Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

Trump appointed Epstein and Maxwell friend and partner Somers Farkas as ambassador to Malta

Trump appointed Epstein and Maxwell friend and partner Somers Farkas as ambassador to Malta

This is Somers Farkas

Trump appointed her as ambassador to Malta

She is another one of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's close pedophile friends

Her husband is in Epstein's black book 7 times

He and Epstein also co-owned the Simpson Bay Yacht Club after Epstein was arrested for child trafficking

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

Judge issues new broader order barring any National Guard from relocating to Oregon Judge asked federal government lawyer: 'Do you believe this is an appropriate way to deal with a judge’s order that you disagree with?'

Folks we are watching the adjudication of some of the most important constitutional issues of federalism, executive discretion, and judicial review since the 19th c

And the judge repeatedly had to remind him that he was an officer of the court

BREAKING: "For all of the reasons" given in Saturday's TRO, Immergut grants plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO.

"Based on the conduct of the defendants, ... in direct contravention" of Saturday's TRO, the second TRO bars relocation or federalization of National Guard from "any state or D.C."

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

One fact. One hallway. One night in Chicago. After this, you won’t say “just another immigration story.”👇

181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

“…there is nothing categorically inappropriate about federal courts reviewing—and, where necessary, halting—domestic uses of the military while they are ongoing. Indeed, it would be striking if it were otherwise.”

The Tariff Exemption Behind the AI Boom Data Centers get Tariff-Free Imports. Why Shouldn't we All?

NEW from me:

In his 2nd term, Trump has pursued the largest trade war in modern US history—with 1 glaring omission. Computer imports are almost entirely exempt from tariffs

It's a special carveout that AI companies are now reliant on for their data center buildout🧵

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.
