Trump at CPAC appears to fabricate the 2011 straw poll results, saying he won by "like 27 points."

In reality, he didn't break the top 15.

Trump Foreign Aid Freeze Halts DOJ Overseas Enforcement President Donald Trumpโ€™s foreign aid freeze has suspended Justice Department overseas investigators from pursuing the same targets his administration says it prioritizes as top threats.

"DOJ prosecutors, agents, contractors, and local staff targeting migrant smugglers, tracing the money flows of cartels and fentanyl traffickers, and identifying emerging terrorist threats have been ordered to stand down," my BLaw colleague Ben Penn reports. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Trump's Hostile Government Takeover Is Exactly What He Promised President Donald Trump is using the early days of his term to expand the boundaries of the office โ€” just like he said he would.

Trump is quickly consolidating power and taking over agenciesโ€”which is exactly what he said he'd do. My latest: news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

I asked WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt today whether disabled people have a place in government, and whether Trump supports protections for disabled workers.

Her response: Merit matters, nothing else.

My first full story on the White House beat. Trump and Biden are steadfastly against the Nippon Steel takeover of US Steel, but House Rs aren't sure it's the right move. t.co/bBORMNudAK

For nearly eight years Iโ€™ve covered the working men and women of this country, through Covid, waves of strikes and rampant inflation. You all never ceased to remind me where I come from and why I do what I do. I will continue to report for you. Always.

What's worse: my @americanair.bsky.social flight from DCA catching on fire this morning or getting stuck at Dulles after an emergency landing? Honestly don't know.

Whatโ€™s it like to be nominated for a department your boss says shouldnโ€™t exist? Should be an interesting confirmation hearing.
