NEW -- Donald Trump has produced and is airing TV ads extolling the glory of Donald Trump. The White House is calling them "public service announcements."
And you'll never guess who's paying for it all!

Saying the Iran war should end as quickly as possible, and then two days later voting not to end the war, is incredible huffpost.com/entry/senate-re…

There’s a war going on - so is now really the right time to focus on a College Sports bill?

White House says:
“These public service announcements are about reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad. The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic. We should be proud of our country.”
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

Sen Dan Sullivan speaking to Hill reporters on this story just now:
“I think it's sad. I think it's incredibly disturbing that so many Alaskans were subject to this kind of abusive behavior.”
SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill.
Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.)

🚨 Scooplet: @PalantirTech, a data firm with $145M in ICE contracts, was promoted as a "top supporter" at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference in Washington, D.C. last week, according to photos reviewed by HuffPost and a statement from the company.
This comes after @CHCI, the nonprofit aligned with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, publicly canceled Palantir's sponsorship and returned a donation after facing backlash.

In 2024, Trump repeatedly credited X Jinping for China's supposed "quick trials" and same-day death penalty for drug dealers.
He said he wanted to adopt the policy here.

White House appears to be defying last night's court order
A POLITICO reporter was denied access to the White House and his press credentials confiscated after a judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore access for news organizations that President Donald Trump banned from the complex last week. politi.co/4dU7YX4

It is interesting how Trump is literally rolling out a red carpet for a communist dictator just as Republicans make “Democrats are communists” one of their main closing messages ahead of the midterms

NEW -- Presidents haven't been greeting foreign leaders at the airport since the 60s.
Yet that is exactly the better-than-royal treatment Trump is giving Xi Jinping of China, which steals American IP, jails dissidents and has imprisoned an ethnic minority.

Going out to the airport to greet a foreign leader has not been done in 60 years.
Presidents in recent decades have done that only for papal visits.
Trump is doing it to honor a ruthless dictator.

Trump approval now at -22.4, his low point for the term and now lower than at any point in his first term, even after Jan. 6. By comparison, he was at a "mere" -11.6 at this point in 2018.
