Trump wants the Supreme Court to rule that DHS can imprison-indefinitely-immigrants who enter the US illegally He wants ICE to arrest millions of migrants and keep them incarcerated-maybe for years-until they can be deported Even if they have legal status In violation of their due process rights

Impeaching Trump after winning in Nov is pointless exercise unless voters deliver a near Senate supermajority. Republicans didn't convict for sedition. They support treason & espionage. Better plan is impeach & conviction of his cabinet. Expose his failures. Tie up WH resources. Drive him over edge

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.”

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.
