After Trump put his name on the Kennedy Center, "gifts to the arts institution plunged 42% and donation pledges dropped more than 100%."

How is that second number bigger than 100%? Apparently because earlier pledges were withdrawn.

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.

🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡

Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong."

Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

Donald Trump's promise to send $5,000 checks to every adult if the Republicans win the midterms has backfired horrifically.

New: The Trump administration has spent more than $1M in public funds so far to boost the president on the airwaves.

Experts including a Bush WH ethics lawyer said it likely violates federal laws against propaganda & political activity by gov’t staff. https://t.co/rOOvNncDND

After claiming its publicly funded campaign-style ads promoting Trump were mere “public service announcements,” the administration uses public money to re-run an actual Trump campaign video from the 2024 election; instead of the 2024 campaign logo and phone number, it now says “paid for by the US government”: https://t.co/Fnhln7vjAl
