My Conversation with Andy Kim and Katie Phang on the Gateway Project Trump’s move to “terminate” this project shows what happens when a leader’s top priority is not safety or jobs - but political revenge.

Trump’s move to “terminate” the Gateway Project is classic “mob boss” politics – using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process.

Watch my full conversation with @kim.senate.gov and @katiephang.bsky.social about what this means for commuters, jobs, and safety.

Trump has pardoned the king of crypto; One of Trump’s most blatantly corrupt acts yet. Join us LIVE on Substack at 3:30p ET: open.substack.com/live-stream/... #Crypto #ChangpengZhao

That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Former WH historian Ed Lengel, a self-described conservative, says Trump is “smacking the founders in the face” with his demolition of the East Wing for a ballroom and that Jefferson would have gone “ballistically insane” over the project. www.youtube.com/live/yZa00O0...

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse. Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one." Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago. And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

Coming up in a bit, I’ll speak with @harryjsisson.bsky.social - the influencer who appears in Trump’s disgusting AI video. Harry has a great clap-back to Trump. Plus @tommyxtopher.bsky.social talks about his exclusive with Hunter Biden. See you at 4p ET/1p PT on Substack and later on YouTube.
