Democrats and other Donald Trump critics reacted incredulously to a New York Times report on Sunday that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner, the president's influential son-in-law, to discuss possible areas of collaboration. The meeting comes months ahead of the November midterm elections in which Democrats are favored to retake the US House, a development that would make Jeffries speaker. If they are in the majority, Democrats are expected to use their oversight power to aggressively investigate the Trump administration, including self-enrichment by the president and his family. There are longstanding conflict-of-interest concerns about the way Kushner has continued to make money from foreign nations as he works on foreign affairs, including conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and Gaza.


"President Donald Trump has faced scrutiny for bruising on his hands, swelling in his ankles and apparent drowsiness, among other questions about his health. Some doctors say they're worried about another risk: the 23 pounds that Trump may have gained since his last campaign for president," the Washington Post reports. "In August 2023, when he was charged in Georgia in an election interference case, Trump's booking record listed his weight as 215 pounds. He weighed 238 pounds in May of this year, according to a medical report released by the White House that month."

President Donald Trump on Friday answered a reporter's question about calming the turbulent bond market by saying he'll use military force. Trump was asked whether he had spoken with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about "another type of intervention" after bond yields climbed back to multi-year highs. "The ultimate intervention is our military," Trump said. "And if we have to use that, we will." The remark came as Trump seems to be escalating his military posture against Iran. Bessent told CNBC on Thursday that the U.S. likely would not need to restart large-scale combat with Iran, hours after Trump declared "economic D-day" on the country.

She also promoted Rudy Giuliani's call, "let's have trial by combat!" during his speech, although lawyers for Giuliani later asserted his call was "hyperbolic," and not a call for violence. When the president began to speak, Harp tweeted, "FIGHT FOR TRUMP!" a dozen times within a single post, adding, "Today D.C. is TRUMP COUNTRY!" She live tweeted the president's speech: "We will never give up. We will never concede!"

And after a pro-Trump mob forced its way into the US Capitol, Harp shared tweets insisting the rioters were "not Trump supporters," and circulated false reports that Antifa had infiltrated the mob.
