Here's the decision in State of California v Trump, knocking out much of Trump's executive order on voting (yay judge!!). Can someone explain why it enjoins defendants from taking any action to implement or enforce the EO, EXCEPT President Trump? www.courtlistener.com/docket/69841...

He's sure proud of the big gift Qatar gave him but not talking about the deaths and destruction he caused by launching the war against Iran.

While Iran once again closed the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump posted this question. My answer, I prefer "YOU ARE A DUMBASS MR. PRESIDENT." Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump Truth Social post POLL: Which do you prefer, Dumocrat or Dumbocrat?"

So, my first concern when I saw what workers were pouring into the Reflecting Pool I quickly looked up whether birds might be harmed. I didn't think to look up whether it would cause the paint to peel. But, I'm not the pool expert.

Text from search on whether hydrogen peroxide would make paint peel (the answer is YES).

So with Trump now being the main act instead of all the performers who dropped out, cue the need to recruit attendees just like they're doing for the big cage fight.

Once again Trump moves the goalposts in his war against Iran. In this comment he now says he won't stop until he's punished them enough.

Statement from Trump on Iran proposal to end war: "I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years"

In order to submit any claims to get tariff refunds, you first have to go through a process to get a special ID number. My first attempt, after spending hours trying to figure out and gather what CBP required, was rejected.
