Wednesday Reads: What a Mess Trump Has Made of Our Beloved Country!
Good Day!!
Were moving closer to the midterm elections. Yesterday, there were some important primaries in Texas. Another of Trumps enemiesJohn Cornynwent down in flames, and now hell join other losers like Bill Cassidy who are now free to criticize his policies. Is it possible that Texas could turn purple in 2026 Heres the latest:
Shane Goldmacher at The New York Times (gift article):
Ken Paxton, the Trump-endorsed and MAGA-backed insurgent, ousted Senator John Cornyn in a runoff on Tuesday, becoming the second primary challenger to knock out an incumbent Republican senator in less than two weeks in a raw display of President Trumps powerful hold on the party base.
Texas Senator John Cornyn
The contest was the most expensive primary in American history and Mr. Paxton prevailed despite being outspent on advertising by pro-Cornyn forces by roughly $80 million.
Now, Republicans are bracing for a potentially competitive general election in Texas, where Democrats have not won statewide in a generation. Democratic donors nationwide have swooned for their nominee, James Talarico, a smooth-talking 37-year-old seminarian and state legislator, in the hopes he will realize their long-dashed dreams of turning Texas blue.
National Republicans have warned for months that Mr. Paxtons scandal-riddled past could put the Republican-held seat in jeopardy. But G.O.P. primary voters proved on Tuesday that they were in no mood for political guidance from Mr. Cornyn or a much-reviled party establishment.
The scope of his defeat was staggering. Mr. Cornyn, once the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, was trailing in nearly all of Texas 254 counties.
Here are Goldmachers takeways from the election. You can read more details on each with the gift link above.

Commentary on the Texas elections:
Matthew Choi at The Washington Post (gift article):
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won the Republican Senate primary in his state Tuesday night, ousting incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
Paxton excited President Trump and his MAGA base. But many Republican leaders and strategists are worried.
Few politicians have garnered as much scandal in Texas as Paxton. He was impeached by the Republican-controlled state House on multiple charges of abuse of office. His own senior staffers reported him to the FBI, alleging he illegally used his position to help a prominent donor. His wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, filed for divorce last year on biblical grounds, citing adultery.
Ken Paxton
And yet, Paxton has repeatedly come out on top. The state Senate acquitted him on all charges, and the FBI dropped its investigation. Paxton won reelection for his current job twice and defeated Cornyn, one of the best-funded Republicans in the country, with a fraction of the resources and institutional support.
Senate Republicans are now nervous theyll have to pour boatloads of cash into the race to prop up Paxton against state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic candidate in the race. Talarico has blown past fundraising records for a contest that is likely to break spending records.
Why is Paxton so controversial
The state House impeached Paxton in 2023 on overwhelmingly bipartisan grounds, with 60 Republicans joining 61 Democrats. Only 21 Republicans voted against impeachment charges.
The charges stemmed from his relationship with Nate Paul, a real estate developer and political donor. Paxton allegedly ordered his employees to improperly intervene in Pauls legal troubles. Paul allegedly provided Paxton free services including a home renovation and a job for a woman with whom Paxton was allegedly having an extramarital affair. Paxton was also charged with retaliating against whistleblowers on his staff who had reported his conduct to the FBI in 2020.
Paxton was tried on 16 charges in the Senate, which acquitted him on all of them. His wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, was part of the Senate jury, though she was not allowed to vote.
The Justice Department continued investigating the allegations made by his senior staff to the FBI but closed its investigation at the end of the Biden administration.
Paxton was also indicted on felony securities fraud charges just after becoming attorney general in 2015. He was charged, as a state senator, with defrauding his fellow lawmakers by encouraging them to invest in Servergy, a tech company where he was secretly making a commission on their investments. He agreed to settle the case in 2024, paying $300,000 in restitution, though he never admitted to any wrongdoing. That case was unrelated to his impeachment.
Its hard to believe this guy is still in office. But Trump likes him, and I guess thats enough for Texas Republican voters.
