Nearly all of them voted to scale up Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Some are quietly working to protect select immigrants from it. House Republicans are grappling with the administration’s hardline enforcement policies playing out in their districts: notus.org/immigration/re…
New from me today:
More than 140 pages of internal agency emails and records obtained by NOTUS detailed how the U.S. Geological Survey ignored an avalanche of media inquiries after Trump’s “Gulf of America” announcement. notus.org/donald-trump/g…
Don't expect much out of Washington as the House prepares to go on summer recess. Also, is President Trump trying to distract from the "Epstein files" dilemma? Washington insider @DaveLevinthal has the latest from the nation's capital. audacy.com/podcast/a-new-…

New: Today we're sharing a story from the Democrat & Chronicle, detailing the surveillance network between NY & Canada. As Trump looks to harden the border, the surveillance network could be upgraded. Migrants, however, are unlikely to be deterred. investigativepost.org/2025/07/22/sur…

I think too many people are over-estimating the role Trump has in making a deal to get the Commanders a new stadium in D.C. The land’s lease is held by D.C., the deal is before the D.C. Council, and federal law prohibits any federal funds being spent on a stadium.
President Donald Trump is doubling down. He says he won’t make a deal for the team to build a new stadium if they don’t change their name back to the Washington Redskins. Buckle up.
Every president wants lower interest rates – they keep voters happy. It’s the Fed’s job to ignore that. But financial markets may have already accepted where this is heading. Here‘s what it means for the travel industry: hubs.li/Q03x-d_f0
