BREAKING: Jamie Raskin says Trump's damage control on his taxpayer-funded ads may have walked him into legal jeopardy. Saying "his" PAC would pay for the PSAs revealed he's directing it. That's illegal coordination. Trump just updated future Judiciary Chair Raskin's to-do list.

Nobody is working in this administration. They’re simply monetizing their administration role. All of them are so deeply corrupt and I can’t wait for the hearings.
Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.” w/@DanaMattioli @drewhinshaw @JoeWSJ wsj.com/politics/policy/guil…

El-Sayed: Trump wants everybody to know that he’s on the ballot. I want everybody to know that he’s on the ballot, too. Mike Rogers is a vote for Donald Trump. I want him to come and say it for himself. And I think he’s too afraid. I know that all of Rogers’ people are being like, “Please don’t come, sir. Please don’t come.” He is the best speaker on behalf of the Republican Party. How dare they tell him not to come… So, Donald, if you’re watching, don’t wuss out, man. Don’t be told what to do by Mike Rogers. You should come. You should go as many places as your little heart desires. And you should tell everybody why you’re on the ballot. Your tariffs are on the ballot, and your war is on the ballot, and your drapes are on the ballot.

FIRE POINT CEO: UKRAINE MUST NEVER NEED PERMISSION TO DEFEND ITSELF 🇺🇦🇨🇳 Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh says Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 defense industry is moving toward something strategically transformative: the ability to build and operate its own ballistic missiles without foreign kill switches or political permission. “If one private company can bring Ukraine to a VIP league of operators of their own independent ballistic missiles with no kill switch, we don't have to ask anybody if we want to conduct a self defense.” Terekh says Fire Point is not alone. Multiple Ukrainian private companies, she argues, have already achieved similar independence in other defense domains. That drive for sovereignty also shapes the supply chain. Terekh says the company actively tries to avoid Chinese 🇨🇳 electronic components because of concerns that manufacturers may be required to leave back doors accessible to the state. Her answer is aggressive vertical integration. “I'm verticalizing as crazy. Is it healthy from a business perspective? Probably not. This is definitely healthy from a national security interest.” For Terekh, national security also extends far beyond missiles, drones and the armed forces. Data centers, energy infrastructure and water systems all have to be treated as part of the same defense ecosystem. “If there's a terror to remove civilians from the cities, it would be hard to still save the economics, still save the defense business.” Her argument is ultimately about independence: Ukraine cannot base its survival on weapons, components or critical infrastructure that someone else can switch off.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
