Say, maybe that pool boy Melania recommended doesn’t know as much about algae as we were led to believe. Perhaps his expertise lies in other fields. https://t.co/Li27Xj7yFF
Dana White released the actual invite list for Trump's birthday UFC night. Adam Sandler, Tom Brady, The Rock, Jason Statham, Jared Leto, Mario Lopez, Guy Ritchie. Every one of them said no. What was left standing in that arena was Mark Zuckerberg, a handful of Trump relatives, and Nate Bargatze doing his best with a room that didn't want to be there.
Three days later the Obama Foundation released its own list. Stevie Wonder. Bruce Springsteen. Bono. The Edge. Jennifer Hudson. John Legend. Eddie Vedder. Nobody had to twist an arm to get any of them on a plane to Chicago.
The presidency ends eventually. The ability to fill a room because people actually want to be there either survives that or it never existed in the first place.

Trump on the new plane he's been gifted from Qatar: "This plane was transformed into a White House at a level of luxury that nobody has ever seen before"
It appears the paint or whatever the Trump regime used to cover the large "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has worn away, and the numbers are once again visible.

Kratom is a plant from Asia that hits the same brain receptors as opioids. People take it for energy or pain. It can be addictive and it can kill.
People buy it at gas stations, with no age check and no honest label.
Markwayne Mullin owns up to a million dollars in a kratom company. Then he stood at an FDA podium and pushed rules to crush that company’s rivals. He never sold the stock.
The company was founded by a felon who stole $10 million and did prison time. His kratom shots are tied to liver damage, seizures, and death. The stuff showed up in 5,200 overdose deaths in five years. A 27 year old grad student took it for six weeks and died. His mother says a real ban would have saved him.
You cannot make this up. The same company paid a Trump connected lobbyist $600,000.
Then the payoff. The Justice Department dropped its lawsuit. The FDA scrubbed the warnings off its website. RFK Jr. called Ohio’s governor to kill a state ban. And the company wired a million dollars to a PAC tied to Kennedy.
This is the swamp they swore to drain. It is worse than ever before.

BREAKING:
Asked by Axios what he'd learned from the Iran war about the limits to his power, Trump said: "There are no limits."
"I haven't learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but there are no limits."

Reflecting Pool Blue Paint update, Thursday 4:30pm. Yes, it's still pretty green and yes, the blue paint is peeling up in spots, poking above the surface.
Trump: The Congressional Medal of Honor. I wanted to give it to myself, but I was informed I couldn't do it and I couldn't find anything where I was actually worthy so here we are,
wow -- Tim Kaine demolishes Kari Lake
KAINE: She accused one of our sitting colleagues of being controlled by the cartels. You had no evidence then nor do you have any now that Sen. Gallego is controlled by cartels, do you?
LAKE: Well, we provided the receipts--
KAINE: This was rated pants on fire. You have no evidence. Isn't that right?
LAKE: I don't know
KAINE: How about an apology to our colleague?
JD Vance flat out lies to Ross Douthat by claiming that Trump's MOU includes an agreement to destroy Iran's nuclear materials (this in fact is not in the deal)
