Despite Trump saying that the $1,776 checks to military workers are "because of tariffs", the funding for the checks will actually come from repurposed military housing assistance.
This housing assistance was approved by Congress as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Ukraine’s future must be decided by Ukrainians—not by an unaccountable real-estate-developer-turned-“special envoy,” and certainly not in a back room with Russia while Ukraine is sidelined.

Back in the 1960s, the Smothers Brothers made fun of President Lyndon Johnson and his policies many times on their popular television show. The president wrote them a letter in response.

The absolute best piece of departmental mail: a delightful book by a brilliant friend. While nothing compares to Marden reciting Pliny on his villa while visiting the Getty, chapters like ‘so your architect blew through your budget: now what (Vitruvius)’ give you a sense of her insightful humor ❤️

It’s been 21 days since Adelita Grijalva won her election, yet Mike Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in.
Why? Because she said she would be the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.
Her constituents deserve a voice in Congress. Swear her in NOW.

‘Who was president in 2020?’ Trump and GOP want you to think it was Biden | CNN Politics
If you asked people what the worst one-year period in recent American history was, it’s a good bet that many would choose roughly between January 2020 and January 2021.
