This probably flew under the radar screen (among all the other crap) but again Trump is trying to put his face/name on everything. New passport design unveiled sneakily adds his pic (possibly next-to-last page). Look in top left corner. h/t liveandletsfly.com/new-2028-us-... #avgeek

One has to wonder if they’ve fluffed up the box office numbers by buying tickets but not showing up or giving them away. Much like the political book industry, buying them in bulk and then giving them away as fundraising opportunities.
And as for “Melania”? Despite many expecting for the movie to flop, the truth is it’s done pretty well. Taking upward of $7 million on an opening weekend is quite a feat for a documentary ... or at least it would be, if it wasn’t for the unprecedented size of the budget, the jaw-dropping extent of the rollout and the $35 million PR campaign. Still — lots of MAGA fans are queuing up to see it.

Not that I'm defending them, but it's actually hard to see East Executive Ave from a public vantage point - maybe from top of the W Hotel. But unless Treasury press room reporters have freedom to go over there, it's hard to access that area generally. They closed that pedestrian road ~20+ years ago.

So they gave $4 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and slash SNAP, education, Medicare and Medicaid for millions among other things and suddenly they’re worried about $1.5 trillion to restore and preserve healthcare. This is literally on HUD.gov website front page.
Ridiculous text on the front of hud.gov: The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

It's a former bank building, Union Trust Building, with minimal windows so I think that's less of an issue, but still the fact that the room wasn't cleared out is staggering. It isn't his old hotel where they could have greater control of the site. Maybe they did screen everyone, but clearly missed.

Uh, well the lawyers who rep the Guatemalan children who were nearly deported last weekend told the judge they fear DHS will again attempt to deport children this weekend, unclear what nationality. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
On September 4, at 3:53 pm, counsel for Defendants contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel by email requesting consent to a one-day extension of time.  In response, Plaintiffs’ counsel stated that “We are inclined to consent to your extension request, premised on a commensurate extension for the replies to preserve our allotted time. We have become concerned, however, about reports that the administration may be planning events mirroring those of last weekend but targeting other unaccompanied children. We are hoping to avoid the necessity of another quick-turn weekend TRO. We believe the briefing schedule would, at minimum, need to be adjusted were such events to unfold.  We request that you confirm that your clients do not plan to imminently seek to deport or repatriate unaccompanied children, of other-than Guatemalan nationality, in the custody of ORR during the pendency of the weekend. With that modest agreement in place, we will agree to your request.”  Defendants refused to consent to that modest request.

The kids have been deplaned thank goodness. Filed a minute before the deadline.
STATUS REPORT AND RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Defendants hereby provide notice that all of the class members that were on
planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR
custody. Defendants will provide an additional update once that transfer to ORR
custody has been completed and confirmed, which Defendants expect will occur
today.
Because Defendants had not yet entered an appearance, they had not received
notice of this Court’s order requiring a status report by 4:00pm and thus were not
aware of it. Defendants have now entered an appearance and will respond to any
additional court orders.
Respectfully submitted this August 31, 2025.

And there were 16 days in early 2025 too without any federalization of our city. They can GFT.
While signing executive orders at the White House on Aug. 25, President Donald Trump wrongly said that an 11-day span of no homicides in Washington, D.C., was the “first time that’s taken place in years,” a claim reiterated by other members of the administration who credited Trump’s federal takeover of the district’s law enforcement.

An 11-day stretch with zero murders is rare in the city, but there was a 16-day period with no murders earlier this year, from Feb. 25 to March 12, according to Metropolitan Police Department data.

It’s never what the person did - it’s what the person did to Trump.
EPSTEIN SAGA LATEST: Even halfway around the world, Trump hasn’t escaped questions about the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed Washington in recent weeks. Asked at his Scotland presser about an incident where Trump reportedly threw the late financier out of Mar-a-Lago, he told reporters: “For years I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said ‘Don't ever do that again.’ He stole people that worked for me and I said ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ And he did it again and I threw him out of the place … and that was it. I’m glad I did.”

For the last decade or so, Republicans have complained that Democrats wanted to tax the rich to redistribute their wealth to the poor. Now Republicans are literally taking from the poor - and middle class - to give to the rich with their #BigBadBill.

Garcia's lawyers already replied - crux of it is he's there at behest of US govt under contract of the US govt & wouldn't be there for any other reason + El Salvadoran govt isn't seeking him. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Jeremy Pelofsky @dcscribe.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
The lawyers for Garcia already replied, it's in the docket & boils down to this: US sent him there under a contract to be detained on behalf of the US. Garcia isn't sought by El Salvadoran gov't (until they try to change that) & that is only reason he's there. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

So let’s break this down to its simplest form - a sexual assault survivor is being bullied (by an adjudicated sexual assaulter no less) to accept a sexual assaulter to lead the US Defense Dept (also notoriously rife with sexual assault). Unconscionable.
