Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that the Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars in counterterrorism funding — a move they say threatens New Yorkers ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. wapo.st/4dcJic0

Maggie Haberman spent an hour with him in the Oval Office in March and came away with a number. Seventy percent of his mind share, by her estimate, goes to the renovations. The ballroom. The arch. He interrupted an unrelated meeting to call Emmanuel Macron and ask what it is like to stand under the actual Arc de Triomphe, whether it has a visitor's desk, whether people jump off it. Someone had asked him what should go on top of his own version. He was deciding between that and a giant gold cast of his own fist from Butler. Meanwhile nobody around him seems fully certain he understands how depleted American munitions are after this war he started with Iran, a live open question from a reporter who has covered him for a decade. There is no policy agenda left, by Haberman's own account. No immigration bill in the works, no legislative program, nothing beyond retribution and construction. He is not governing a country right now so much as decorating a legacy he has already decided he deserves.

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled in Roubaix, France, one day before the United States celebrates Independence Day on July 4. The mural, titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw, who painted the it over six days a building on Rue de Chemin-de-Fer. de Leeuw said the city of Roubaix "has a large migrant population, and many of them live in extremely difficult circumstances." "The values that the statue once stood for—freedom, hope, the right to be yourself—have been lost for many,” she said. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the U.S. and stands on Liberty Island in New York – nearby Ellis Island, which was a stop for immigrants making their way to New York in 19th and 20th centuries. Both make up a National Park.

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: In Criminal Violation of Logan Act, Former President Donald Trump Attempts to Supercede Authority of U.S. President Joe Biden and Threaten Iran’s President Directly NOTE: Under then-President Trump, America was seconds from a full-blown war with Iran in early 2020 after Trump assassinated an Iranian general, lied about what he had done and why, and then said the hundreds of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) U.S. soldiers suffered following Iran’s retaliation for the assassination were mere “headaches.” When Trump says that Iran would not attack America were he president, he is clawing open the mouths of hundreds of still-injured U.S. service-members and spitting inside them, pretending that their serious injuries never occurred on his watch or even occurred at all. The Qasem Soleimani assassination was conducted as part of Trump collusion with Benjamin Netanyahu—Trump consulted closely with the Israelis in planning the assassination—which collusion was repeated recently when Netanyahu again assassinated Iranian leaders unilaterally, this time in Syria and at a time when President Biden was telling him to restrain himself and Donald Trump was publicly and privately sending the opposite message. The goal of both Netanyahu and Trump is to drag America into a regional war that President Biden will be blamed for so that Trump can win in November. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu care how many dead American soldiers this plan results in, or how many dead Gazan children, or how many dead Iranian civilians. The public performance by Donald Trump in the image below, which is a federal criminal act, is part of a long-running charade to obscure the fact that he and his friend Netanyahu are marching America to war and that the Abraham Accords the two men signed with their co-conspirators MBS (Saudi Arabia) and MBZ (United Arab Emirates) deliberately excluded the Palestinians precisely so that the current war in Gaza would happen. The New York Times has already reported that Netanyahu was secretly funding Hamas through Qatar prior to October 7th despite being aware that a massive attack on Israel by Hamas was coming. The current war in the Middle East was designed by Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and two Muslim autocrats (MBS and MBZ) who traded Gaza for Israeli surveillance equipment that would allow them to further repress their people. Feel free to read the second and third national-bestselling books in the Proof Trilogy for the sourcing on all of this.

A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump. Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties. It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love. It's really that simple.
