TAPPER: Earlier today - this isn't the first time - Trump appeared to be struggling to keep eyes open. Does that worry you?
REINER: It's jarring to see him go from basically asleep in the Oval to this rapid fire pace during a 30-minute speech he gave in 18. There's been a lot of health issues.

Something extraordinary and deeply humiliating is happening to the United States.
Canadians aren’t just skipping trips they’re quietly boycotting America.
In 2025, travel from Canada 🇨🇦 to the U.S. fell 40%.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

Thank you, Margaret Cho, for standing up for trans people with clarity and courage. At a moment when RFK Jr. is spreading dangerous misinformation, you chose truth and humanity. Trans rights are human rights and your voice matters when it’s used to protect, not harm.

Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

Trump signed an executive order to prevent states from regulating AI.
He is stopping states from protecting you from unfair consumer practices like AI-fueled price gouging and data centers that are raising electricity costs.
Who does this benefit other than Big Tech executives?
