Fraud and abuse. On top of sheer incompetence. And ruination of our national treasures.
Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

NEWS: @kenyanmcduffie is conceding to @Janeese4DC in the D.C. mayoral primary election. He was down 16 points on Tuesday night with ballots left to count, but it seemed increasingly unlikely that he would close that gap.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. It does not have to be like this. propublica.org/article/snap-…

Washington, DC joins Atlanta and Baltimore as major cities to elect consecutive Black women mayors. With Janeese Lewis George to succeed Muriel Bowser, DC is poised to be run by Black women for 16 consecutive years. ✊🏾

Lawrence mocked “grim faced” Rubio as he watched trump’s stupidity sink his presidential hopes: “trump&Rubio have spent years lying about Obama’s deal w/Iran. Now they’ve proved two things—how strong the Obama deal was&what relentlessly incompetent losers Rubio&trump really are.”

Vance: The Obama nuclear deal allowed enrichment. Ours won't. The Obama deal gave them a billion dollars of American money. This gives them zero dollars of American money.

Still waiting to see whether this Supreme Court tries to substitute its views for those set forth in our Constitution.
The Supreme Court is preparing to issue final rulings on birthright citizenship, gun rights and more this month. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

When both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal call out Trump’s Iran deal as a U.S. defeat, that’s telling.

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.
The US and Iran are expected to formally sign a memorandum of understanding on June 19 in Switzerland, paving the way for 60 days of talks aimed at ending their war for good and putting strict new limits on Iran’s nuclear program bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget.

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike. America First.

"The President may not ignore statutory mandates." Federal Judge Richard Mark Gergel didn't mince words when he legally forced the EPA to restore $2.8 BILLION in climate grants the regime tried to quietly erase. Read the historic ruling: 👇 dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-re…

Use all the zeroes: $300,000,000,000.
With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights. It’s called habeas corpus. Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old. It’s older than America itself. And Miller tried to kill it. New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.” Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway. Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it? The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone. I will fight this with everything I have. The Constitution is not optional. Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone. nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/po…

DOE Sec. Chris Wright said that his agency did not aim to punish states that Trump lost the 2024 election in when it canceled clean energy projects in them. BUT his lawyers said otherwise—causing a judge to order the grants be restored. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Not since the 1800s have we witnessed this kind of assault on Black political power, representation, and economic stability—right out in the open under the Trump administration. They’re firing qualified African-Americans, targeting Black leaders, freezing military promotions, and stripping contracts from Black businesses.

'DOGE' was never about efficiency. They want to steal your data and slash your benefits. That's what Trump, Musk, and the billionaires are demanding.   Social Security is an EARNED BENEFIT that YOU paid for. It doesn't belong to Elon Musk or any of his buddies on Wall Street.
