Rubio just now: “He was just here because his brother lives here and I'm a good friend of Michael, so we had a chance to catch up.”

Said Boulos wasn’t involved in policy discussions at lunch (which was described as “working lunch” in daily schedule)

BREAKING: One of America's most-admired general officers, CD Donahue, is the latest Army leader to be forced out at the Pentagon, @nancyayoussef and @missy_ryan report: https://t.co/v7co5kMo5n

NOW: A machine pumps chemicals into the Reflection Pool in Washington DC as part of an effort to clear out the algae.

[Sara McGee for Texas HD 132 @SaraForTexLege]

I say this with no ill will and *some* animosity. I am a Democrat. I earned the nomination to be the person facing the Republican incumbent in Texas House District 132.

Over the last 18 months, I’ve built my own team using my OWN resources and collectively we have knocked on over 40,000 doors in that time.

Unless something crazy happens in the next 6 days, I will file a TEC report that shows that my campaign has ~$2,500 COH.

So when you say “Don't use our resources.” Literally what resources?

“Don't rely on our volunteers.” I’m sorry, WHOSE volunteers? Because you do not own volunteers.

“Don't use our infrastructure.” WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE? Because I am out here on an island in west Harris County and I may not even be able to afford yard signs ffs.

And last but not least: “Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.”

Heard.

Loud and clear.

I won’t ask for anything.

I started this campaign knowing that this was a long shot. I had no money, no political experience or connections, and just a burning desire to just give something BETTER to my hometown than what they have now. And every part of my being is committed to achieving that goal.

And Jamie, I promise that I won’t use “your” resources to win.

God I hate politics.

@ThirdWayTweet The Schumer wing of the Democratic party is happy to put "affordability" on a sticker but will never go after the companies that cause problems, Green says.

[Heather Timmons @HeathaT]

“Americans across the country are angry,” at high prices, the power of billionaire CEOs and Trump’s failure to control the economy @AGRobBonta says, opening the @openmarkets conf in DC.
"State AGs have a big role" to play to check monopolies and billionaires, he says.

[Heather Timmons @HeathaT]

Green is tearing into @ThirdWayTweet advice that Dem candidates should not message about fighting corporate power.
(Third Way not so popular here at the anti-monopoly conference).

SCOOP: White House adviser Stephen Miller was the driving force behind DOJ’s memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care, said people briefed on the situation.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Yeah, that’s illegal. The Post Office can’t refuse to deliver mail to try and get policy concessions.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

not quite yet!

[Eleanor Mueller @Eleanor_Mueller]

To be clear: Trump has no leverage here. If he doesn’t sign the housing bill within 10 days, it becomes law automatically. If, before then, he vetoes, Congress has the votes to override.

Trump's son-in-law, Michael Boulos, sits next to Rubio in this meeting in UAE with Sheikh MBZ, the country's leader. Boulos is a businessman who has no official post (his father has one). He visited UAE in May 2025 with Trump for a business event.
