'Teamsters president Sean O’Brien accused then-Vice President Kamala Harris of pressuring his union for an endorsement...He described one off-putting encounter a Teamsters leader had with the 2024 presidential candidate in a photo op line:
"So, Joan goes in the line and Joan says, 'I'm Joan Corey. I'm a vice president with the Teamsters Union,' and [Harris] pointed her finger at Joan and said, 'Teamsters better get on board,' and so Joan says, 'Excuse me?' 'Yeah, Teamsters better get on board. I don't know why you haven't endorsed me yet.' So she comes back, and she tells me this, and I'm like, 'The nerve!'"...O’Brien paraphrased her closing as essentially telling the union leadership, "‘Listen, I’m going to win with you or without you.’"
"And it was like such a smug answer, like, okay, and that turned the majority of the people in that room off her," he said. O’Brien then described their postmortem of the meeting, noting that many in the union leadership were turned off by Harris’ smug demeanor and body language.'

"There will be more to come," he vowed. "And I think that people should expect that the Trump administration will continue to shed transparency, and light, and truth."

Enten said that Trump's immigration policies factor into Trump's significant influence as well. ...How about net migration in the United States? Get this, it's down. It's going to be down at least 60%. We may be dealing with, get this, negative net migration to the United States in 2025," Enten said.
He continued, "That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years. We're talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024. So Donald Trump has always run on tariffs, and he's running a hawkish line on immigration. '

Article Excerpt: "After driver’s licenses and other state-issued forms of ID were required to meet REAL ID standards to fly in May, reports emerged of American military retirees facing additional screening at airports. ...After using official retired military IDs, which lack expiration dates and are labeled ‘indefinite,” retiree ID cards are reportedly interpreted as expired by TSA computers, because they are not recognized as a REAL ID. ...Spencer added, “I don’t recall them [federal officials] sharing any information about it. So, it’s like we have this big unknown that a lot of us over 65 retirees maybe don’t know about.”
While the Department of Homeland Security’s website insists retired military IDs will continue to be accepted at TSA checkpoints"
