Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

"We didn't mean to go to war, but now that we're in it, we're going to double down." We are truly doomed if Republicans don't step up.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Close icon Sen. John Fetterman pushed back on Democrats who have expressed frustration with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to vote to avert a government shutdown.

This video says more about Fetterman than it does House Democrats! He lied to progressives in PA to get their support and completely stabbed them in the back.

Is this a new tariff day or a tariff pause day?

It’s tough to keep up.

Trump meets with CEOs at Business Roundtable as market sell-off continues Trump, a major proponent of tariffs, told the room full of business leaders that the duties he has already imposed are having a "tremendously positive impact."

When will Wall Street wake up and realize THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES! Where is the outrage at his stupidity?

Elon Musk Seeks to Put $100 Million Into Trump Political Operation Elon Musk has signaled he wants to make some donations not just to his own super PAC, which is called America PAC and has spent heavily on President Trump in the past, but to an outside entity.

It was a $100 million Tesla infomercial. #Corrupt #Fraud #Scam

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Murkowski rebukes Trump over Ukraine: β€˜Walking away from our allies’ The Alaska senator’s statement was a rare note of dissent from a Republican.

Murkowski can't even call out Trump/Vance by name! "I am sick to my stomach as the administration..."

Even when the GOP has a spine, they still fail on so many levels!

β€œI told him this morning, don’t take the bait, don’t let the media or anybody else get you into an argument with President Trump,” he said, adding, β€œZelensky is going to have to fundamentally change or go.”

Spineless Lindsey Graham has this to say, via NYT: "Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News that President Zelensky should use his scheduled interview with host Bret Baier to apologize and tell the world that he β€œscrewed up big time.”

@fetterman.senate.gov Any thoughts to share on the disgraceful meeting Trump/Vance just had with Zelenskyy??

Zelenskyy just posted on his own social media, thanking Trump and America for their past support. It's tragic that he has to do this after the Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate him.
