What's the statute of limitations on that, Corey? Are you still under the presumptive pardon umbrella?
Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski
Some companies complained to the Trump administration that Lewandowski has stood to personally profit from the DHS contracting process. Lewandowski denies the allegations.
When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January of this year, they brought explosives with them so that they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq.
This would prevent US military aircraft from landing soldiers on the island if President Donald Trump ultimately chose to take Greenland by force.
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. may soon remove sanctions from Iranian oil that is stranded on tankers to help lift global supplies and reduce prices, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday.

Weird how that question is important when it is "spend $2 billion to build a light rail" and not this...
The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to a senior administration official, in an enormous new ask that is almost certain to run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict.
I know this is cliché snark at this point, but "we have infinite money for the military-cop-industrial-complex and no money for anything else" should never be left unchallenged, especially if it comes from "objective" journalists who will rediscover the deficit just in time to criticize any Democratic campaign proposals.
It is unclear who "the Pentagon" is here, whether Whiskey Pete specifically or others.

They dressed him up and ran him through some sort of military "haunted house" with some firecrackers going off. Why? Who knows.Um, what? Mullin is claiming that as a congressman, he was selected for some sort of mission that required training that was "hell," and was then sent somewhere where he "smelled war." But it's all classified. And only four people know about it. And he can't share any more details.

PONTIAC, Michigan, March 18 (Reuters) - Vaccination rates among young children in Michigan dropped sharply during the first year of the Trump administration, a Reuters analysis of state data shows, providing an early indication of how vaccine-skeptic Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is influencing immunization practices in the United States.
To state a couple of obvious things:
1) when parents are making choices for their children, it is only an issue of "personal" choice if you think children have no independent agency or rights.
2) The choice not to vaccinate affects everybody.
Americans were so convinced of their own wisdom that they killed their own children and called it "doing their own research."

The parade of European figures, especially, who imagined they could charm that stupid American president and get something out of him was quite pathetic to watch. I don't want to get too deep into clinical diagnosis territory, but if you think you can charm a man like Trump, then you have never known a man like Trump. Or not taken any lessons when you have.
There are some people Trump is genuinely charmed by, at least temporarily. But he eventually turns on them, too. Everyone else is just sucker he's playing a dominance game with.
One secret to the success of President Deals is he has never felt bound by any of those deals. His word means shit.
Give him an inch and he knows you're an easy mark.
Massive waste of money and potential just to cater to Trump's weird fixations.
The Trump administration is considering a new strategy for throttling the country’s offshore wind industry, after federal judges blocked its five previous attempts to stop wind farms under construction off the East Coast.
Senior administration officials are drafting settlement agreements that would pay nearly $1 billion to TotalEnergies, the French energy company behind two wind farms off New York State and North Carolina, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times, including copies of the agreements.
Under the terms of the proposed settlements, the Interior Department would cancel the leases in federal waters for the two projects, known as Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay, the documents show. The Justice Department would then pay more than $928 million to TotalEnergies, reimbursing the company for its winning bids in lease sales during the Biden administration.
In exchange, TotalEnergies would abandon its plans to begin building the wind farms. It would also commit to investing in natural gas infrastructure in Texas, as the Trump administration prioritizes the production of fossil fuels over renewables like wind and solar power.
I suppose the future black comedy about the fall of The Great Satan, America, written in the 7th decade of the New Spanish Empire, will be quite funny.

About 200,000 immigrant truck drivers - virtually all of them in the U.S. legally - will begin losing their commercial driver's licenses under a Trump administration rule taking effect Monday.Maybe with licenses just rolling off, the fantasy of good white American truckers from 1970s TV shows replacing all of these people will happen smoothly enough to prevent shortages. Or not!
The rule, which will bar many noncitizens from getting new commercial licenses or renewing existing ones, creates challenges for the trucking industry, already struggling with high fuel costs and high driver turnover, according to The Washington Post. Existing licenses will continue to be valid until they expire.
