Donald Trump, a man who is famously focused on the topic at hand
Trump on Epstein files: I'm focused on making deals and not conspiracy theories that you are. I watch you people, it is so sad. Talk about the success of our country instead of this nonsense you talk about over and over.
NEW: In a sign of what could be in store for other targets of Trump & his allies, Media Matters (@mmfa) is struggling to survive. The Dem-aligned group has racked up $15m in legal bills, dialed back its criticism of Trump & Musk & contemplated closing. nytimes.com/2025/07/25/us/…
After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…

Evers is 73, and many in-state and national Dems wanted him to run for reelection anyway. Generational change is pretty likely here: Other statewide Dems are 49, 44, 43 and 47 years old.
BREAKING: Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers announces he will not seek a third term, retiring from statewide elected office after nearly two decades and five decades in public positions.
NEW: Sen. Angus King admits he made "a mistake" when he voted Tuesday to confirm Josh Divine, an 35-year-old archconservative with a long record of attacking abortion rights, to a lifetime federal judgeship. “I took Josh Hawley’s advice." huffpost.com/entry/angus-ki… w/ @igorbobic
Why did Angus King just help Republicans confirm a very anti-abortion judicial nominee, Josh Divine, to a lifetime court seat? huffpost.com/entry/angus-ki…
NEW: I interviewed Mahmoud Khalil in DC -"Change is happening [in US policy+politics on Israel-Palestine] although they are trying to distract us" -he seeks end to US "complicity" in Gaza & accountability from Trump+Columbia -"Biden was as bad as Trump is" huffpost.com/entry/mahmoud-…
Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files on.wsj.com/4mcTIKV
.@NRCC messaging on Mamdani-Jeffries seems to be throwing spaghetti at the wall. Release #1 claims "Zohran and Hakeem are joined at the hip." Release #2 says "Jeffries is too weak to even win over the Democrat nominee for his own city."
who could blame the Utah senator? These fakers really nailed the seal of the "Elerebal Reserve Oedo of Goveryaeb"
Lee just now re why he posted it: “There appeared to be one, and it occurred to me seconds after I posted it that I hadn’t seen it anywhere else, so I deleted it out of an abundance of caution. I don’t know whether it’s legit or not.”
Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon Watch starts now.
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
wow i didn't know DHS could afford to hire quentin tarantino
Welcome to the Golden Age of Travel!
He returned from his trip on the 14th of June. Went to camp David on the 20th and the debate was on the 27th. How much Ambien did they give him?
Hunter Biden suggest former President Biden’s disastrous debate performance was due to Ambien “I’ll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world basically … He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as shit. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep.…
The lease the federal government signed with D.C. can’t be undone because the president doesn’t like the team name. (Well, at least not if the law is followed.) The only way to block the deal would be through Congress, which is urging D.C. to speed the approval of said deal.
Trump says he may block the deal to move the Commanders back to DC unless they re-adopt a racist team name
I wrote about what it was like growing up as a child in the Bosnian civil war, where food was extremely scarce. I didn't have much, but at least UNICEF was there to help keep me alive. Congress just defunded it, putting lives at risk around the world. huffpost.com/entry/trump-cu…
with gerrymandering and the house capped at 435, we don't really have communities represented in congress. if the house were, say, 800 seats you have an "arab" seat in michigan, more republicans from new york city, a dem seat in utah, it would be more small-d democratic
