President Trump's UFC event on the White House lawn "was all overridden by this comment" after a fighter made a derogatory remark about former first lady Michelle Obama, Kara Swisher says.
The US Marshals Service has important roles: tracking down fugitives, and protecting witnesses and judges.
We got records showing that USMS apparently had to divert $18 million in resources to help with Trump's DC takeover. https://t.co/Rpzx7qewbm
The administration says we can afford $70 billion more for ICE and Border Patrol. So why can't we afford to process work applications for DACA recipients? Or a path to citizenship?
Here's the thing: of course we can.
Sen. Jon Husted voted against two amendments that would have directed federal investigations into insurance company denials of medical care — votes cast after the same industry contributed more than $679,000 to his campaigns and as ACA insurers raise Ohio rates by as much as 37%.

Fox is buying Roku.
Ellison bought CBS and CNN.
Bezos owns WaPo.
ABC and NBC owners support Trump.
We need to grow independent, pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket now. https://t.co/0StGlWz45f
This is how you capture the press. You let the friendly billionaire buy it, and you clear the path.
Here’s what just happened:
Career DOJ antitrust lawyers spent months investigating Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. They were leaning toward challenging it as anticompetitive. Then leadership shut it down before staff could even file their recommendation.
Paramount is run by David Ellison, son of Trump ally Larry Ellison. And Warner Bros owns CNN.
Ellison told Trump officials he would make sweeping changes to CNN. He already installed Bari Weiss atop CBS News, and she is expected to help oversee CNN. As Pete Hegseth said out loud, “the sooner David Ellison takes over that network the better.”
So connect the dots.
A regulator overrides its own experts to greenlight a deal.
The deal hands a Trump ally control of a major newsroom. And the administration barely hides its enthusiasm for what comes next.

Obama wasn’t giving them our money either — he was unfreezing their assets and they all lost their minds.
The point was that Iran was getting money. Now they’re getting A LOT MORE, but that’s… good? Because… reasons?
The real issue is not even that @elonmusk is a trillionaire, but it is how a country that is producing such unprecedented wealth can fail to provide healthcare for all its citizens.
It is a values issue.
We need a New Deal for our time.

There’s a reason the administration is keeping us all in the dark on what’s in the MOU and it’s because we aren’t going to like it. Even Lindsey Graham knows that.
The tough stuff like the Iranian nuclear program will be negotiated over the next couple of months and who knows how long that can will be kicked down the road. It’s tougher than the JCPOA Trump says?
Consider the hundreds of billions Iran may get as well as the billions they already have in sanctions relief and side deals with Gulf states!
Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ... "
(So American taxpayers paid both to bomb Iran and then for Iran's reconstruction ... )
