TOP O’ THE MORNIN’

Red-Hot at RedState 

Currently, he’s a resentful, unhinged individual ranting in vain, striving to catch the attention of a young woman with both athletic talent and the intelligence to recognize when a man is posing as a woman to advance in their athletic pursuits.

Not so much, according to someone who might know what he’s talking about—President Donald Trump.

But the book may have hurt his main job with CNN if he’s losing what little audience they have left.

This could be very bad as the military and police embrace the new technology while we’re relegated to relics of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Either the corrupt Pulitzer board will have to try to settle the case with Trump or risk a very expensive beating in a trial on Trump’s home turf.

The UN and other so-called “humanitarian” aid organizations are resistant to outsiders interfering with their aid distribution operations. That’s not very humanitarian of them, is it?

The courts are undemocratically halting an agenda that the American people voted for. 

We reluctantly (eagerly) break it to you, Mr. Little Pink Houses, but declaring that fans aren’t permitted to boo other fans, especially celebrity supporters of the visiting team, is NOT representative of America. 

WHAT’S ON TAP?

Today on Capitol Hill…

One more critter-free day on the Hill. They’ll be back at it next week. Here’s a little preview of what comes next on the reconciliation front:

The Senate will have to move extremely quickly under this timeline. And Johnson will have to work overtime to defend the House’s equities in this package – not only from Senate Republicans, but also from Trump, who has expressed openness to changing the House product.

The speaker will seek to protect House-crafted provisions on everything from SALT to the rapid rollback of IRA clean-energy tax credits to steep Medicaid spending cuts. Some GOP senators will want more, some won’t be comfortable going this far.

But every change the Senate makes will impact Johnson’s vote count when the reconciliation bill comes back to the House. At some point during the next few weeks, Johnson will almost certainly be forced to plead with skittish House Republicans to pass a revised reconciliation package with the debt-limit deadline looming around the corner in mid-July.

White House What’s Up

President Trump will participate in a press conference with Elon Musk at 1:30 p.m. Eastern. Then he heads out to U.S. Steel at the Irvin Works facility in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where he’ll deliver remarks on the U.S. Steel deal. 

Vice President JD Vance shared his own thoughts about Musk’s contributions to the administration and the country.

Full Court Press…

Thursday was yo-yo central on the tariff front with the courts. We had the Court of International Trade (CIT) decision late Wednesday, placing a hold on many of the tariffs enacted by the Trump administration, followed by a similar decision out of the D.C. District Court Thursday morning. And then an administrative stay from the Federal Circuit on the CIT’s decision. The D.C. District Court decision has been appealed as well — we’ll see what the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals does with that one.
