‘When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when a people become an audience... then a nation finds itself at risk’ — Neil Postman, 1985

Kanye West hugs President Trump, drops F-word and talks social issues ... and hydrogen planes and mental health and endorsement deals and politics and, oh, so much more. By @catherine_lucey: https://t.co/ggwv1cSDu1

This is not true

Trump: Roger Marshall was mandated by law to request money owed from patients. You have to by law go after those people, and they made it like he was some kind of a Shylock type guy, I don’t know if I should be saying it.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is expected to be sidelined for multiple months after new imaging over the weekend found several blood clots in his lungs.

Hurts is now on blood thinners and should have no long-term effects. But it’s unlikely he plays again this season.

Leo Wise, a hard-nosed ex federal prosecutor whose career spanned Enron to Hunter Biden makes a powerful case that the Supreme Court has made public integrity prosecutions impossible — ushering a golden age of corruption.

Infuriating. Heidi Levine is one of the bravest and hardest working journalists I’ve ever worked with:

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

I think it's pretty commonsensical to ask the government -- which is spending untold millions to find illegal immigrant voting -- what specifically they have found.

[Shawn Hanley @hanley_sha22299]

@GlennThrush Oh good. When I see the activist press get riled up about it, I always wonder why.

I don't know the exact number. I have common sense though.

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

Nothing. How many of them are there?

[Shawn Hanley @hanley_sha22299]

@GlennThrush Glenn, what is controversial about preventing non-citizens from voting? Why are the Dems you work for so resistant to cleaning up the voter rolls?

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

Blanche says "we've proven" that "noncitizens and aliens" have been voting. He does not say how many.

Recent studies shows the total to be about .0002%.

An all-hands effort by DHS/DOJ has thus far uncovered very, very few possible instances.

[Attorney General Todd Blanche @AGToddBlanche]

Got your letter—after millions of illegal aliens flooded our country for four years and we’ve proven noncitizens and aliens have been voting since then, if you were really concerned about election integrity, you would help this administration clean voter rolls in your state and ensure the votes of millions of American citizens are protected.

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

“… you can read the complaint, you can understand the mythology.”

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

.@USAttyEssayli for @USAO_LosAngeles to @FoxNews on the complaint against California over its voter list: “When we're telling them you have 20,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls, you're going to be diluting the votes of American citizens. Their response is, ‘It's too late; we already mailed the ballots.’ That's not how the law works, and we're going to go to court. This is a matter of law…All we are asking them to do is sequester the ballots.”

[Jessica Huseman @JessicaHuseman]

You know the DOJ worked really hard on a lawsuit when in paragraph three it says "voter role" instead of "roll."

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

By my count, this brings the total number of people charged nationwide with noncitizen voting since 2025 to 104, of which 82 have been lawful permanent residents, not "illegal aliens" as Trump claims.

This latest includes 9 green card holders, most between the ages of 59 and 73.

This is such a gutting loss. We love you, Laura. The absolute best of the best. https://t.co/4ZR5SBcKWN

Bill Essayli, who has been leading the US attorneys office in LA (sans Senate confirmation), is among the DOJ officials seeking to block 20k mail-in ballots in California.

Essayli is likely to be disqualified from his post shortly, per @MitchABlack

A huge loss. RIP to Laura Lytle, who led the Senate Daily Press Gallery with humor, skill and resolve during a tumultuous time in history, including January 6, 2021. We'll all miss her. https://t.co/Jkg1cQXZGr

[Savannah Behrmann @SavBehrmannDC]

Laura was a "fierce advocate for press access at the Capitol and brought a sense of humor to a job that could sometimes feel fraught, according to reporters who got to know her during her time on the Hill," writes @_ninaheller

RIP to an incredible person

The best

[Mike DeBonis @mikedebonis]

Laura had no business being as kind as she was while doing the job that she had. She is so very missed. https://t.co/I6s1jZKSsP

[Paul Kane @pkcapitol]

“What about us?”

This captures Laura Lytle so perfectly. She yelled it on 1/6 to Capitol Police on Senate floor during evacuation, getting us & staff to safety.
I recall it so clearly. Yet it’s how she approached her job with us every day. RIP.
