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!

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.

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

It's now a judicial finding by a GWB appointee that the Trump DOJ has a "well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President's political and personal adversaries."

Huge opportunity! Proudly tagging @tws_pk2 for this takeover. They do the heaviest lifting in a country where animal welfare gets zero support. Let’s bring global eyes to their incredible resilience and mission! ✊✨🐕

We’ve been extremely busy with many ups and downs the past 24hrs.
Before we get to the sad news let’s go with the brilliant news.
Yesterday Lupita left with a fabulous family here in Spain ❤️
She is such a scared girl but when she met her new siblings and her mum and dad it was like it was meant to be.
She strutted off as if she didn’t have a worry in the world.
Thank you to her family for choosing a scared one and to Rosa for all the hard work she put in yesterday.
It wasn’t just Lupita that left locally… another three also!
Have a wonderful life together. More to come 🩷

This is Nolan. His humans have kissed all the color off of his face over the last ten years. Some seniors are silver foxes, he is a silver sweetie pie. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Two men, including one whose life sentence was commuted by then-South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, have been charged in the death of a 14-year-old girl whose body was found in a rural area.. https://t.co/EqkVAgrrDX

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

2 years ago I was on TV with a Nikki Haley Donor who said he'd be for Trump in the general because of Biden's "unforgivable appeasement of Iran" and the "separation of the US from Israel."

If anyone can track him down for me I'd like to get an update our chat.

Gangel: In March, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan go to the oval office for a formal sit down interview with the president. He's very proud about some presidential historian has given him this document, which he says shows he's more powerful than Hitler and Stalin. 

He's proudly reading it and showing it to them, and they can't figure out who the presidential historian is. And they start searching. Name doesn't show up. But the president had said that this historian was a friend of former hall of fame golfer Gary Player. So they search…the historian is Gary Player's former caddie.

NYT: A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas weeks after Defense Secretary Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.

Incredible community on Trump and the White House

here's Barack Obama's entire speech commemorating the Obama Presidential Center. He reflected on his administration's successes and failures, critiqued the moral rot of contemporary America, and outlined a positive vision of the future -- all without ever mentioning Trump
