Pappas: It’s a golden age if you’re Don Jr. getting a Russian oligarch to pay for a wedding reception, but for the rest of us, it doesn’t feel like that. They can put out whatever numbers they want. The American people know that this is a totally incompetent president who is estranged from reality.

His mother was detained. Two months later, 21 year old Samuel Gonzalez Terrones was dead. In his final note, he addressed the ICE agent who took her: “I hope it was worth it.” 💔 A federal judge later ordered his mother released after finding her detention unlawful. #SheShed #ICEOut

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
