NYT headline: From Chips to Security, China is getting much of what it wants from the US Subhead: For China, President Trump's moves to loosen chip controls, soften US rhetoric and stay silent on tensions with Japan amount to a a rare string of gains.

Trump giving China want it wants, from cutting edge US computer chips, to bulling the rest of Asia. In exchange, Americans are paying more for a bunch of stuff. WINNING!

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

Republicans are letting drug kingpins out of prison

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling on DHS to cease what he describes as an illegal abuse of customs law to reveal the identities of social media accounts tracking the activity of ICE agents.

The President Who Cried ‘Hoax’ Republicans went after Epstein only when it was politically useful.

The “Epstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

extremely legal and cool

Cal the real mvp come on

don't give them ideas kim

A lot of people have helped Trump cover up his involvement with Epstein. They need to think very carefully about their choices going forward. It's one thing to cheer on his ballroom or root for DOGE. Running interference for pedophiles is something the history books won’t forget.
