Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew rejects White House portrayal of her after ICE arrest
Bruna Ferreira, who was released from ICE custody Monday on bond, denies claims that she’s an absentee parent
The Brazilian-born mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew – who was recently detained by US immigration authorities – has rejected the Trump administration’s characterizations of her as an absentee parent.
Bruna Ferreira, who was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in November during a traffic stop in Massachusetts and was being held at a Louisiana detention center, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the White House’s statements that she had never lived with her son or spoken with Leavitt “in many years” were incorrect.
Ferreira, 33, had a relationship with Leavitt’s brother, 35-year-old Michael Leavitt. They had a son, Michael Leavitt Jr, now aged 11.

What I don't get is why it took them decades to figure this out. Why have they been giving us sugar substitutes without understanding what they have been doing to us? Why were these approved for use in the first place?

This is the correct comment. People are very quick to demonize food and food manufacturers, and I'm not saying they aren't making money on stuff that could be bad for us, but my understanding is that a lot of food additives that people worry about have been proven safe at reasonable consumption levels.

A Frustrated Congress Pushes the Pentagon to Produce Its Boat Strike Orders [NYT Gift Article]
The annual defense policy bill [...] would withhold 25 percent of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget if he failed to give the congressional national security committees a copy of the execute orders behind the strikes, or to outline how he planned to facilitate future briefings about the operation with lawmakers in accordance with federal law.
[...]
Federal law requires the Defense Department to send execute orders to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees within 15 days of the defense secretary issuing the orders, but officials have failed to do so in the case of the boat strikes. The law also mandates that if the top Republicans or Democrats on the committees were to specifically request such an order, the department would have 30 days to comply, another timeline that the Trump administration has ignored.

I mean aside from all that nonsense, how could they possibly get away with declaring an energy emergency so they can increase drilling on federal lands and then shut down a whole bunch of renewable energy projects?? It's infuriating
Kushner role in bid for Warner Bros raises ethical questions, experts say
ared Kushner's financing role in Paramount's $108 billion bid for Warner Bros Discovery injects Trump-family interests into one of the biggest media battles in years, raising concerns over whether the president's influence could tip the scales.
Paramount Skydance (PSKY.O), opens new tab on Monday launched a hostile bid for Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O), opens new tab in a last-ditch effort to outbid Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab and create a media powerhouse.
Paramount said its offer includes financing from Kushner's investment firm Affinity Partners, along with financing from the Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth funds and L'imad Holding Co., owned by Abu Dhabi.
Trump told reporters on Monday that he has not spoken with Kushner about Warner Bros Discovery, adding that neither Netflix or Paramount "are friends of mine." A day earlier, Trump said he would be involved in a decision on Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros studios and streaming assets.

On the one hand, he is a very old man.
But on the other hand, this shit is incredibly boring.
I'm genuinely aghast when I see these long-table high profile Trump photo-op board meetings. Like, I would fucking hate to be at that table, if for no other reason than waiting in a long line to kiss the President's ass when you're worth multiple billions of dollars would feel so humiliating.
But I guess that's the real path to power. All that "hustle and grind" is just getting up at 4am in the morning to whisper "Yes" into the ear of the guy higher than you on the totem pole.
