As we all suspected. The Federal Reserve’s independent watchdog found no reasonable grounds to believe its multibillion-dollar renovation broke federal law. Trump made it a target, federal prosecutors briefly scrutinized it, and the watchdog found no basis for the accusations.

Morning! 💚 We just wanted to say thank you. So many of you are working hard to get ready for No Kings Day. We love seeing the signs you’ve shared with us. Tomorrow, there will be more of us!
Our supporters called America .gov “Selective Intelligence.” We agree. They’re rushing to change its answers to match what Trump wants to hear.
Lol. America’s “super intelligence” is fun. The answers seem to depend on how you ask the question. 😂
Ask, “Is Trump in the Epstein files?”
Get nothing.
Ask, “How many times is Trump mentioned in the Epstein files?”
Lol. 😂
Our response to the State Department using Smokey last night.
Trump is using the launch of the new AI-powered America .gov to push the SAVE Act. He says the site will make it easy to get documents like replacement Social Security cards and passports, so Congress should pass the bill. Apparently, getting the paperwork will be as easy as a swipe.
Update: The Texas Tribune identified Gregory Feathers as the ICE agent who fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston.

The State Department decided to take a shot at our movement and Smokey with a new “Only you can prevent visa fraud” post. They put it on their page about two hours ago.
Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers is a Chinese conspiracy. Huh? Meanwhile, 61% of Americans oppose building a new data center in their own area.
When you think things can’t get any more ridiculous at the White House, Trump is now floating the idea of replacing the White House press briefing room with a swimming pool.
The Education Department today removed the Biden-era Title IX rule that addressed discrimination against students based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

We’re all counting on them following through after the midterms.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Yosemite Facelift this year and helped clean up our parks! YCA had a great turnout. 💚
MTG has really been going after her own.
Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

We found some more fraud, waste, and abuse. The third government-funded Trump ad has been identified by AdImpact in recent days. The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”
This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.
Who’s ready for No Kings? We’re getting an early start on making signs! ✊💚
CNN says its journalists have been barred from joining the press pool traveling with Trump this weekend. CNN reporters were scheduled to board Air Force One today to cover Trump’s trip to Knoxville for a college football game, but they’ve now been denied a spot in the traveling pool.
Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”
For the third time, the Supreme Court has blocked Trump-backed Missouri congressional maps from being used in the 2026 election. Missouri will use its 2022 congressional map in November.

Trump is using more taxpayer dollars to run television ads promoting Trump. The administration just rolled out another taxpayer-funded spot centered on the president one of the ads the White House is calling a “public service announcement.”
This is a big deal and it will affect eligible voters! The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow the Trump administration to resume using its expanded SAVE database to check voter rolls, reversing lower-court orders that had blocked it over privacy and accuracy concerns.
We should probably vent less. Sorry, we do sometimes. This administration is… well, you can fill in the blank. 😅
A win! The California Supreme Court has ordered Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to return roughly 650,000 ballots he seized from the 2025 special election.
Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
As we all expected. CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters are still being denied access to the White House this morning, despite a federal judge ordering the administration to immediately restore their press credentials.
