Trump says he was surprised that Jerome Powell, the Fed chair he appointed, was appointed
The president seemed to forget that he appointed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which was part of an unsettling pattern of cognitive missteps.

The government’s response to Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit-which seeks to prevent Trump from using military troops against protesters in Los Angeles
Claims that such intervention is necessary to stop a “rebellion”
If the Supreme Court lets him get away with this, it’ll be the end of the First Amendment

The Trump administration’s decision to impose a far-reaching freeze on U.S. foreign aid programs has thrust humanitarian and development organizations into crisis, prompting the layoff or furloughing of thousands of workers and mass panic as aid groups warn they may have to shut down.

Trump made an impulsive decision to open 2 major dams in Central Valley in order to aid in firefighting, but his lack of follow through resulted in zero aid, AND it screwed over farmers, potentially causing water and food insecurity this following summer... Please read the article for details.

Why is every headline about Musk's seig heil in question form? "Was it a nazi salute?" "Did he really..?" THERE IS NO QUESTION. From a man who is intimately familiar with the third reich based on his twitter history, this is no accidental gesture. Media is gutless, complicit, and pathetic. #Elonmusk

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
