In a rambling speech, President Trump announced that America “is going to start producing [weapons] much faster” than before. Trump then went on to claim that he was the “king” of Boeing.

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

So when he says “the real polls have me at 65 percent,” he knows he’s lying
Trump to House Republicans: "Most of you are in this business longer than me. That makes me smarter than you. Because look where I am, right? No it doesn't. But I wish you could explain to me what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy."

RFK Jr didn’t even have his hand-picked ACIP recommend these changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, but had “unnamed officials” who are so ashamed they spoke off the record. RFK Jr & Trump cannot escape responsibility for the thousands of dead or disabled children this will cause. #Ivax2protect
RFK Jr's HHS had a press call to announce they were — based on no new data — overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule. Senior officials at HHS answered questions but refused to go on the record, saying we could only attribute the quotes to "officials." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
U.S. overhauls childhood vaccine schedule, recommends fewer shots
The U.S. no longer broadly recommends vaccines for flu, hepatitis A and B, and RSV. Health officials say the guidance aligns with that of peer countries.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
