I see tomorrow is Friday.
Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?
Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?
I just can’t keep track.

An embarrassed Vance lashed out because Zelenskyy rightly told him Putin has shown he can’t be trusted to respect a cease fire or peace deal — and pointed out Vance has never set foot in Ukraine.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent of all Trump’s Cabinet picks. He's an alcoholic serial abuser who is unqualified for the job, and he will make our nation less safe. This was a completely reckless confirmation.
