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?
He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.
And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

The real muscle behind Trump’s “populist” movement is the moneyed class — wealthy heiresses, tech bros, and crypto kings. They influence policy to favor the rich, and tell voters that immigrants and DEI have caused their economic plight.

Why you would run for one of the most important positions in the American system and hand that power to Trump is beyond me.
It is the job of the Senate to decide the fate of Trump’s nominees with its constitutional power to advise and consent. If it fails to do this, not only will the nation be saddled with reckless incompetents, the Senate’s own existence will be tragically diminished.

I’m going to say something historians rarely say.
We haven’t been here before.
We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government.
Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next.
There’s a wide array of options.
But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

2 wks after election, 2 mo before Trump 2.0.
Prepping for immigration lawyers:
1. Review all cases and come up with Plan B (and C or D)
2. Seek prosecutorial discretion where possible
3. Get immigration history of partner. Might be good to marry.
4. Log all work permit and TPS expiration dates.
