Bettina Trump, Don Jr.'s wife, defends having a Putin ally finance part of their wedding trip, saying he was simply "our dear friend." Such a dear friend that brother Eric's rep told @propublica that “Eric has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has never heard his name.”
Donald Trump Jr.'s island wedding extravaganza was partially funded and planned by a Russian oligarch who is close to Putin and attended part of the multi-day outing. Don Jr calls him a "personal friend." @JustinElliott @BrettMmurphy @js_kaplan @Amierjeski https://t.co/eDu0WNUfv9
The drumbeat about unpredictable, out-of-control AI agents increased dramatically in the past several weeks. Washington not only struggled to respond. It barely could agree on whether there was much of anything to worry about. @SangerNYT @dnvolz https://t.co/xnjEGsoe8Y
Trump denies skipping New York event because he couldn't speak, saying he was invited to Pentagon instead. But he hasn't explained why he isn't doing both. On other big anniversaries, Bush (1st and 5th), Obama (10th) and Biden (20th) visited all three attack sites the same day.
This is the scene tomorrow: Four presidents of both parties at Ground Zero 25 years after 9/11, the sitting president 200 miles away, marking the moment at another attack site, estranged from predecessors and governing as fear of foreign attack recedes. https://t.co/dRsiTi84Fn
60 posts in 10 hours: The rat-a-tat of ever wilder, ever more outrageous social media images each weekend has become a fixture of Trump's second term, seen more and more as a barometer of his mental state. https://t.co/VtBs8TK77H
Lonnie Bunch to step down as the Smithsonian's chief amid pressure from the White House over the museum's presentation of history. Bunch says the pressure is not why he is resigning but acknowledges that "it has been stressful." @rpogrebin @Graham_Bowley https://t.co/oROYYdfEdw
Senator Marshall filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills during his decades-long career as an obstetrician-gynecologist. Patients were arrested in 81 of those cases for missing court dates. @sarahkliff https://t.co/VP3WscYHNs
"The one thing he likes to do during the week is construction": With the US mired in an intractable Middle East war, Trump is basking in the momentum on a half-dozen makeover projects he has set in motion throughout the capital. @lukebroadwater @maggieNYT https://t.co/8AdJgIEgVk
While "shadow secretary" at DHS, Lewandowski approached Qatari and UAE officials to hire him to deal with any issues that fell under the department’s purview, such as visas, sources tell @tparti @jdawsey1 @MHackman @summer_said (Lewandowski disputes this.) https://t.co/jrP3O8JPGu
Leopold Aschenbrenner was dubbed the “Nostradamus of AI." His spectacular $35 billion loss "reveals how eager Silicon Valley is to invest its billions in the dubious hands of a kid who confidently proclaims what he doesn’t actually know" writes @tab_delete https://t.co/O3oHGDRfL7
AfD dominates a crucial state election in Germany, but falls short of the absolute majority that would have made it the first far-right party to govern part of the country since the Nazi era. @jimtankersley @CFSchuetze https://t.co/WOGC4ln91L
Yet even as he tried to return to Trump's fold, Cohen kept a foot in the other camp. George Conway says Cohen called to offer to help his campaign for Congress. “I’m like, what? He’s trying to suck up to Trump and literally my entire campaign was about sending this guy to jail.”
A look at Cohen's tortured path from "rat" to reconciliation. "Everything is transactional. It’s the weirdest example yet of the transactional nature of the president of the United States and those around him."
Trump claims that Michael Cohen "has just fully RECANTED his testimony" against the president, who was convicted of 34 felonies and held liable for bank fraud. Except that he hasn't. Cohen hasn't taken back any of it. https://t.co/f48oZcGyus
How a conspiracy-minded podcaster installed at the FBI by Trump helped instigate a sprawling investigation targeting Fauci and other government scientists in connection with the COVID pandemic based on unproven theories. @benjmueller @GlennThrush https://t.co/GEUXRDwWdj
Trump asks Supreme Court to allow him to enact his plan to restrict mail-in voting in time for this fall's midterm elections as Republicans face an uphill political environment unless the rules can be changed. @AbbieVanSickle https://t.co/59z4bxsmLf
In her long battle to get society to adopt "Ms." as a universal honorific for women regardless of whether they were married, Gloria Steinem's toughest obstacle may have been the @nytimes. But eventually she convinced Abe Rosenthal, writes @adamnagourney https://t.co/rtxUSkGHnB
Fully 49% of Americans now identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning compared with 39% Republican, the party's largest advantage since 2008 and a big flip in 2 years, per @Gallup. As late as 2024, the GOP had a slight edge. @RuthIgielnik @carolinelsoler https://t.co/CwbyKldhmp
Behind closed doors, Fetterman shows little interest in the job, keeping a light daily schedule, often refusing to meet with constituents and fellow lawmakers, or canceling at the last minute, report @TheWillHobson @siobhanehughes https://t.co/bKVmzNeLts
Iran's gamble that time is on its side may not be paying off, reports @yarotrof. Oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and via ports in Gulf of Oman have reached 40% of prewar flow, almost none of it Iranian. https://t.co/aGCfZWBq6m
Hegseth's Pentagon straps about 50 officers from the Joint Staff to lie detector machines to investigate leaks and intimidate senior military in what appears to be an unprecedented mass polygraph blitz. @jonathanvswan @Adamentous @maggieNYT @EricSchmittNYT https://t.co/zE7PM4I3vA
Hiring improved in August as employers pushed past uncertainty related the war in Iran, tariffs and artificial intelligence to expand their payrolls by 162,000 jobs. @melbournecoal https://t.co/GjHkBG5yWq
Trump is breaking ground on his 250-foot-tall triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery even before a federal review panel has approved the project. @lukebroadwater @emilymbadger https://t.co/sFFmNIR8Xp
Gloria Steinem, the feminist crusader who galvanized the modern women’s movement, helping millions of women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at home, at work and in society at large, dies at 92. @kseelye https://t.co/N1VWZhH3bW
