In order to save his job, Gavin Wax made a Hail Mary call to Boris Epshteyn, Trump’s senior personal counsel, one source told the Mail. The president’s top lawyer stepped in to prevent Wax from being fired, five senior administration officials told the publication. Rubio was infuriated that he couldn’t fire Wax, and has since made it clear that Wax is not welcome in his department, according to three senior administration sources. Via @newrepublic

Teaming up with small businesses in my district, from Edgewater to Brickell, to collect pet supply donations for dogs and cats displaced by the twin earthquakes in Venezuela. To support the relief effort, we are partnering with local businesses to serve as donation drop off locations. Beginning Monday, June 29, drop boxes will be available in front of neighborhood shops, with additional locations announced as more partners join. Donations can be dropped off any day, any time, and will be flown daily to Caracas for distribution to pets in need. 100 percent of donations will go directly to animals affected. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking images of families trying to save their pets amid the devastation, while many animals remain without food, shelter, or care. While we cannot be there in person, we can help meet their most urgent needs. Please consider donating: • Dry and canned dog and cat food • Treats • Blankets • Leashes and collars • Pet wipes • Toys Every donation makes a difference. Thank you for your support. Angie Me estoy asociando con pequeños negocios en mi distrito, desde Edgewater hasta Brickell, para recolectar donaciones de suministros para mascotas destinadas a perros y gatos desplazados por los terremotos en Venezuela. Para apoyar el esfuerzo de ayuda, estamos trabajando con negocios locales para servir como puntos de entrega de donaciones. A partir del lunes 29 de junio, habrá cajas de recolección en la entrada de tiendas del vecindario, con nuevas ubicaciones que se anunciarán a medida que más socios se sumen. Las donaciones pueden entregarse cualquier día y a cualquier hora, y serán enviadas diariamente a Caracas para su distribución a las mascotas que lo necesitan. El 100 por ciento de las donaciones irá directamente a los animales afectados. Todos hemos visto las imágenes desgarradoras de familias tratando de salvar a sus mascotas en medio de la devastación, mientras muchos animales permanecen sin alimento, refugio o cuidados. Aunque no podemos estar allí en persona, sí podemos ayudar a cubrir sus necesidades más urgentes. Por favor considere donar: • Alimento seco y enlatado para perros y gatos • Premios • Mantas • Correas y collares • Toallitas para mascotas • Juguetes
