President Trump said his administration’s new TrumpRx website will offer the cheapest prices in the world for 43 brand-name drugs, and counting. But about half of them are already available as generics, usually for much less.

Daily Beast: Trump is avoiding his top critics by not inviting them to a traditionally bipartisan event. During the National Governors Association meeting later this month, Trump will only convene with Republican governors.

In a city long defined by conflict, Somalia ’s capital of Mogadishu now echoes with the crash of pins at the country’s first modern bowling alley.

It’s the latest sign of revival in the once-thriving Indian Ocean port shaped by 35 years of civil war and militant bombings.

Epstein files reveal emails showing his lawyers asking the CIA to confirm any ties to Jeffrey Epstein. And as I reported last summer: his bodyguard Igor Zinoviev was picking up materials from Langley, Virginia while Epstein sat in jail.

The production value on this halftime show was unbelievable. How they squeeze this in under 13 minutes is beyond me. He not only celebrated the us, but ALL the Americas.

First Draft: 🏈 Bad Trump, Good Bunny

It’s not just the Super Bowl. MAGA’s culture war is epically backfiring. And as a blue wave builds, Trump is only escalating his crackdowns.

Whether seeking to deport migrants without hearings or refusing to spend appropriated funds or unilaterally tearing down the East Wing, Trump has shown scant regard for legal limits on his authority. It’s hardly surprising that he has shown similar indifference to international law. wapo.st/3MsWi3c

The president’s indifference to domestic legal constraints is reflected in his actions outside the U.S.

I thought this Super Bowl commercial was unintentionally hilarious. Asking AI to finish populating a spreadsheet so you can leave work early to celebrate your team winning the Super Bowl is an almost criminal level of malpractice at work. 🤣

The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is about to be thrown from office by his own party. Probably in the next 24hrs.

Not because he’s in the Epstein files, but because he hired someone who was.

That Trump remains President (largely unchallenged) will stain America’s global reputation for 100 years.

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028.

And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

NEW: King Charles heckled in the streets of the UK today about Epstein.

The Prime Minister’s chief of staff & comms director both resigned over the weekend because of Epstein.

There is a very real chance Keir Starmer will not survive the week.

Dear America, this is what consequence looks like.

“What the actual what” is an understatement. And a judge that saw irregularities in documentation that was being disputed just deciding to forgo critical thinking and side with ICE is agog making.

And I have seen enough things that my gog is rarely set agog.
