Kennedy Center Update: Trump has left his tarp up. Looks like he is still sulking over his name being removed.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump’s administration has barred the IRS from even looking at his past returns.

Teachers, nurses, and firefighters all pay what they owe.

Why does the President of the United States get a special tax deal?

SCOOP from @By_CJewett & me:

Markwayne Mullin urged @HHSGov to remove warnings from the @US_FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom.

Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited. https://t.co/rzkImei3VI

NEW: Florida’s Supreme Court refused to suspend or disbar Kenneth Chesebro, a key architect of Trump’s fake electors plot.

Instead, it restored his ability to practice law and gave him a "public reprimand" — despite a blistering dissent.

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!

On how the DC Circuit en banc can and should address Judge Boasberg's contempt of court proceedings that directly implicate Todd Blanche and Emil Bove.

No response from acting Attorney General Todd Blanche if DOJ is investigating Gov. Gavin Newsom after the California Democrat accused the department of targeting him and his wife

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Guys this is absolutely a disaster

[Izzy Gardon @iGardon]

👀HUGE scoop from @CarolLeonnig.

MS Now confirms the Trump administration has been pressuring career civil servants to “COME UP with a case against Gavin Newsom.”

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

If confirmed, this is a seismic scandal for both the worlds of politics and sports.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The Iran deal was signed on Sunday. The fact that the trump Administration hasn’t released the deal language and instead is having @JDVance try to spin the deal in advance tells you all you need to know.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth,

I am really glad all this is on video because otherwise no one would ever believe you are this stupid.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

HEGSETH: We have controlled the straits this entire time

BRENNAN: You're negotiating with them to reopen it

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

Acting AG Todd Blanche gave me his “word” DOJ will drop the so-called “anti-weaponization” slush fund—but refused to put it in writing. Meanwhile Trump is saying the opposite. We can’t take these people at their word.

@RepRaskin and I are pushing legislation to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t used to bankroll a president’s personal agenda.

[Evan @daviddunn177]

Eric Trump has since deleted this post, which confirms it was clearly not fabricated.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy.

But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Happy eight decades around the sun to America’s biggest loser, @realDonaldTrump! 🥳🎉

You can blow out the candles, but you can't wish away the damage.

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

The DOJ is attempting a cover-up.

I discovered a quiet policy change that now lets the AG approve prison transfers at their discretion.

This comes after they moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a prison that doesn't allow sex offenders. This is an attempt to cover their tracks. I will keep demanding answers.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

$14 million “beautification” and just 3 days later it looks worse than ever because there was a reason we didn’t paint the reflecting pool dark colors like “American flag blue.” Mainly that it would raise the water temp and cause rapid algae growth.
