MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.

Higbie on Bannon: Why was he talking about replacing Trump, swapping Pompeo as the VP with Mike Pence, and then using the 25th amendment to make Pompeo the president?

[Roger Sollenberger @SollenbergerRC]

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. And the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website.

Pritzker: The problem is clear: rent is too high and home ownership is too far out of reach.

The cause is clear, too: we are not building enough homes fast enough.

In many places, local regulations have made it too difficult and costly to build new housing. Some of the rules even have shameful roots that go back to the days of redlining. Often, the problem is a failure to modernize and keep up with the changing times we live in. It all adds up to bureaucratic red tape that unnecessarily increases costs, delays construction, and frequently kills projects altogether. 

For example, local parking mandates often require a uniform minimum number of spaces for every new build – even in places where people don’t have cars because they have ample public transit and available street parking. Unused parking spots add millions of dollars in costs and severely limit the number of new units that can be built affordably. Spaces for cars are being prioritized over spaces for people. 

The great news is we have developers ready to build homes and Illinoisans who need them – but it doesn’t get done because of these regulations. It’s on us to help fix it.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Pritzker: We will enable more unused housing units to be redeveloped and put into service. City by city, town by town, neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block – a little more housing in each area can significantly advance our housing stock. 

We’ll add to that a robust approach to closing financing gaps for developing housing of all kinds – from targeted funds for smaller projects to direct support to local communities so they can clear initial hurdles and make housing sites build-ready. 

Focusing on affordable housing, the Next Generation Capacity Building Initiative is designed to provide capital, training, and technical resources to allow more affordable housing developers to access low-income tax credits in diverse communities. 

Removing barriers for homebuilders will attract responsible developers to build in places they have been unwilling to. 

Reduced regulation, greater financing options, a wider range of small units made available for rent — we can add hundreds of thousands of homes in Illinois with this creative approach.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Pritzker: The economic opportunity of building new clean power is enormous. So today, I’ve issued an executive order designed to speed up the development of new clean nuclear power so we can increase our electricity supply and secure our energy future.

My goal is to deliver at least two gigawatts of new clean nuclear capacity in our state — enough to power up to two million Illinois homes.

For Illinois households and businesses, expanded supply will make electricity less expensive, more reliable, and cleaner — while creating thousands of jobs and maintaining our state’s status as a net energy exporter.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Pritzker: Junk fees have crept into every aspect of people’s lives —they’re quietly nickel-and-diming Illinois families out of thousands of dollars.

This session, I’m supporting legislation to ban these practices by requiring upfront, full disclosure of all mandatory fees.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Pritzker: Two years ago, we launched our medical debt relief program to unburden working families…

I’m proud to announce that as of this week, we have negotiated the elimination of $1 billion in medical debt for 520,000 Illinoisans across all 102 counties.

Trump: Sometimes, we have to force ourselves upon them

Howard Lutnick’s sister, @edielutnick, was a “Founding Citizen” of TerraMar, the nonprofit organization established and run by Ghislaine Maxwell.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

Jeffrey Epstein was talking about "Lutnick's nanny."

Howard Lutnick is now Trump's Commerce Secretary.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Things seem to be getting personal.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Along with Putin's team, Trump tried to overwhelm Ukraine's envoy in Switzerland with his own crew of his most pro-Russian lackies, including Driscoll at the last minute.

Now Zelensky wants Europe in ASAP, as its clear the US is merely representing the Kremlin.

Incredible the level to which the @GOP is suiciding the remnants of their reputation.

JUST IN: Billionaire Les Wexner has submitted a written statement to the House Oversight Committee ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein.

In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.
