Famously, in tabloid journalism, three is a trend and I can now definitively declare that MAGA can’t cook. And these are the “foods” they are proud of and want to show off! No wonder they want to rid the country of immigrants and their dangerous seasonings.

Two important bombshell exposés. But the meta story is almost as important: the ship of state - namely DOD and State - is leaking.

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.

There were two bylines on that story. One of them was a guy. But Trump singles out the woman, and he brands her ugly. This is who the man is.

Two things about this Hegseth statement:
I think it’s very interesting that he used his personal account and not his “secretary of war” account.
But also I don’t understand the thing about not being retired. You can leave the service and not be retired?

Of all the people to attack, a sitting US Senator, husband of a congresswoman who survived being shot in the head, a former Naval aviator who flew 39 combat missions and a freaking actual honest to god astronaut who’s been to space four times!
These are not bright guys.

The judge mentions Trump‘s bizarre and subsequently deleted Truth Social post - an apparently mistaken attempt to direct message his Attorney General - but I can’t find any other reference to it.

Now that real reporters have been kicked out of the Pentagon for refusing to report only authorized news, we have to depend on tweets from people from Newsnation. No idea if this is reliable. But it’s worrying.

Tina Peters is 70, a decade younger than Trump.
(Also she was convicted by a jury of using her authority as country clerk to turn off security cameras and give a Q Anon loony access to voting machine hard drives.)

A lot of people say the New Deal was strong but I think me and my friend the socialist mayor can do better - the Beautiful Deal. Even newer and better. No one has ever seen anything like it. Everyone is going to say good about it.
