TRUMP IN LAFAYETTE PARK THIS MORNING: Press pool says WH says on background “President Trump walked through Lafayette Park today to personally check on the restoration progress, one of the many D.C. landmarks being made beautiful again under his Executive Order signed nearly one year ago.”
The park right now is fenced off and under renovation. The Washington Post reported today Trump wants to plant 47 maple trees in it in line with his 47th place in the presidency. (note paywall) http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202…
Trump boasted of his ability to buy ‘good maple trees’ in early days of Iran war, book claims | The Independenthttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-maple-trees-regime-change-book-b3001192.html
Trump: "They're cheating. The kid won. Or he was certainly in the top two. I don't know him, I never met him. Spencer Pratt. He went away quietly. We didn't go away quietly. He shouldn't go away quietly, he should protest, because it was in my very strong opinion a rigged election."

"Representative Tom Kean, Missing for Months, Is Back Home in New Jersey: The congressman, who has been absent from Washington since March, answered the door of his home on Wednesday evening. He was wearing a suit and tie." — http://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n…
Yet he still got paid for missing four months of his job. Would you have? Clearly this is why congress is out of touch with the people. They are mostly wealthy and get paid $174,000 with perks to work less than half a year. Yet it is the poor and lower incomes that need regulations on what they can buy with assistance money. Hugs

"Support Builds on the Right for Prosecuting Women Who Get Abortions. ‘What is the accountability for these women?’” Of course this where the GOP is heading. The GOP is about religious fascism. Oppressing women is a big part of that. Gift link below http://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u…
Time to build support for prosecuting hospitals and doctors who refuse to give an abortion and the woman dies. Negligent homicide would work. They have given in to the fear of being prosecuted if they give an abortion – make them more afraid of letting a woman die when they don't.
We DeSantis thinks that by shutting down this billion dollar experiment in human suffering, we'll forget and move on. He's wrong. I will not stop until these people are held accountable.

EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA. http://www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e…
Sources told STAT that application drew interest from top health officials. Given the demographics and the peculiar nature of the application, I asked the WH if this patient was President Trump, who turned 80 a week ago. I did not get a direct answer.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Trump was notably one of the first people administered an antibody treatment from Regeneron after he contracted the virus, via this same compassionate use pathway.
18 bioethics experts, obesity clinicians, and current and former government officials told me the application struck them as unusual. They questioned why Lilly would offer compassionate use for a single patient when obesity is such a widespread condition.
Why on earth does a 6’3” 239 lb man need a weight loss drug. I mean, look at these two specimens!
Lilly posted its program for retatrutide in early June, but unlike postings for other drugs, it contains no information about the disease conditions or which patients might qualify. "Only people in the know would be able to find this," an expert said. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT076…
One remarkable aspect of Trump’s reign is how many crises and problems he’s brought on himself.Then he brags about how well he’s handled them.But when things go wrong — as they usually do — he casts blame on others or on his political opponents.Consider him the Green Algae President.

Gramps was deported to America after dodging the draft in Germany. Trump likes to lie and say gramps fought in WWI and killed hundreds of American, British, and French soldiers. Truth is Gramps was already running brothels in the US and Canada about ten years before that war even began.

G7 day two: Trump enters late, declares he is the boss, then tries to offer photographers to remain in the room during the session.My 2 cents: this is the exact behavior style that then ultimately made him the center of concerns at the G7 last year.. on day two. Let’s see if the agenda stays as is
