America at 250: Stewards, not owners, of freedom

America at 250 is more than a birthday. It is a ledger; a chain of blood, sweat, faith, courage, and generations of Americans choosing the harder right over the easier wrong. Most experiments in self-government fail. They collapse under the weight of corruption, division, debt, invasion, or the rot of people forgetting what freedom requires. […]

‘Shockingly lazy’: Trump’s ‘bizarre nocturnal habits’ uncovered in new analysis

President Donald Trump, who turned 80 last month, made only three public appearances in Washington before 11 a.m. during the entire month of June, according to a Daily Beast analysis of his official schedule and White House pool reports published Friday.The Daily Beast's review found that the president's “shockingly lazy” schedule listed "Executive Time" beginning at 8 a.m. for 26 of the 30 days in June. Public events, when they occurred, were typically scheduled for the afternoon or later. The same pattern held in the preceding months, the outlet found. Trump had "Executive Time" listed on his schedule 26 mornings in May and every day in April. He had public appearances before 11 a.m. on 11 days in May – four of them golf outings and three during a trip to China – and on six days in April.Scheduled morning events have also frequently run late or been canceled, according to the Daily Beast's review. A bill-signing set for June 10 at 10 a.m. was delayed more than an hour. A housing bill signing scheduled for noon on June 24 was called off entirely – Trump announced the cancellation in a social media post sent shortly before 11 a.m., after Republican lawmakers had already set up for the event in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.The White House did not directly address the Daily Beast's questions about the president's schedule or the meaning of "Executive Time." A spokesman sent the outlet a statement describing Trump as sharp and energetic and criticizing past media coverage of former President Joe Biden's health, without addressing Trump's own schedule.The Daily Beast also cited reporting from a recent book on the administration by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which described Trump as a "night owl" prone to staying up through the night on the phone or watching television. On one such occasion, the book recounted, "an aide checked on the President only to find that he was still asleep in the residence." The book also reported that Trump and first lady Melania Trump maintain separate bedrooms at the White House.

Trump kicks off Independence Day with predawn post about Pee-wee Herman

President Donald Trump celebrated the 250th anniversary of the nation he leads by blasting out insulting memes at about 2 a.m.Trump took to Truth Social at 2:11 a.m. precisely to make sure American citizens knew for certain he thinks Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) looks like Pee-wee Herman.The president returned at 2:19 a.m. to remind the nation he believes Rep. James Talarico (D-TX), currently running for the Senate, looks like MAD Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman.For good measure, the leader of the free world blacked out one of Talarico's front teeth.Ossoff has served a vocal critic of Trump in recent weeks as he runs against the president's chosen candidate for Georgia, Rep. Mike Collins.When Trump dubbed Ossoff "Dumocrat Senator, Os(jerk!)off" last month, Ossoff was ready with a retort, focused on the conflict in Iran."The president is humiliated globally by this failed war," said Ossoff. "He’s an increasingly unstable lame duck and a national disgrace.”While Trump may enjoy filling his mornings sharing memes on social media, there is one thing he typically does not do, according to a recent analysis.Trump, 80, made just three public appearances in Washington before 11 a.m. in all of June, according to the Daily Beast.The Daily Beast's review noted his public events were more often slated to take place in the afternoon or later and dubbed his schedule “shockingly lazy."

MAGA investors lost their shirts in 'legal scam' that brought Trump billions

During his first presidency, Donald Trump was a vehement critic of cryptocurrencies — calling Bitcoin a "scam" and saying that cryptos could never hope to compete with the U.S. dollar. But these days, Trump is an aggressive promotor of cryptocurrencies, which have done a lot to increase his net worth since his return to the White House. And the Trump family's crypto-oriented World Liberty Financial, launched in 2024, has made them a fortune.According to the New York Times, however, the "overall results" have been "remarkably bad" for MAGA supporters who invested in a Trump-themed memecoin.Times reporters Eric Lipton and David Yaffe-Bellany, on the Fourth of July 2026, explain, "Nearly 1 million people who bought President Trump's memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion. The analytics firm's assessment was calculated this week after Mr. Trump signed an annual financial disclosure showing that he walked away with a $636 million payout on the same crypto bet, part of a haul of at least $2.2 billion from all of his business ventures in 2025."Trump, Lipton and Yaffe-Bellany report, "profited whether the price of his memecoin went up or down" and "collected returns whenever anyone traded the tokens" — which he promoted on his Truth Social platform. But crypto investor and 2024 Trump voter Nicholas Pinto, according to the Times reporters, wasn't so lucky.Pinto told the Times he invested roughly $500,000 in the $TRUMP digital coin and has lost around half of that investment.Pinto said of Trump, "He is leveraging the power of being president to launch currencies, when he seems trustworthy in the public's eye. It is kind of incredible. It is almost a legal scam."Lipton and Yaffe-Bellany point out that "several crypto ventures…. reeled in profits for Mr. Trump and his allies.""Mr. Trump's total profits from World Liberty reached $799 million last year, according to his financial disclosure, including hundreds of millions from the United Arab Emirates, which secretly moved in early 2025 to buy nearly half the company," the reporters note. "A Trump business entity also collected a 75 percent cut of sales of $WLFI, after the deduction of certain expenses, guaranteeing that Mr. Trump would profit, even if the coin's price ultimately crashed. The losses on World Liberty's coin are more complicated to track."New York University Stephen Gillers said he wouldn't be surprised if Trump and his crypto partners face a class-action lawsuit from investors who lost money.Gillers told the Times, "Trump, back when he was a real estate developer, boasted that he plays 'to people's fantasies.' Here, he seems to have encouraged supporters to invest with the expectation they could anticipate riches — even as he himself was cashing out."
