Why does President Zelenskyy dress in military-style attire, and why did he get flak from certain quarters when he wore it to the White House? @timkmak, Myroslava Tanska-Vikulova and Anastasiia Kryvoruchenko dig into it for Counteroffensive.

Trump calling on #MarjorieTaylorGreene's boyfriend to ask the first question (replacing the #AssociatedPress who, prior to being kicked out of the #WhiteHouse press core for refusing to cave to the #GulfOfAmerica nonsense, were the traditional first asker of presidential questions for decades) about how incredible Trump's poll numbers are (they're not, actually) is straight up third world dictator stuff.
Not Even DOGE Employees Know Who’s Legally Running DOGE
Despite all appearances, the White House insists that #ElonMusk is not in charge of DOGE. US Doge Service employees can’t get a straight answer about who is.

"according to a new #court filing from the #WhiteHouse, the administrator of #DOGE isn’t Elon Musk after all. Who is? No one knows...
a sworn statement...Musk’s formal role is “senior advisor” to the president"
Marcy (Emptywheel) has some very interesting things to say about this magic trick #Trump and the #WhiteHouse are attempting to pull:
"Why #ElonMusk Can’t Run #DOGE [sic] Anymore"
"Judge Tanya #Chutkan had a Presidents Day hearing on a lawsuit challenging DOGE’s actions.
In a response and declaration, the government blew off [her] first question, but on the second, denied that Musk has the power of DOGE. He’s just a senior Trump advisor, one solidly within the White House Office, and so firewalled from the work of DOGE, yet still protected from any kind of nasty disclosure requirements."
Ending with:
"In practice, Trump is saying Elon can dismantle entire agencies without Senate confirmation...
Or he was. Now he’s arguing that all this is happening without Elon’s personal direction.
There is plenty in the complaint already that debunks this, not least the narrative of how Elon started disappearing USAID even before, by his own description, Trump approved."

The blitz of Trump's immigration executive orders has continued, so fast and sweeping that it’s been hard to keep up, much less gauge their potential impact.
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune explain the most consequential changes he made on Day 1.
I'm sure it's JUST a coincidence that searching for the Constitution at the White House webpage now leads to "Page Not Found":

The #WhiteHouse website just got a "Reality TV" makeover. 
The White House says the Office of the US Trade Representative is probing China’s semiconductor industry for anti-competitive trade practices. But will President-elect Trump see the investigation through? Read more from @Axios@flipboard.com

Are you an #American? What do you know about #IolaniPalace ?
It had electricity and telephones, for example, before the #WhiteHouse did.
What history were you taught?
When did #Hawaii have its #Statehood to become one of the #UnitedStates ?
Personally, I know next to nothing about #Hawaiian things?
Well, I consider it next to nothing.
The woman who sat next to me at work probably couldn't point to it on a map, or spell it correctly.
I still prefer to have been educated about Hawaiian things.
Your average every day... what's that word, proud boy, probably believes his was the first type of man to live on this land.
But, wait! Wait! New iPhone! Fuck that shit. Ma new Phone! woot woot!
The filing described what the then-president told key figures in his orbit, including VP #MikePence, attorney #RudyGiuliani & senior #WhiteHouse & Republican Party ofcls, though it shielded some of their names, & how some in his orbit told him his claims of having won the election were false. It also detailed what #Trump was doing on #Jan6, as his supporters violently stormed the Capitol.
#Trump is now #bribing #voters and buying #votes in #Pennsylvania. He went into a #groceryStore with a camera crew and made a big show of giving a woman $100 at the register for her grocery purchase. He immediately followed that by claiming he'd be doing more of that from the #WhiteHouse. Is this even legal??

German aid to Ukraine will be cut to 4 billion euros ($4.35 billion) in 2025 from around 8 billion euros in 2024, according to a draft of the 2025 budget seen by #Reuters.
Germany hopes Ukraine will be able to meet the bulk of its military needs with the $50 billion in loans from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets approved by the #G7.

Mr #Zelenskiy is due to meet Mr #Biden at the #WhiteHouse on July 11 and is scheduled to deliver an address on the evening of July 10.
After rebuffing calls from some fellow #Democrats for Mr Biden to step down, the White House hopes to turn the focus back to his ability to govern normally.

After the specious arguments above, and with #SupremeCourt #PresidentialImmunity already in the books, the coup de grâce for #Project2025 is shamelessly asking for a #WhiteHouse Counsel who will “protect” the #UnitaryExecutive from ALL 3 branches of government, INCLUDING HIS OWN — the exact opposite of upholding the #USConstitution.
The #WhiteHouse sees him as something of a wild card, and #Macron has called for policy options in #Ukraine that make the #Biden administration nervous.
But in spite of their substantive and cultural differences — and across a yawning, 35-year age gap — the two men have come to trust each other in striking ways.

Asked Monday if the president was sending the wrong message globally by forgoing the #PeaceSummit to attend a glitzy California fundraiser, #WhiteHouse national security spokesman #JohnKirby said “there hasn’t been any single leader around the world who has supported #Ukraine more and more stridently than #JoeBiden.”