Karen Tumulty at The Washington Post (gift article):
President Donald Trump proved once again that his endorsement is, as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton put it in his Tuesday night, the most powerful force in politics.
One by one, Trump is putting an end to the political careers of lawmakers in his party that he deems, for reasons more personal than policy-oriented, to be apostates. But in doing so, he may also be liberating them as they serve out their remaining seven months in Congress. They now have nothing to lose if they stand up against him.
By giving belated independence to a handful of incumbents he vanquished at the ballot box or forced into retirement, the president is creating a growingly noxious dynamic between the two ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Thom Tillis
Its hard for me to see how the president is going to get his agenda through the Senate in the next seven months if he keeps purging Republican senators who support him, former senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee) told CBS News last week. I think Republican senators will find they can say what they think and the country will be better off if they do.
In his Trump-engineered defeat, Sen. John Cornyn joins a club of two other Republicans in the chamber, where their party holds a 53-47 majority. The other two are already expressing resistance to the presidents dictates.
One is Thom Tillis (North Carolina). Under a barrage of Trump attacks for opposing parts of the presidents agenda including the sprawling One Big Beautiful Bill that was its domestic centerpiece Tillis announced his retirement last year rather than making what was deemed to be a hopeless bid for a third term.
Tillis has since become a regular Trump critic. He has criticized the Justice Departments which could allow the Trump supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to receive taxpayer dollars, as stupid on stilts and said: These people dont deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison.
Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), who failed to even make the runoff in his partys May 16 primary, voted for the first time a few days later to advance a resolution to block Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran without congressional authorization.

Paxton will now face Democrat James Talarico in November.
Adam Wren and Irie Sentner at Politico:
In the end, James Talarico and Democrats got the matchup they had been salivating over for months.
Within two hours of Ken Paxtons GOP primary win on Tuesday, Talarico had hauled in $600,000 the strongest two hours of his entire campaign. Recent internal polling from a pro-Talarico PAC shows the Democrat has a 7-point lead against Paxton. Both figures were shared first with POLITICO.
In an interview, Talarico said hes confident about his chances.
But Talarico faces a Texas-sized challenge to finally deliver on Democrats long-held fantasy of flipping the state, just two years after Trump won it by 14 points.
James Talarico
Talarico said Tuesday night that to win in November, he must convert supporters of Sen. John Cornyn a conservative by almost any metric, except Trumps. After Cornyn conceded, Talarico for his service and told his supporters you have a place in our campaign.
Its all part of his general election pitch, which Talarico outlined in the interview following Paxtons primary win.
I have a legislative record that I think has a lot to offer supporters of Senator Cornyn. Ken Paxton has a criminal record. I have a legislative record, Talarico told POLITICO (). He emphasized his history reaching across the aisle to cut property taxes and raise teacher pay and lower the cost of housing and child care and prescription drugs, and touted his willingness to break with Democrats on issues including energy and the border that are important in Texas.
Ive called out the extremes in both parties, on the right and left, and as you know, called out President Biden for failing to secure our southern border, he said. Ive pushed back against national Democrats who want to hurt the Texas oil and gas industry and so I think that Texans are looking for a senator who is going to be independent, whos not going to serve a political party, not going to serve any special interests or megadonors, but whos going to serve people of Texas.
Well have to wait and see. The dream of Texas going blue again has been with us for a long time, but so far it hasnt come close to happening.
New York Times elections expert Nate Cohn thinks it could happen (gift article):
Could Texas really turn blue in 2026
While its tempting to be skeptical, a blue Texas is increasingly easy to imagine. Its even easier to imagine after Ken Paxtons over John Cornyn, the incumbent senator, in the Republican primary runoff on Tuesday night.
Thats partly because Mr. Paxton, the state attorney general, has distinct political liabilities. Hes faced investigation, and a messy .
But theres another reason Democrats might pull off a statewide win for the first time in three decades: demographics. Texas is one of the most diverse states in the country, and national polls show Democrats surging back in support among young and nonwhite voters and especially Hispanic voters.
