A model of President Trump's proposed triumphal arch to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary was seen on the Resolute Desk as the president held a press conference in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

When asked on Wednesday who the arc is for, Trump told CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe: β€œMe.”

I know we say this all the time so it’s become cliche, but can you imagine the hysteria that would be happening right now with Republicans if Obama did the exact same thing to the inside and outside of the WH that Trump is doing? It would be 24/7 on Fox for months. We all know why.

How China weaponized soybeans to squeeze U.S. farmers β€” and spite Trump China, the world’s biggest importer of soybeans, has stopped buying U.S. crops to put pressure on Trump ahead of his trade-focused meeting with Xi Jinping.

September is usually when China, the world’s biggest importer of soybeans, puts in orders to the farms in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana.

For the first time since 2018, however, Chinese importers aren’t buying due to President Trump’s tariffs.

Today, millions of Americans sent a message to the Trump regime.

We are not scared.

We will keep fighting.

We will organize, we will mobilize, and we will resistβ€”over and over againβ€”until this corrupt wannabe authoritarian regime is removed from power.

Because in America, we have No Kings.

Trump Administration Plans Deep Cuts to Social Security Disability Insurance, Particularly for Older Workers Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Administration is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security...

🚨The rule is likely to be the largest-ever cut to Social Security Disability Insurance.
🚨The rule would particularly hurt older workers.
🚨The rule will likely cause disproportionate harm to people living in the South and Appalachia.

The only way a man can ever find the truth is by having the courage to ask the question. And today, I am asking you respectfully, earnestly, and directly for your understanding and compassion.

Not long ago, you sat down with Rob Finnerty on Newsmax. During that interview, you were asked about me β€” about whether you might ever consider granting clemency in my case. You responded with the honesty and candor that have always defined you, Sir. As I listened, I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey we’ve shared in this great movement you began the day you came down that golden escalator in Trump Tower.

From that very moment, I was all in. A lifelong Republican and a proud believer in your America First vision, I never wavered. Supporting you wasn’t just a political decision β€” it was personal. It was rooted in my conviction that you were the only leader who truly put this nation, and her people, first.

During my short tenure in Congress, I stood firmly behind your agenda β€” 100% of the time. I championed policies that strengthened our economy, defended our borders, and restored America’s standing on the world stage. I did it proudly, Sir, because I believed β€” and still believe β€” in the mission you set out to accomplish for the American people.

Today, I find myself in a place I never imagined I would be. Since August 28, 2025, I have been held in complete isolation inside the Special Housing Unit β€” what most know as β€œthe SHU.” I was placed here, I’m told, due to an alleged death threat brought to light by investigative reporters from Project Veritas.

Life in SHU is unlike anything most Americans could ever comprehend. I am locked inside a small steel cage twenty-four hours a day. My only contact with the outside world is a brief phone call to my family β€” once every thirty days. While they are unaware of the full reality of my situation, what weighs most heavily on my heart is my inability to protect them, to comfort them, or even to assure them that I am safe.

The facility has informed me that I will remain in this state of solitary confinement until the FBI’s investigation concludes β€” whenever that may be. Until then, I exist in limbo, caught between uncertainty and silence.

Mr. President, I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for fairness β€” for the chance to rebuild. I know I have made mistakes in my past. I have faced my share of consequences, and I take full responsibility for my actions. But no man, no matter his flaws, deserves to be lost in the system, forgotten and unseen, enduring punishment far beyond what justice requires.

Sir, I appeal to your sense of justice and humanity β€” the same qualities that have inspired millions of Americans to believe in you. I humbly ask that you consider the unusual pain and hardship of this environment and allow me the opportunity to return to my family, my friends, and my community. I want nothing more than to begin again β€” to contribute, to serve, and to rebuild my life from the ashes of my past.

Mr. President, I have nowhere else to turn. You have always been a man of second chances, a leader who believes in redemption and renewal. I am asking you now, from the depths of my heart, to extend that same belief to me.

With the deepest respect and gratitude,I thank you for taking the time to hear my plea.

Truly yours,George Santos

Former Congressman, New York’s 3rd District

Wow I didn’t realize Santos published an open letter to Trump in some long island right wing rag just this past Monday.
