Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Breaking news: The Trump administration’s fundraising arrangement for the White House ballroom project shields donor identities and excludes the White House from conflict of interest requirements, according to records obtained by The Post.

Hegseth, Barron, evangelical leaders to join Trump event rededicating America to God WASHINGTON (RNS) — 'Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee Of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,' is part of a series of events and initiatives meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the D...

Trump's assigned verse in Bible marathon is red meat for Christian nationalists (RNS) — The choice of ‘Two Chronicles’ is not a coincidence.

"How can 'we the people' be God's chosen people humbling ourselves and turning from our wicked ways simply by Trump reading a verse? It’s the logical fallacy of Christian nationalists, especially when centered on a profane politician."

Unbelievably stupid.

This is a war based on lies

Wait, what? Iran gets their war Intel from US Newspapers?

What a disingenuous headline.

You know, everything doesn't have to be awful. We can have good leaders.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Pathetic. He is unfit to serve

Trump: The Strait is fully open!

Reality: We are now witnessing the first-ever complete shutdown of the Strait

That may not have been exactly true. Shocking I know.

Wit, unker, git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy Tales of love and adventure from 1,000 years ago reveal a dazzling range of now-extinct English pronouns. They capture something unique about how people once thought about "two-ness".

If it's hard to put your money in a bank, where do you put it? Who benefits from this EO?

Who will be most affected? We can guess, not Trump's foreign cronies and not foreign governments or corporations. This will be another way to make life hard for smaller accounts, people with "foreign" names, people who can't afford passports. 3/?

As far as I can tell, whether one is a US citizen or not doesn't correlate with one's lawful or unlawful use of the banking system. There are already rules about sketchy banking transactions. 2/?

Trump Order to Require Banks to Collect Citizenship Info 'In Process,' Bessent Says Here's what we know about the potential order so far—and how it could impact banks and customers.

I'm no financial genius but...it's absurd to think "we' don't know who has a bank account. Have these people never opened a bank account? Why would you need to be a citizen to put money on a US bank? Are they going to close all non citizens accounts? That seems dumb. 1/?

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

A picture of the cover of the book "The Price of Democracy: the revolutionary power of taxation in American history"

You wouldn't think a book about the history of taxation would be interesting but this one is. Highly recommend.

Cookies, deodorant, socks. Iran war puts military packages in limbo Thousands of boxes sent to service members in Middle East are stuck in limbo. The Postal Service has indefinitely suspended delivery amid Iran war.

While it's concerning that packages aren't being delivered, it seems more alarming that we are not able to adequately feed our service members.

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn b

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Well now