On paper, these national demographic trends ought to send Texas racing toward the left and into contention. Add in Mr. Paxtons nomination and you can start to see how Democrats could flip Texas this fall.
After a decade of big talk from Democrats about Texas, its understandable that people could harbor some doubt about flipping the nations largest red state. Judging by presidential election results, Democrats barely made any progress at all: President Trump by almost 14 percentage points in 2024.
But beneath the states stable Republican voting record, extraordinary demographic shifts have put Texas Republicans in a much more vulnerable position. To an extent few would have imagined a decade ago, Texas status as a reliably Republican state now depends on elevated levels of support among Hispanic voters.

Lets face it. Democrats have to take back the House if we are to have any hope of impeaching Trump. They need to take the Senate too, but even if that happens, they wont have the votes to remove him. Nevertheless, I think its important to impeach him. Democrats need to do everything in their power to weaken Trump, because he obviously has no plans to leave the White House unless he is dragged out or carried out on a stretcher.
Iran war news:
The Trump administration and the Iran government disagree about what is in their supposed peace agreement.
Erika Solomon, Sanam Mahoozi, and Leo Sands:
Iranian state television on Wednesday released what it said were details of an initial, unofficial document outlining the framework for an agreement between Iran and the United States that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic.
The White House immediately dismissed the report as a complete fabrication, and it was not clear whether the United States and Iran were any closer to an agreement.
Irans state broadcaster, IRIB, said that under the framework, Iran would allow shipping to resume through the strait in return for an end to the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. For days, the two sides have been alternating between renewing hostilities and issuing positive signals.
In its framing of the draft, the broadcaster presented it as a broad victory for Iran while cautioning that it was not final.
The report said that, under the agreement, commercial marine traffic would return to prewar levels within a month of the frameworks implementation. It also said that Iran would handle the straits management in cooperation with the , a U.S. ally.
A bit more:
The reopening of the strait was the only in negotiations that was mentioned in the brief report. The waterway is a crucial route for the worlds oil and gas that Iran has effectively closed since March. There was no reference to the future of Irans nuclear program and its stockpile of enriched uranium
The report said the framework included a U.S. pledge to withdraw its military forces from the areas surrounding Iran without specifying the geographic area included. The United States has a number of military sites in neighboring Iraq and nearby Gulf countries.
Whether this includes forces newly deployed to the region or only permanent base personnel remains subject to negotiation, the report said.
Trump called a cabinet meeting to discuss the situation.
The New York Times:
Iranian state television said Wednesday that it had obtained a draft of a preliminary deal with the United States, which the White House quickly dismissed as untrue, calling the described memorandum a complete fabrication amid tense negotiations.
Trump speaks at cabinet meeting he called to discuss the Iran a proposed agreement with Iran.
According to the reported draft, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial marine traffic in return for the United States lifting its naval blockade. Irans broadcaster projected the initial, unofficial 14-point agreement as one in which Iran cemented its power in the Strait, while laying out a potential path to peace with the United States.
President Trump dismissed the idea of letting Russia or China take control of Irans nuclear stockpiles.
No, that would not make me comfortable, he said, when asked if he could accept that step.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, sitting next to the president at the cabinet meeting, also did not offer details on the negotiations with Iran. I think theres been some progress and some interest, and well see over the next few hours and days whether progress could be made, he said. Rubio said that diplomacy was the administrations preference but added, You have other options available to you if that doesnt work.
What a mess Trump has created!
Some of the current messes:
AP:
Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by , he was on his fourth day of isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers and chills of COVID-19.
His request for mental health treatment had been put off, records show, and staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.
This photo provided by the Missouri State Highway Patrol shows a note written in Spanish by Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee Brayan Rayo Garzon asking for a phone call with his mother before he committed suicide.
He pleaded with his jailers in handwritten notes to arrange a conversation with her. I feel in my heart that shes very worried about me, he wrote in Spanish.
