In court … a big, fat “told you so” from the conservation group that sued (unsuccessfully) to prevent Trump from his Reflecting Pool overhaul

It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years. 

(And George, thanks for the mints!)

Michelle Obama once asked her mother why she was holding Barack's hand on election night. Her mother replied, "His father left when he was two. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming the leader of the free world with no parents, so I took his hand."

Donald Trump mishandled classified documents after he left office.

He took classified intelligence to Mar-a-Lago and stored it in a bathroom.

The full Special Counsel report on it is still hidden from the public and Congress.

Jack Smith’s report should be released fully.

Donald is so desperate to never admit failure, even on something as small as the reflective pool, that they’ve started ARRESTING innocent people.

This is insane

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Trump's DOJ has killed a criminal investigation into Trump's pardon of David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted in a $1.6 billion fraud scheme.

Gentile had discussed making payments of over $2.5 million to Trump allies to help facilitate the pardon.

If the National guard is enforcing laws that don’t exist the commanders who give the order will need to be help accountable

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record that the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

"There are difficult cases. This is not one of them."

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Kennedy Center board member, files latest motion seeking permanent restoration of Kennedy Center name

"Pres. Kennedy’s name remains on the building. But the iconic letters are now obscured by a semi-permanent tarp, which appears to be Appellants’ effort to frustrate the restoration of the status quo"

"An act of petty defiance"

This photo was published of the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem? Giving a foreign leader visual access to a USG laptop, while using someone else’s CAC to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn.

Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is celebrating his birthday right now.

Laura Loomer was among the guests at the private party.

[BigDaddy @strujillo075]

IF THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE...Expressing an urgent need to "correct the record," lawmakers have asked a federal appeals court to overrule U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon and make Jack Smith's report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents prosecution of President Donald Trump public.

Today’s episode of “you can’t make this up:”

Trump set out to prove voter fraud in the voting machines. And found not a single instance of fraud, so they’re pretending the study never happened

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

I have to do another video on the reflective pool debacle. They are trying to say it was sabotaged by the left. They are unable to see a flaw in their God king. The Trump administration dumped hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae and it stripped the paint.

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.
