The Trump administration has spent at least $443,000 on pro-Trump TV ads paid for by the U.S. government. The White House issued a statement calling the spots “clearly not campaign ads”: "The attacks on President Donald J. Trump’s public service announcements are highly dishonest. The announcements are very clearly not campaign ads; President Trump is not on the ballot and there is no call to action,” the White House said in a statement. “Instead, the announcements are a reminder for Americans to love their country and know why it’s worth defending — at home, at the border, and abroad. That’s not partisanship — that’s a government that still believes in the country it serves." variety.com/2026/tv/news/whi…

Kimberly Guilfoyle has puzzled government officials across the region with her extensive efforts to involve Christos Marafatsos, a 39-year-old former produce seller turned Greeks for Trump chairman. Marafatsos has attended so many of her meetings that some foreign officials mistook him for her chief of staff. Instead, he’s a top lobbyist for a company she’s been promoting—a fact he often doesn’t disclose, including in meetings with government officials. wsj.com/articles/kimberly-gu…

Trump on taking Cuba: "I think I'll have the honor of conquering Cuba. That wouldn't be bad. It would be a great honor. I can liberate it or conquer it, I think I can do what I want with it."

Eleven days before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Egypt's intelligence chief made a secret mission to Israel to warn officials of a possible assault. He was on the ground just 67 minutes, so intent he had to come in person. @vmsalama has the receipts. theatlantic.com/national-sec…

Your Member of Congress didn’t go to work this week. @SpeakerJohnson said we’d work every day of the Congressional calendar, then he canceled session until after the election to avoid voting on the Epstein files and Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

The DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. propublica.org/article/trump…

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #DemsUnited

Bill Clinton: "Some days I can hardly believe what is happening in this country that I love so much. People in charge have created one set of rules for themselves and another set for everyone else. They've weaponized government to settle personal scores, prosecute enemies, stamp out free speech. They've even made the federal government a new profit centre for themselves and their allies."

Washington needs a good power washing top to bottom. Five things I would do today to end corruption in Washington across all three branches of government: 1. Ban all stock trading. 2. Ban all participation in prediction markets. 3. Mandatory retirement at 75 years old. 4. Mandatory blind trust for individuals with a net worth more than $1 million. 5. Ban all foreign gifts to public officials, including foreign investments in their businesses or other entities.

The @nytimes confirms the @haaretzcom report that the UAE secretly warned Netanyahu that Hamas was planning a major attack on Israel shortly before Oct. 7; Bibi did not relay the warning to security officials. nytimes.com/2026/09/25/world…
