Amazing how much less of a freakout this has caused than Zohran’s proposal for a few publicly owned grocery stores.

- One easy way to tell Kamala was not the “border czar” is that 214 House Republicans voted to impeach *a different member of the cabinet* over the border situation.
- Even looking narrowly at federal budgetary impact DOGE is almost surely *costing* money once you take account of future settlements, cost of hiring replacements, increased pay of future hires to compensate for DOGE uncertainty, etc.DOGE claims to have saved $55 billion. WSJ is able to find $2.6 billion over a multiyear period. Only 2% of savings are related to DEI. The rest is stuff like a clinical test for a a drug to help with Alzheimer's. Now that's some real government efficiency.
- “Malicious compliance” is the term Trump supporters have started to use for the unintended or unpopular consequences of the administration’s aggressively chaotic and ill-intentioned management of the federal government.So the order doesn't say to shut down the Medicaid portals. That gives us two options: 1) A bureaucrat engaged in malicious compliance shutting down government portals, or 2) Dems airing baseless rumors and whipping up a frenzy ahead of a White House briefing.
- “The Senegal women’s national basketball team cancelled a 10-day training camp in the U.S. from June 22 to July 3 after the U.S. rejected visas for five players, six staff members and a ministerial delegation”
- The deputy Treasury secretary, the CDC director, and the DIA director all got fired suddenly this week and I think only the most committed of news consumers noticed
- “After she was arrested by ICE in Lenoir City, Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus ended up at the Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana, where she experienced the unimaginable. After pleading for medical help for days, she lost her mid-term pregnancy.”
- This will be hard to believe for younger readers, but there used to be this whole group of conservative commentators who would whine endlessly about the “crony capitalist” nature of the Export-Import BankTim Cook: It is engraved for President Trump. It is a unique unit of one. And the base comes from Utah, and is 24 karat gold.
00:00 - Some of you will be too young to remember, but there used to be this whole cadre of conservative commentators, activists, and politicians who pretended to be concerned about crony capitalism*TRUMP PARDONS CONVICTED BINANCE FOUNDER CHANGPENG ZHAO: WSJ
- Remarkably, the Biden administration managed to get Colombia to accept hundreds of deportation flights without hissy fits or trade wars. Republicans should look into how they did that!This week I will introduce legislation to impose new sanctions on Colombia for refusing @realDonaldTrump’s migrant repatriation flights. Proud to be joined by my colleagues @SenatorTimScott @realannapaulina & @ByronDonalds
- Bailouts for farmers, bailouts for Argentinians, and bags of cash for insidersBrooke Rollins: "Soybean, corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton farmers are facing very difficult times. We are currently in conversations here at the White House, across the government, on a farmer aid package."
00:00 - Would love to be added to the tariffs group chat
- Trump can’t even find halfway qualified economists to staff the few admin jobs he has to fill, but I’m sure there are thousands of qualified Trump-voting chemists out there ready to teach and crank out research papers.All public universities should be required to have minimum 50% of their staff be conservative professors by spring 2026. In each department.
