During President Trump's first term, the most powerful U.S. law firms represented plaintiffs in about 2.5% immigration lawsuits against the government -- people challenging their detention, their denial of status, etc.

Since Trump took office, those firms' share of the cases dropped to 0.6%.

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

The great rebadging of Teslas — owners embarrassed by Elon Musk and fearful of vandalism replacing the company's logos on their cars with emblems from Honda, Chevy, Mazda, Audi, and others — is picking up speed. When a bumper sticker is not enough:

Lmao he’s bad at this.
President Trump dismisses the growing chorus of CEOs, investors and policymakers who are pleading with the White House for greater clarity about his sweeping tariff agenda.

“They always say that. ‘We want clarity,’” Trump says in a Fox News interview.
Trump rejects pleas from business for more clarity on tariffs: 'They always say that'
Trump’s comments capped off a week marked by unpredictability about both his tariffs and the broader strength of the U.S. economy.

Medicaid cuts will hit people harder than many think. It's going to be a lot of mental health non profits, service providers, hospitals shuttering their doors.

So, you are going to have poor, hopeless people with crises & the only people left to address it will be law enforcement. Disastrous.
