That blurred map on Trump's desk appears to be East Potomac Park — the golf course where the trees are being cut. Katie Zacharia may have just handed the federal judge evidence of exactly where the order came from.

Uh oh… could it be? Readers notes undercut the narrative that Dems aren’t supporting progressive candidates. 📌 The DSCC has invested $16 MILL in El-Sayed’s race, and the Senate Majority PAC committed another $30 MILLION. That’s $46 MILLION in Democratic establishment support.

Wow. Seeing Trump struggle to board Marine One, now I get why Trump was obsessed with building a new helipad. Walking on grass is an obstacle for him. See the difference?

How's this for a signal of how things are going: in a Texas CD Trump won in 2024, the Republican candidate is so terrified of being associated with Trump that when the Dem put up a billboard of the two of them together, the R sent a cease-and-desist letter: www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/so...

A Texas Republican Wants a Billboard Featuring Trump's Endorsement to Come Down
A lawyer for Eric Flores, who is running in a competitive House district, sent a cease and desist over a billboard it argues could “cause voter confusion.”

Abbott’s office has overseen tens of millions in grants and over $1.6 billion in tax incentives for Elon Musk’s companies. Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa has framed the election as a fight between everyday Texans and Abbott’s ultrawealthy donors. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Why Elon Musk has so much at stake in Greg Abbott’s reelection bid
The Texas governor has been a big booster for Musk, granting his companies millions in tax breaks. Gina Hinojosa wants to end "corporate welfare."

Hope Texans don’t let Musk buy them. Theodore Schleifer of the New York Times reported today that Musk donated $158 million in September alone to a super PAC that immediately sent $158 million to back Ken Paxton’s campaign to become the next U.S. senator from Texas.

! She commanded the room and effectively reminded the American people of all the great work President Trump and his Administration has done thus far.These Daily Mail stories aren’t just tabloid trash, they’re simply made up. Up and down the White House, everyone has been thoroughly impressed with Katie in just a few short days on the job. At the end of this second term, she’ll be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

The US and the West welcomed Russia into the community of nations after the Cold War. Investment poured in. The G7 turned into G8. The idea that Poland, Estonia, etc. forming their own foreign relations was so unfair to Moscow that Russia is entitled to murder Ukrainians 20 years later is insane.

I am not going to lose sleep over President Desk Naps & Secretary Flopsweat scheming to end American democracy while American voters are organizing & getting to the polls already. They had half a chance to dismantle the Republic. They opted for killing foreign bystanders & Cathedral-hunting instead.

This is the reference. Topo Chico is a Mexican mineral water and kind of a fizzy institution around these parts. Someone on the Talarico team knows who they're talking to.
