Reporter: The president posted an AI deepfake of himself talking about medbeds. What was he trying to communicate?
Leavitt: He is transparent. He likes to share memes and videos. I think it is refreshing to have a president who is so open and honest.

The ~700k people of DC:
—Pay more fed tax per capita than people of any state;
—Are more numerous than pop of WY or VT;
—Have zero votes in US House or Senate;
—Now being told by House GOP that we can't spend *OUR OWN* tax money, which we've already paid

House Republicans created a disaster for D.C. with the CR — restricting the District's ability to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more.
My bill with Senator Collins to fix this passed unanimously in the Senate. House Republicans need to pass it NOW.

The ridiculous Pamela Jo Bondi claims that fentanyl seizures since Trump retook office have saved 258 million lives (the US only has a total population of 340 million.)
The *truth* is that from Jan 2025 (Biden) to February 2025 (Trump), fentanyl seizures were DOWN 41%.

Videos circulating online show immigrants being forcibly taken by ICE—it’s becoming nearly impossible to distinguish the so-called “terrorists” from the ones hunting them. This isn’t national security—it’s state-funded intimidation, fear, and brutality.

The truth is, DOGE was never about making government more efficient. It was about taking control of it from the inside. What happened at the NLRB is not an isolated incident—it’s a warning of what happens when billionaires are handed unchecked power inside public institutions.

Not sure if Trump knows this but he can say he won "in a landslide" 20 times or 20 million times and it'll still be one of the narrowest victories in modern US history (1.4%)
