A federal court just confirmed what everyone already knew:
Trump’s DOJ is illegally using the machinery of government to target his political enemies with bogus investigations.
That’s not justice. It’s corruption. IT MUST END!
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.
Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. https://t.co/yGDgJciDQZ
Tom and I share a belief that California can lead the nation on climate action, affordable housing, and the fight for affordable healthcare for all Californians.
Onward to November.
You asked for it. Here is is: the Super-Scrubber at work in the Reflecting Pool today. It's quite a sight... and quite a smell.
Big thanks to our facilities team for getting this job done!
TRUMP: “I’m not concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning. I love it. I love the inflation.”
At this point I’m convinced Trump is intentionally trying to destroy the United States.
Today’s reporting confirms it: there is a massive, ongoing White House cover up of the Epstein Files.
Senior Trump officials, led by JD Vance, met in the Situation Room, in an attempt to keep the truth from the American people.
We will hold every single one of them accountable.
NEW: California Attorney General @AGRobBonta@RobBonta and Santa Clara County have filed California's 71st lawsuit against the Trump Administration, seeking to block construction of a proposed ICE facility near Gilroy.
The lawsuit alleges the project violates multiple federal laws and California's Williamson Act, arguing the site is protected agricultural land and was approved without required environmental review.
"The Trump Administration is ignoring the law and the wishes of the people of this state unfortunately yet again," said Bonta. "We've see this movie before, which is why we're taking them to court yet again," he continued.
I have reached out to the Trump Administration for the president's reaction and side to this.
(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Over the past year, my 850-page Trump-Epstein Scandal epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—whose chapters get released as I have material to release—established that Trump took charge of hosting parties where girls were trafficked.
24 hours ago this bombshell dropped:
Trump just signed a bill giving his private police $70 billion to terrorize immigrants.
Let's be clear -- this isn't about protecting borders. This is about targeting people because of the color of their skin and accent.
Think about the horror ICE caused last summer. Now imagine what they are going to do with this kind of funding. It's un-American.
