“a person familiar with the Secret Service budget, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly, told The Washington Post the funding was to help pay for a new WH East Wing that includes a large ballroom” https://t.co/oeApZvMiU5

Oversight and Judiciary Dems visited Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison today, it is essentially a pristine park with fountains and ample green space. She’s the only convicted sex offender there. Why did @DAGToddBlanche move her here? This isn’t justice.

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

The BOP wants you to believe there is no other prison in the United States that Ghislaine Maxwell would be safe in than this one, which has no other child sex predators and also happens to be located near her sister.

Huge win!! In partnership with Senator Lisa Murkowski, we protected the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.

Gangel: In March, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan go to the oval office for a formal sit down interview with the president. He's very proud about some presidential historian has given him this document, which he says shows he's more powerful than Hitler and Stalin. 

He's proudly reading it and showing it to them, and they can't figure out who the presidential historian is. And they start searching. Name doesn't show up. But the president had said that this historian was a friend of former hall of fame golfer Gary Player. So they search…the historian is Gary Player's former caddie.

BREAKING: A massive flu outbreak has left 160 troops ill at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. This comes just weeks after Pete Hegseth made flu shots optional, scrapping a military vaccine requirement that had stood since 1945.

Is this what they meant by battle readiness?

Dear younger voters who went for Trump in ‘24, watch the speeches of Prez & Michelle Obama & Mamdani today then compare it to Trump speaking at the White House this afternoon. Ask yourself what kinda world you wanna live in & what real leadership looks like. Then get involved.

NEW: A blistering response to Justice Dept's claim that the alleged UFC plot shows why a new White House ballroom is needed

Preservation group argues:

"Sunday’s event, with 4,000 attendees, would not have even fit in the proposed ballroom"

"The President, the Vice-President, and Speaker Johnson all attended, with full Secret Service knowledge of the alleged plot that was 'detected and disrupted' four days earlier"

Oh look, some straight up government waste 🙄

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Sen. Jon Ossoff accused what he called the "Mar-a-Lago mafia" of profiting from Middle East tensions, citing reports involving Pete Hegseth's broker, Jared Kushner's Saudi-backed fund, and suspicious oil trades before a Trump post moved markets.

He's calling for investigations and promising subpoenas if Democrats win back Congress.

The SEC just got mentioned in a campaign speech for a reason. 👀

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

Correct. Vance makes it sound like Trump should be credited with Epstein’s arrest. In fact there is no evidence Trump reported anything before Epstein’s arrest in Florida.

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

The story may have proven he was suicidal — but that doesn’t mean he killed himself. Ive covered prison deaths for a good deal of my career. Plenty of inmates are suicidal — and consider suicide. They don’t end up dead like this. Epstein didn’t even know how to tie a noose.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: A federal judge allowed legal challenges to Trump's executive order targeting mail voting to proceed, ruling it would harm states' ability to carry out the midterms.

While Trump and GOP states requested that the suits be dismissed, the judge said the order was "ripe and fit" for legal review. https://t.co/uhHQsBxM1M

Buried in the Senate-reported NDAA is a provision giving the Pentagon authority to make equity investments in private companies. The federal government shouldn't be picking favored companies and making them their investor, customer, regulator, and political patron, writes Cato's @DeHavenTad.

Pastors for Trump founder Jackson Lahmeyer has suspended his congressional campaign after the Daily Mail published flirty text messages with a woman who wasn’t his wife.

In one text, Lawmayer said he was offered cocaine after leaving Mar-a-Lago to visit a strip club at 1am.

Conservative radio host @shelleywynter1, one of Gov. Brian Kemp’s biggest boosters in 2022, endorsed @ossoff yesterday on the air. “Everything you're doing, everything you've done, I agree with. I have some minor disagreements…but on the big things, I'm on your team.”