A guard collected the note and walked away. Within an hour, jail records show, he was found unconscious in his cell. An autopsy determined he killed himself.
Rayos April 2025 death was the first suicide in a spike among ICE detainees that has alarmed public health officials and jail experts. They said the unprecedented number of suicide deaths is an indication that authorities are the detention of tens of thousands of immigrants swept up in the Trump administrations .
An found that at least 10 detainees, all men, have died by suicide since took office in January 2025, a pace that far exceeds the growth in the detainee population, according to a review of ICE data, autopsy reports, coroners rulings and police records. Since October, seven deaths have been classified as suicides, a number that is already the most for any fiscal year in the agencys history. ICE has usually recorded one or no such deaths annually. Something is going profoundly wrong from any kind of public health or mental health perspective, said Dr. Sanjay Basu, a University of California-San Francisco epidemiologist who cowrote a study documenting the increase in mortality and suicide rates among ICE detainees. This is one of those alarming, sudden increases.
The Daily Beast:
Donald Trump is pulling out bombers and warships set aside to help NATO, according to a report.
The president is also planning to withdraw fighter jets and refueling aircraft, after becoming incensed to back his war in Iran, reported.
An envoy of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Alexander Velez-Green, informed senior officials from NATO member states of the withdrawal at a meeting last week in Brussels, Belgium, according to the German outlet.
The number of fighter jets will reduced by a third and the number of strategic bombers halved, Der Spiegel reported.
All submarines will be pulled out, and the destroyer count will also be reduced.
Putin must be thrilled.
The New York Times: Trump
The Trump administration plans to send to Kenya U.S. citizens exposed to the Ebola virus rather than bring them home for observation and treatment, according to three people with knowledge of the plans.
The approach is a stark contrast to the way previous administrations responded to outbreaks, during which health care workers and other U.S. citizens exposed to the virus at specialized medical units. The administration this month flew an American doctor who developed symptoms to a hospital in Germany, and transported six other Americans for monitoring in Germany and the Czech Republic.
Ebola virus
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is estimated to have ballooned to more than 1,000 cases and more than 200 deaths in just the 11 days since it was first announced, making it the third largest on record already. Aid cuts by the Trump administration shut down crucial disease surveillance networks and medical supply chains that might have the epidemic sooner.
Last week, the Trump administration known as Title 42 to bar immigrants and who had been in Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in the previous 21 days from entering the United States.
The administrations new plan would also keep U.S. citizens who might have been exposed to Ebola out of the country, according to two of the people with knowledge of the plans, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
A few dozen officers are now being trained to deploy to Kenya to provide medical care to Americans who are deemed at high risk of developing Ebola. The initial plan was to monitor those Americans in Kenya, but to move anyone who started to show symptoms for treatment in Europe.
Because we no longer have a real CDC, and Trump, Musk, and RFK, Jr. fired all the disease experts.
The administration is looking for volunteers (!) to screen for Ebola cases at airports. Reuters:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked staff to volunteer for urgent deployment to support Ebola screening at the countrys entry points, according to an email seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
CDC Acting Director Jay Bhattacharya said in the email that the agency had activated a Level 2 emergency response on May 18 to an outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, and was expanding recruitment beyond its usual emergency responder pool as screening of selected international arrivals ramps up.
Level 2 is an intermediate level of emergency response. It indicates a need for substantial additional staffing to meet response demands, according to the CDCs website.
The CDC said enhanced screening operations are already under way at several port health stations and will require additional personnel. Staff across roles, including public health advisers, emergency specialists and licensed medical providers, are being asked to support the effort, subject to supervisor approval.
Volunteers could be tasked with monitoring incoming travelers for signs of illness, checking temperatures and referring suspected cases for further assessment, according to the email.
Unbelievable. Ebola remains dormant for weeks after exposure. What if people dont report exposures or dont realize theyve been exposed Were going to have a lot of Ebola cases here, arent we
One more from The Guardian:
Construction is under way on the White House lawn for an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) arena that will host a cage match next month to mark the USs 250th anniversary and Donald Trumps 80th birthday.
