Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

TAPPER: I have a hard time thinking that if a D president held a dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged
MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about

It was a team effort to go through this list of attendees and attempt to contact them. Also to go out to the Trump golf course in Virginia and to be there at the White House, all to document this event. Thanks readers for supporting this work.

Yes, we got a tip when the $TRUMP whales (biggest buyers of his crypto) were going to show up Friday at the White House for their VIP tour and The NYT was there. We had a list with their names. So we knew who they were. But they did not want to chat. I still tried...

Charlie Savage is right to explain how judicial victories against Trump’s onslaught can’t always undo the all harms he inflicts. . . .But they can sometimes undo much if not all of the damage, and the half of the glass that’s full is the half we’ve gotta drink from.

Trump left West Point after his speech instead of staying to shake the hand of every graduating cadet, as is longstanding tradition. If Obama or Biden had done that, we would never the hear the end of it. But it's Trump, so reporters don't care.

I highly recommend reading the source reporting for this story at the Mississippi Free Press. It brings in the larger context of the political systems that have rounded up Eriksen and those like him, not the criminals/drug traffickers Trump was selling.
