Trump announces his golden ballroom may now cost $400 million, which is double the original estimate of $200 million.
This comes as Americans’ health care premiums are set to triple in the next few weeks.

Thinking a lot these days of Hannah Arendt’s notion of the “banality of evil”:
Some of the greatest evils done in the world are committed by dull, ordinary people with little or no ill-intent but who are enmeshed within a heartless, inhumane bureaucratic machine.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.
