Trump has had Secret Service funds redirected to White House Security Accounts tied to the East Wing Ballroom Project in the amount of $350 -$397 million dollars! I thought he had all the donations needed to pay for it. Lying again.
Heads up: The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a new rule that would allow it to refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that don't turn over voter rolls to the federal government.
Democrats and voting-rights groups say the proposed rule is clear evidence that the Trump admin is trying to unconstitutionally intrude on state-run elections.
If The New York Times got its hands on leaked audio recordings from the Situation Room, then we have a massive national security crisis on our hands. That very likely means our enemies know everything that’s been said in that room, at least since Trump took over.
This should be a massive scandal.
Miller makes dumb mistake with zero pressure by tossing puck over the glass for two minute penalty. Amazing how people are still raving about him lol. @NYRangers
A nugget buried in the big NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-gov't email.
Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!
More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.
Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.
Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.
Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.
I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.
I'm not sure the Irish understand the damage the recent story of their pumping economic support into Putin's war machine is doing to their reputation in Central/East Europe. The idea of Ireland standing on the side of the oppressed against imperialists is gone, probably forever.
Total collapse at russia's Sochi airport. Thousands of passengers have been stuck there ever since Friday's drone attack.
What’s the matter? Is your own little war getting in the way of your travel plans? 😏
This is the type of shit that needs no words to troll itself.
This is actually real… he’s really posting infomercials plugging this…
Using America’s 250th Anniversary too…
More like… “As my dad tanks the economy as fast as he can, nothing is more patriotic than getting your hands on some Don Jr Gold to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary in case it’s our last”
This is SNL material or even better #smokefleet material
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
They just made Kurt Olsen (the lawyer who helped Trump try to overturn the 2020 election) a senior attorney at the DOJ
The guy who drafted Texas v. Pennsylvania to toss millions of votes
Now he's in the Office of Legal Counsel
This isn't staffing. This is a hostage situation!
Not coincidentally, this attack is underway shortly after the U.S. delayed delivery of air defense missiles to Ukraine and after Zelensky wrote an urgent appeal to Trump writing, "I ask for your help in protecting Ukraine's skies from Russian missiles."
Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
