A top Pentagon official said Tuesday that special operations forces do not have the authority to launch drone attacks at drug cartels in Mexico, even though President Donald Trump has designated them foreign terrorist organizations.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cutting Social Security staff, closing offices, and shutting off vital phone services. One field office worker called it a "house of cards that's about to collapse." This attack is hurting Americans everywhere. We will keep fighting back.

Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the U.S. military representative to the NATO Military Committee, has been fired.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

Some truly evil stuff

it’s like we’re being governed by an email that starts with FW: FW: FW: FW

Trump announced tariffs last week. Since then: - The market crashed—the worst sell-off since 2020 - The maker of Jeeps & Ram trucks laid off 900 U.S. workers - J.P. Morgan predicts there's a 60% chance of a global recession - Trump’s tariffs could cost the average American household $3,800 a year

The deadly strike burned some media workers alive, days after a report found more journalists have been killed in Gaza's crisis than in most major wars combined.

While Americans faced market chaos, deadly storms, & tragic military losses, Trump golfed & declared himself the winner of his own tourney. We break down plus the latest in Gaza, the Supreme Court & more on the MeidasTouch Podcast. Watch at 8p ET/5p PT!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has lifted the court order blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.

🚨 NEW: Trump just repealed the ATF’s zero tolerance policy, putting reckless gun dealers who knowingly sold to traffickers and criminals back in business. Trump doesn’t care about our safety. He cares about helping his gun CEO friends profit off of violence in our communities.

What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

Hosting PM, Trump announces direct nuke talks with Iran; Tehran: Indirect dialog only https://www.timesofisrael.com/hosting-pm-trump-announces-direct-nuke-talks-with-iran-tehran-indirect-dialog-only/

Trump and Elon Musk's mass layoffs are holding up... life-saving cancer research. This is the opposite of efficient.

SCOTUS says due process applies to deportees, but overturns TRO for filing wrong claim in wrong venue. It’s like calling the fire station to report your house is on fire only to have them say you called the wrong station and need to start over.

Nearly 150 international students have had their visas revoked by the Trump administration. Many weren’t given a reason.

Sound up! This is amazing!!

For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol. So they held their very own! 57 of them came out! Aged 67-104! They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them! They had s sign making day before the event! They sent this video to me to share.🥰

Trump is ordering a nearly $100 million military parade for his birthday. My latest for @votevets.org on his wildly stupid idea. Be sure to hit that subscribe button! youtu.be/0-E5eI_2G3I?...

I have so many mixed feelings saying this…but…Kennedy is right.

The AHA has released a statement condemning the evisceration of the National Endowment for the Humanities. “This frontal attack on the nation’s public culture is unpatriotic, anti-American, and unjustified.” 🗃️

"Capus said that Russian clients were now getting a red TV screen with a sign: 'We regret to inform you that US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) has decided to terminate the distribution of Current Time'..." www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

"The Trump administration decided the president’s massively expensive ad campaign thanking himself for his anti-immigrant crackdown should be exempt from DOGE’s 'cost efficiency' review." See how this works?

The only people worse than Trump are his lackeys and apologists.

This is Elon Musk‘s former business partner, Dr. Philip Low. He says that Musk’s real intent with DOGE is to defund organizations that regulate HIS companies. When asked about Elon’s claim that his goal is to help American taxpayers, Philip responded by saying that’s BULLSHIT. - 60 Minutes Australia

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

During Trump’s first term, the massive price tag for a parade through Washington put him off. Not this time.

It’s incoherent. And it’s driving up costs for working families.

“It's still unclear whether the company — which reported a staggering $400 million loss in 2024, while only netting a pitiful $3.6 million revenue — will realize the mass sale of millions of shares. But even just the suggestion appears to have spooked investors.” futurism.com/truth-social...

As I wrote last night, in her opinion, Judge Xinis was careful to point out the government's evidence Abrego Garcia belongs to MS-13 was so weak as to be nonexistant. More here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
