BOOM! U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan has ORDERED Trump's Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to produce all Epstein documents as required under the law by July 2nd.

He's got ONE WEEK to comply, as the judge stated that he will NOT issue a stay. 💪

BREAKING: South Dakota Republicans are moving to censure U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R) for being "at odds with President Donald Trump" by failing to pass the SAVE America Act.

The move underscores just how much of a priority the anti-voting bill has become to the GOP.

BREAKING: Obama just PERFECTLY diagnosed Trump's bizarre obsession with him — and it's a brutal indictment of Dementia Donnie’s presidency.

Barack Obama just put words to something millions of Americans have noticed for nearly a decade: Donald Trump is utterly, pathologically OBSESSED with him, and Obama explained exactly why that should terrify anyone who cares about the country.

Speaking on the "All The Smoke" podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Obama was asked about Trump's fixation. His response was as cool as it was devastating.

"I obviously have a room in his head," Obama said, as the hosts jumped in: "Rent free."

"A SUITE in his head," Obama corrected, drawing laughs.

But then he turned serious — and landed the real blow. Obama explained that when YOU'RE actually doing the job of president, you simply don't have time to obsess over anyone else.

"When I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said or what my predecessor did. They're gone. I've got work to do."

He continued: "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right, every day you've got five, ten things that are real hard and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about somebody who came before me, trying to measure what's he done today — constantly worried about that is a strange thing to me."

Then came the kicker that cuts straight to the heart of Trump's entire presidency: "It shows me somebody who's NOT focused on the American people."

That's the whole thing right there. While Americans struggle with $6 gas, soaring grocery prices, a war nobody wanted, and healthcare being stripped away to fund billionaire tax cuts — Trump is on Truth Social at 2am ranting about Obama, posting fake videos, and stewing over a man who left office nearly a decade ago.

Obama is living rent-free in a beachfront SUITE in Trump's head. And every minute Trump spends there is a minute he's NOT spending on the people who actually need a president working for them.

Focused leaders don't obsess. They WORK for the citizens of this country. The only work Donald Trump does at this point is focused on his own enrichment.

Please like and share if you wish Obama could be president again!

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Damn. @RepTedLieu just outright said it.

Yesterday, a STAT News item about an unnamed "79-year-old" patient receiving a new drug went viral, being as it was published just after Trump's 80th birthday party.

Lieu, who is not shy about challenging Trump in plain terms — and who ought to be an example for his colleagues on that front — questioned why the President decided to hold bipartisan housing legislation hostage in an ongoing attempt to rig the midterms.

"When Donald Trump decides he's not coming to sign the bill, well, why is that? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is he unable to stay awake today? What's causing him to chicken out again? Is it TACO Wednesday, or is it side effects from a drug?" Lieu asked, but he was far from done with the topic.

After referencing Trump's increasingly erratic and reckless behavior, he continued.

"He has trouble staying awake at multiple White House events and cabinet meetings, he has clearly some weakness in one of his arms, he's got swelling in his hands, and the White House needs to come clean.

"[There was a] report saying that one person in America got this special new drug. It was a 79-year-old person who's very high profile, and this drug can only be given to someone under the compassionate use provision, meaning you do that if someone basically has a terminal illness," Lieu continued.

More Democrats need to be as bold and truthful as Rep. Lieu.

This is a Jenga block tower of gargantuan coverups, and we appear to be watching it slowly collapse.

Good. Keep pulling, America.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

A rare bipartisan victory. A rare example of this Republican-led Congress being able to tout a tangible achievement on lowering costs, a high-salience issue on which voters give Trump low marks… And Trump distances himself from the bill and diminishes its importance.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump is refusing to sign a bipartisan bill that would address the housing crisis unless the SAVE America Act (designed to rig elections) is passed.

This isn't governing, it's a hostage situation. Republican, Dem, or Independent this should piss you off.

[Eleanor Mueller @Eleanor_Mueller]

To be clear: Trump has no leverage here. If he doesn’t sign the housing bill within 10 days, it becomes law automatically. If, before then, he vetoes, Congress has the votes to override.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Trump is now refusing to sign a bipartisan bill that would increase housing supply and prevent institutional investors from buying up residential homes.

[Acyn @Acyn]

PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?

Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.

Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.

And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.

We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.

You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.

Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

We feared that Bill Pulte would do nothing but damage to our national security. And now that fear is realized, as he makes massive cuts to the counter-terrorism workforce.

What could possibly go wrong?
