Dem Sen. Whitehouse says he’s “not impressed” by the allegations against Graham Platner in the latest NYT report.

“Seems like a lot of nothing. I mean, the only one who had anything to say that seemed ‘unsettling’ was a woman who works for right-wing political operations.”

I've lived here well over a decade and these parks and sites have never been so nice to walk through. Thank you, Mr. President!

The groups! @mattyglesias

NEW: Tlaib is moving forward w/ her Lebanon war powers resolution without changes leadership wanted because that would’ve pushed a vote to July, I’m told.

“The groups are just tired of waiting," Rep. Delia Ramirez, Tlaib’s co-lead, told @axios

I love the details about NOTUS negotiation with the Washington Star. NOTUS offered $5k for the trademark. Star countered with ….$10 million https://t.co/xc2GSLdg1o

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

Today @POTUS signed an EO that keeps America leading in AI while putting frontier AI capabilities to work strengthening our cyber defenses.

AI systems are now the most powerful tools we have ever had to harden our cyber infrastructure and stay ahead of adversaries. It is a real blessing that these capabilities are being developed by American industry, and not by those who would use them against us.

52-46: Senate along party lines confirmed RNC senior counsel Kathleen Lane to be U.S. District Court judge for Montana. She previously served as Montana Deputy Solicitor General. Senators Bennet (D-CO) and Rounds (R-SD) missed the vote.

Embarrassing and self-important DC lawyers/haters in shambles.

[Senate Cloakroom @SenateCloakroom]

I've never done hard drugs, but I imagine it's similar to the feeling I get having my wife completely in stitches with one of my bits, laughing so hard there's tears while she can't breathe.

[Vice President JD Vance @VP]

Last week, Vice President Vance invited Attorneys General from across the country to participate in a roundtable on combatting fraud.

The Trump Administration's War on Fraud continues🇺🇸

Incredibly bleak story about a new kind of wanton cruelty that should be reserved only for British politicians being bullied by tabloids (eg bacon sandwich).

Easy to forget after 20 years how miserable high school can be. Phones have just made it worse.

.@SecScottBessent destroys the @washingtonpost in the White House briefing room:

"Who here is from the Post? Yeah, terribly written, terribly edited."

"Basically what it says is that Treasury is following the law?"

[Sean Cooksey @SeanJCooksey]

I'm shocked to learn that the Libertarian Party reacted that way.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

A push to mandate business-casual attire, neat facial hair and closed-toe shoes sparked fierce debate. https://t.co/EXM4QtX6jL

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Mother Teresa left a tremendous legacy of compassion and service. I was honored to visit the Missionaries of Charity today to pay homage to her legacy and to see the living example of the Catholic faith in action.

.@AFergusonFTC: "Today is about bringing justice to the fraudsters at an unprecedented pace... This is going to become the new norm for American fraud prosecutions."

Has Ken Martin tried not spending $28 on lunch?

The new ballroom is coming along very nicely. I don't know why so many people are complaining.

We are a Choose Life family, but we respect every member of the coalition.

When you register as a Republican in Virginia, they make you pick which part of the GOP's three-legged stool you want to identify with.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Billions of dollars of fraud already uncovered and we're just getting started.

More to come.
