Today in Politics, Bulletin 141. It was a crazy busy news day and this one is packed so buckle up! Here is everything that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

I lost count, how many trade deals did Trump make this week?

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

I’m not sure I’ve seen corruption in this country quite so blatant as two of President Trump’s latest schemes: his memecoin dinner and the government's plan to accept a $400 million Qatari jet. Unless someone stops him, the corruption will just get more brazen.

Tonight, President Trump is hosting an “intimate” private dinner for the top holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. It’s an unprecedented pay-to play stunt and one of the most corrupt events we’ve ever seen. Here’s what you need to know: 🧵

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

In Noem’s defense, she doesn’t know a lot of words. After “shoot” and “puppy,” “suck,” and “it,” there are not many left, so she tries to get as much use of them as possible. apple.news/AUQBv5jzcRMS...

Buried deep in the text of the more than 1,000-page bill is a measure to restrict the federal courts’ authority to hold officials in contempt if they violate court orders.

"Is that it?" -- Trump did that thing again today where he signs a bunch of executive orders but doesn't seem to know what he's signing and needs to have it explained to him

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

We have trash in the White House, so why not?

“I don’t think that those who have gone through West Point expected to have their commander in chief address them and start talking about trophy wives." “It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity." Watch/Read ⤵️

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

He got into Wharton as a transfer student, but—according to his sister!—only after paying someone to take the SAT for him. wapo.st/3F9jVKH

Reuters: EXCLUSIVE-SUBARU OF AMERICA TO RAISE PRICES IN RESPONSE TO "CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS" - COMPANY

Rep. Jamie Raskin is urging the DOJ Inspector General to investigate whether Pam Bondi or other officials "engaged in illegal insider trading" ahead of Trump's tariff announcement, following reports Bondi sold millions worth of shares in Trump Media on the eve of a market crash. tinyurl.com/3a69ra9c

Big upset: Omaha just elected the Democratic-aligned candidate, John Ewing, to be its next mayor. The current mayor, a three-term incumbent Republican, has already conceded.

Trump is now praising the new president of Syria, saying he's a "young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong lady. Very strong lady. Fighter."
