I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

WELL DONE #ShoheiOhtani — from a lifelong #Reds fan! ❤️🤍💙🤍
Shohei Ohtani just played perhaps the greatest game in the history of baseball, Peter Wehner argues. But Ohtani’s “performance shouldn’t be of interest just to sports fans. His triumph offers all of us a ray of hope at a troubled time.”
A Truly Awesome Performance
Shohei Ohtani’s extraordinary game might be just what we all needed right now.

There’s simply no such thing as being an alarmist these days when it comes to this administration. I used to think I was an alarmist, now I just think I was right. Hell, it’s even *worse* than I thought it would be.

With Social Security, don't get too caught up talking about the minutiae.
THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY.
Lead with that every time, then talk about how: removing offices, ID verification, bogus fraud claims, layoffs, etc.
Set the narrative now. It's not alarmist. It's happening.

Background on Trump and the Perkins Coie order:
If you haven’t been afraid yet — get afraid now. Dog-whistling the press and suggesting they are influencing judges against HIM should terrify you.
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."