The mixed martial arts fight is planned for 14 June.
Photos of cranes and other construction equipment on the White House lawn on Tuesday showed the beginnings of the temporary construction. Trump has said that the finished project will feature a 5,000-seat arena right outside the front door of the White House.
Online depict what the completed, wire-mesh-fence-ringed fight space is expected to look like. The octagon-shaped cage will be ringed by a red, white and blue stage under a towering arch featuring stars and stripes patterns and two large screens carrying the action live.
The cage and stage will themselves be surrounded by thousands of temporary seats, including ringside space for a full marching band that can set the entire scene to blaring music.
In December, Trump the White House event would host eight or nine championship fights the biggest fights theyve ever had. But like the size of the crowd, the number of fights expected to be held on the White House
lawn has shrunk. : a lightweight championship fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje in the main event, and an interim heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane.
This is beyond disgusting. I feel like Im going to throw up.
Ill end there, even though there are plenty more Trump messes that someone will have to clean up. Hang in there everyone. We can and will survive!

The New Republic Trumps Board of Peace Is Collecting Money in Shadiest Way Possible by Edith Olmsted
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Trumps socalled Board of Peace fund, created under a World Bankbacked United Nations framework to finance a Gaza reconstruction plan, has received no money in its official account, and the promised billions from donor countries have largely never materialized. Instead, the board is funneling donations through a nontransparent JPMorgan account, with financial reporting left to the discretion of its executive board that includes close Trump allies such as JaredKushner and SteveWitkoff. Reported contributions $20million from Morocco for the office of the highrepresentative NickolayMladenov and $100million from the United Arab Emirates for police training remain frozen, while the U.S. State Departments pledged $50million for operations and a planned $1.2billion reallocation have not been transferred to the board. Congressional sources say the fund is effectively a slush pool for Trumps supporters, with no oversight, and the money promised for turning Gaza into a luxuryhotel corridor is nowhere in sight.

Americas Pax Silica Prompts P7 Billion Power Expansion In New Clark City
Pax Silica the United States Pax Silica flagship effort on artificial intelligence (AI) and supply chain security that prompted the P7 billion investment of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to ensure a stable power supply for in Tarlac province, according to a .
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) plans to invest nearly 7 billion in a dedicated substation to guarantee a stable power supply for New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac, anticipating a surge in demand from a planned artificial intelligence (AI) industrial hub.
Joshua Bingcang, president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), said the investment promotion agency is currently in talks with NGCP to finalize the projects details. The grid operator is drafting the alignment plan for the substation, which Bingcang noted should be finalized soon.
Our target with them is by the end of 2028, the dedicated power connection should be already installed in New Clark City, he told reporters last week.
Bingcang added that the BCDA initially offered to fund the project to jump-start construction, with NGCP reimbursing the agency later. However, NGCP declined the offer because the substation is already integrated into its capital expenditures.
Under its Transmission Development Plan 2024 to 2050, NGCP outlined plans to construct the Capas 230-kilovolt (kV) substation to meet the growing power needs of the emerging metropolis. According to the plan, NGCP will allocate 6.95 billion to develop the facility.
To facilitate the project, Bingcang said the BCDA is offering land along the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) to ensure an unimpeded route for the transmission line into New Clark City. Once operational, the substation is expected to give locators in the AI hub the confidence to manufacture high-value inputs without risking operational pauses due to power shortages.
The AI hub will span more than 1,600 hectares within New Clark City as part of the United States-led Pax Silica partnership, which aims to encourage investment among member countries to bolster the global AI supply chain.
To meet the sites massive energy requirements, Bingcang said the BCDA expects a foreign investor to build a solar energy project capable of generating up to 500 megawatts. Furthermore, the agency is drafting plans for an embedded power plant to secure baseload power and enhance the hubs overall energy reliability.
