Is sending up fighter jets to respond to a press conference by your dead best friend's sex trafficking victims considered weird or not weird these days. I've lost track.
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday).
Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Trump folded after an agonizing week and what did we get out of it? Nobody can trust a damn thing we say ever again. Our allies now hate us. We are in a trade war with China. Trillions of dollars wiped off the board… for nothing.
No deals were made. This is complete and utter insanity.

He backed down. Not because he realized his idiotic tariffs were a terrible idea, but because he is a wuss.

Reads to me like someone in denial that their idea is 💩, thinking perhaps a little marketing will prime the pump on this persistently dry well.
read the tea leaves however you want but this doesn’t sound like the tone of someone who wants to back down on tariffs to me

See, I have to disagree. Half of all people are below average, so statistically millions of Americans are morons. The blame here is on the nearly half the electorate who purposely voted to put one of them in charge.
Newsom: The world we’ve come to know—and some of us revere and love. The country. All of that is now at risk because of the recklessness—and there’s no other way to describe it—of one individual: the President of the United States.

I commuted daily on the subway in Philadelphia/Camden for years in the 90's during the crack epidemic. Worst thing that ever happened to me was a panhandler taught me how to straighten paper money to feed it through the reader better.
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?

These special election seat flip stories aren't just a fun consolation story. The bigger picture here is a very real possibility of Republicans losing the House even before 2026. That could very well save the nation. They right now only have hold by ONE seat, and life happens.

There's a weird genre of Trump and Trump-related commentary where people write about an aspirational version of the person in question hoping to wish them into existence.
WSJ Edit Board: "Neither [Thomas nor Alito] is likely to resign if he lacks confidence in Mr. Trump’s judgment about who might be his successor. They have too much respect for the law, and the Court, to resign if they think Mr. Trump will nominate a results-first, law-second legal hack."
