If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7
TRUMP: We have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that.
REPORTER: The price doubled
TRUMP: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person.
I asked @POTUS how the rising price of his ballroom (nearly x2 original estimate) and reflecting pool makeover (x7 original estimate) are any different than why he wanted to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell for 30% cost overruns.
Here’s his response:
@PrakashAmritraj Hi - just followed you and have a question. Need to start by telling you that you’re great. In all aspects of what you do for TC and the sport, I’ve only seen you be on point.
Oh, the question! I overheard part of a discussion during the Sunshine Double. In particular, it was about how the subsequent 2-3 tournaments did *not* have such a catchy name, with you offering to create one. Which tourneys, and did you announce the name? [Sorry if I missed it!]
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