In a separate interview with Business 360, Bingcang disclosed that the BCDA is also negotiating with US investors to construct a dedicated pipeline to transport jet fuel from Subic Bay to Clark International Airport, supporting the logistics needs of companies within the AI hub. The agency is also exploring a separate pipeline along SCTEX to deliver fuel or liquefied natural gas.
Additionally, the BCDA is advancing a public-private partnership (PPP) project for New Clark Citys information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. According to a bid bulletin published by the PPP Center, the agency aims to conclude the procurement process for a joint venture partner to lay fiber-optic cables across the city by August.
Bingcang noted that all of these infrastructure projects were requested by the US during preliminary talks for the AI hub. Following a visit to the 1,600-hectare site last week, the US will send engineering personnel next month to conduct a site assessment and design a concept plan for the industrial zone.
Parallel to these technical studies, we will also finalize the commercial arrangement and contractual framework for the project. Within the year, we will be announcing a definitive contract arrangement with the US, Bingcang said.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development Do you think Pax Silica will prompt further infrastructure and energy developments related with New Clark City as the initiative develops further Do you think there is room for nuclear power to considered in the years to come

With the Texas primaries, Trump has the Gop in his hand.
AGI - Republican Senator John Cornyn has become the latest victim of retribution by U.S. President Donald Trump, after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton decisively defeated the senator in the Republican primary runoff for the Senate seat. According to Decision Desk HQ, Paxton secured approximately 64 percent of the vote, with over 95 percent of ballots counted late Tuesday night.
The state attorney general who received last-minute endorsement from the president but has been plagued by numerous controversies, with accusations of corruption and abuse of power beat the senior Republican senator just days after other Trump-backed candidates had already eliminated him as opponents in the primaries: Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, and Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. And this despite Cornyn having voted approximately 92 percent with the loyal majority backing Trump.
But the president showed he doesnt much care for small concessions. During the campaign, Cornyn had sought Trumps support and highlighted his alignment with him. The president, however, in his last-minute support for Paxton, openly expressed his complaints about the senator, calling him a good man but adding that he wasnt near when things got tough.
**Trumps Congratulations**
The tycoon congratulated Paxton today, thanking the defeated candidate: John will be my friend for a long time, while together we will see Paxton become a fantastic and sensible senator, respected by all, he wrote on his social platform Truth. With this success, Fox News reported, there are 110 candidates backed by the president who have won the primaries. None of those who received his support lost the race, signaling that the tycoon still has full control of the base and the party.
But even if Trump had another positive evening, Republicans now face a particularly risky Senate race in Texas, which will likely force the party to divert resources from other key elections in the fall. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has already revised its assessment slightly to favor Democrats, after Paxtons victory, although the Grand Old Party, as the Republican Party is known, remains the favorite for the November elections. But if Trump won for a day, from now until November, the majority will have to reckon with the revenge of the purged: the same Cornyn could make his vote count in the future. And the same applies to Cassidy and Massie.
Alas, this has become all too true. It seems that the only litmus test for party membership is not a commitment to a set of principles, but fealty to Donald Trump and his whims. This ain't the Republican Party that it was when I was a sophomore at high school. My home state of Texas just proved it's no different here.
The Guardian Trumps corruption leaves us cynical and complacent Judith Levine by Judith Levine
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article argues that Donald Trumps recent actions constitute an unprecedented level of presidential corruption and impunity, exemplified by his creation of a $1.776billion antiweaponization slush fund that uses taxpayer money to repay friends and possibly Jan.6 participants in exchange for legal protection, as well as his willingness to divert public funds for personal projects like a privatelyfunded White House ballroom and a triumphal arch without congressional approval. The piece contends that this unchecked selfdealing erodes the rule of law, fuels popular cynicism, and normalizes autocratic behavior, warning that such cynicism can lead to fatalistic compliance that ultimately empowers the autocrat. It calls for a rejection of complacent cynicism and a renewed, hardwon pessimism that acknowledges the depth of the problem while seeking winnable battles against authoritarian drift.
