WSJ: US budget deficit hits $2 Trillion. GOP slashed federal workforce, curtailed clean-energy tax breaks, let some healthcare subsidies expire and lowered food-stamp enrollment. But increase spending on ICE and Iran war. Hey, Elon: DOGE was a bust.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Do photos show gold statue of naked Trump at European Parliament?
The sculpture, titled "The Orange Plague," was previously on display at the U.N. Climate Summit in Brazil.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

A Virginia mother was detained by ICE after she was unable to immediately recite her Social Security number during a traffic stop, despite reportedly presenting identification and immigration documents. Her teenage daughter recorded the encounter and said goons became aggressive.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."
