Reporter at @nytimes. I used to cover elections. Now I only write about you if you're dead (and don't mind that you don't return calls).
Buried in amendments to the Interior Dept. Gov funding bill, is a stipulation that the Kennedy Center Opera House must be renamed the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House' in order to receive federal funds. The Appropriations Committee adopted that amendment by a vote of 33-25.

This is a lie. And if he's confused, the President should ask @SecRubio, who helped lead the bipartisan Senate investigation that unanimously concluded that there was no evidence of politicization in the intelligence community's behavior around the 2016 election.
Trump declares that Obama is guilty of treason: Barack Hussain Obama, have you heard of him? He is guilty. It’s not a question. This was treason.
A GOP senator not being able to spot a fake, loaded with typos... good stuff here
The typo ridden letter has now been deleted by both Benny Johnson and Senator Mike Lee
President Donald Trump’s Labor Department secretary said “those making less than $50,000 receive the largest cuts” under Trump’s new tax law. The data is cherry-picked; nonpartisan analyses show the opposite. buff.ly/z7E2fFP
JUST IN: President Obama's office responds to Trump's comments.
President Trump is attempting to shift the public’s focus away from the building crisis around the release of sealed documents detailing the Jeffrey Epstein case by urging his Justice Department to go after former President Obama. ow.ly/6Z2J50Wtv7b
AWFUL scenario. Border Patrol agents raided a car wash and arrested a DACA recipient working there. He has a REAL ID, but they didn't even let him show his ID, they just grabbed him and threw him in a van. He was then detained for a MONTH before getting bond.
This is a terrifying case. DHS did not recognize DACA as a protective status, & proceeded to arrest & detain Diaz. With the massive increase in enforcement that is about to start, are DACA recipients also enforcement targets? latimes.com/california/sto…
To be clear: not one word of this is true.
Trump: "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, Comey, Clapper. They tried to rig an election and they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020. And then because I knew I won that election by a…

Will Trump lose his base over the Epstein scandal? “They always find a way to blame everybody but him,” says @DavidMDrucker x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Note that Trump just posted docs plainly given to him by admin agencies as part of his directive that DOJ prosecute Schiff. This is an open flaunting of the use of agencies to gin up pretexts for prosecuting enemies. Who fed Trump these docs? News orgs should answer this Q.
Trump just said Schiff merits "prison" for the "fraud" an IG supposedly found. Again, I talked to experts/former IG who described the process used here as deeply troubling. This is his model for manipulating bureaucracy to hatch pretexts to target foes: newrepublic.com/article/198074…

.@RepMTG says she skeptical of anything Maxwell has to say because “she could be bartering for something.”
Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney David Oscar Markus tells CNN, “I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”
Another sure sign that the fix is in. Attorney for convicted sex trafficker of minors, Ghislaine Maxwell: "We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case." And says they're already in discussions with the administration.
Next acts of the drama: 1) Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell 2) Maxwell affirms Trump's version of events 3) MAGA is astonished and offended that non-MAGA suspects a quid pro quo
Here is Senator Dr. Roger Marshall’s now-deleted tweet when the Panasonic plant was announced. You can’t just lie!
I’ve said from the beginning that this was going to be a boondoggle. EVs (especially the batteries) are terrible for the environment and are not economically viable without government giveaways. This plant will only result in higher utility costs for Kansans, and a huge bill…
