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…

Imagine telling a military family that war is good news because Chevron's shareholders are having a fantastic week.

FWIW, @michaeldweiss and I covered the growing corruption scandal around the US ambassador to Greece during last week’s @BulwarkOnline episode. Bit prophetic? Actually, zero surprise that more was coming out. Too much tales of bad behavior was swirling in many circles. Here’s the clip. youtu.be/YtzrSLqREbA?is=_uHJ…

Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

🚨 THE REVERSAL LAST MONTH: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers defended Trump’s Canada tariffs as “necessary.” TODAY: “Canada is not our enemy.” “We need to end this tariff war now.” Rogers says ending it would help lower costs for Michigan businesses and consumers. “Necessary” then doesn’t mean necessary forever. But the political signal is hard to miss: A candidate who defended the policy is now campaigning on ending it because of its costs.

Leaked audio of Minnesota Republican candidate Michele Tafoya's advice to Americans concerned with skyrocketing prices: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks... Let’s just try to be patriots about this."

You can reasonably dispute the meaning of a lot Trump says because he’s so incoherent and inarticulate. But what you can’t reasonably dispute is that he is a sadistic and delusional narcissistic sociopath, at once both psychopathic and psychotic, who is lacking in morality, conscience, empathy, remorse, and impulse control, and whose only concern if a city (in any country, including ours) were to be wiped off the face of the Earth, would be how it affects him.

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.

This level of naked, open corruption is unprecedented in our history.

There's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize that deserves it more. Look at Gaza, it's a parking lot now, safe for Israeli development, lots of beachside property available. Look at Iran, I've bombed it so much they're begging for peace.

Sen. Thom Tillis says he expects there will be pressure on Mike Johnson to not seat the new Congress if Democrats win

WATCH THIS: Trump names Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. “I could've done very bad things” to them, he says. Then: “I can do whatever I want, if I want.” He doesn't specify what those “very bad things” would be. But the conception of presidential power he's describing matters. Political opponents can be subjected to investigation or prosecution when evidence and law justify it. What a president cannot lawfully possess is personal authority to punish opponents simply because he wants to. That's the authoritarian principle embedded in these remarks: THE POWER IS MINE. THE RESTRAINT IS MINE. THE DECISION IS MINE. In a constitutional system, none of those things belongs to one man. Watch the video.

Dear Mr. Trump, Thank you for submitting your application to The Nobel Peace Prize committee. While we review your peaceful desire for Los Angeles and San Diego to be bombed, we suggest you apply to the International Court at the Hauge. You are exactly who they're looking for.

This is what happens when you put a psychopath in the White House.

This was just sent to me. Palestinian-flag colored lights on display in New York City. Disgusting.

The Trump admin has declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms — meaning observers from the group won't be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.

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."

LEAKED AUDIO: Mike Rogers was caught mocking Michiganders' concerns as Trump's tariffs spiked grocery prices, saying "Oh my gosh, coffee went up. You know, horror!"

While it's early we are seeing very strong Dem early vote performance in three states now - New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. All data via TargetEarly, this day vs comparable days in 2022 and 2024. Here's New Jersey: 2022 D+37 2024 D+45 2026 D+48

Companies backed by investment vehicles tied to Trump's sons have received or been promised more than $6 BILLION in federal business after those investments were made. Now look at Anduril. Trump Jr. is a partner at 1789 Capital, which invested in the company. Since that investment, ABC reports Anduril has received 135 additional federal contracts worth about $1.8 BILLION. Now the Navy is committing up to another $2.9 BILLION to Anduril's new shipyard project. But there's another detail. The Washington Post previously reported that Trump Jr. publicly described helping Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth with Pentagon messaging and personnel decisions while seeking people interested in greater drone spending. So ask the question: WERE THESE CONTRACTS AWARDED ENTIRELY ON THE MERITS? The reporting does not establish otherwise. But the financial interests, federal contracts and documented Pentagon involvement make independent scrutiny essential. SHOW THE PROCUREMENT RECORD. LET GAO AUDIT THE DEAL.
