Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Corrupting economic statistics will change our economic reality. Here's how: Tariffs raise prices. Social Security is indexed to inflation. If Trump tells a partisan BLS head to downplay inflation, seniors' social security checks won't keep up. Rigged stats = stolen benefits.

BREAKING: In one of the most corrupt acts in American history, the Trump administration accepted an “unconditional donation” of a luxury jet from Qatar, with no restrictions even after Trump left office, according to an agreement reviewed by ABC News. The retrofit for presidential use is expected to cost taxpayers $900 million. Sources told ABC News the plan was to transfer the jet to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation after he left office.

Doc linked below evidences a biz relationship btw Kraft Group and one of Boston‘s largest developers. We’re 6 weeks from the primary and Josh Kraft has failed to inform Bostonians how he intends to manage entanglements. The press has failed to vet Kraft’s leadership team. 👈🏼 🚩
Took some sleuthing to figure out who the recent $95,000 contributor to pro Josh Kraft superpac is. Crocker shares an address with W/S. Turns out Crocker and W/S have the same top dog. And that top dog has a biz relationship with a Kraft! promisneurosciences.com/inve…

The race is on. Republicans are moving today to Emil Bove’s nomination, rushing to get Trump’s thug cleared through the Senate while two Trump judges hold up the court contempt hearing that would bring out the facts hidden from us in Judiciary. 🧵

Just so I’m clear… he’s introducing a bill….to repeal the bill… he voted for….two weeks ago?
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduces a new bill to repeal some of the Medicaid cuts in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, which he voted for. "Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect," Hawley says. Full text 👇

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a thick cloud of uncertainty.

A little more trivia. Seaport Square’s Project Notification Form (2008) included a permanent branch of Boston Public Library. BPDA allowed that commitment to evaporate upon approving the 2010 PDA. In its place? District Hall, a temporary building built on public park space.
District Hall, shuttered since 2023, was heralded in 2013 as a civic masterwork, the “Library of the 21st Century.” It’s temporary, built on land planned and zoned as a public park (part of Seaport Common). The master developer wants YOU to believe it’s on a buildable lot.

Yeah that sounds like a man who understands the consequences of war. This is exactly why the decision of whether to go to war with Iran should go through Congress.
TRUMP declines to say whether he's made a decision on whether the U.S. will join Israel in striking Iran. "I may do it, I may not do it, nobody knows what I'm going to do."

Trump/Witkoff promised to end the war in Gaza, end the war in Ukraine, and do a deal with Iran to prevent war there. So far, they are 0-3. Wishing them more success in the future.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

Amazing. As a condition of letting Nippon Steel acquire U.S. Steel, Trump insisted the U.S. government be given a managing stake in the company, giving it veto power over a host of potential decisions by Nippon. He's effectively nationalized the company. nytimes.com/2025/06/15/busin…

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

I was out of reach camping in the wilderness when this happened last week. I'm so proud of my colleagues at the Journal - first rate journalists and great people. They made this happen. Bravo to them! abajournal.com/news/article/…

I agree with David Brooks 💯%: “At least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably by the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. That's Elon Musk’s legacy. The people who work at Tesla and SpaceX might want to think about that."
