The goal should be to repeat it so often that some reporter slips and asks Leavitt about the "Epstein Ballroom."

Extra question: did hegseth and miller demand that the admiral overseeing this mass murder campaign resign for picking up survivors. Seems like kind of a big deal

The military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea that the Trump administration says are smuggling drugs said on Thursday that he was stepping down.

So is the plan here just to make snarky comments about Matt Stoller, or do any of the Democrats who control half the country’s elected offices or businesses that control the other 90% of the economy have any plan to fight back against Trump literally seizing control of the free market for himself

SCOOP: A Trump official tells
@nypost
that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

The main issue with this is the logistical nightmare it would create

How would these troops be supplied? Where would they stay? How would they be organized and deployed?

There aren't enough National Guard troops to occupy every major metro area, much less every city

It's about making you afraid

Hegseth doesn't dispute the existence of a memo planning for the establishment of a "National Guard response force that's gonna be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026."

Tonight a rocket landed inside the synagogue of Kherson crashing through the roof while some community members were inside. Miraculously, it did not detonate.

Impact of the rocket in the synagogue of Kherson. Unsure of the exact model, looks like a 122 mm variant.

NEW: Letitia James's attorneys ask the court to limit further govt disclosures in the wake of Signal messages sent by "purported interim U.S. Attorney Halligan" to @annabower.bsky.social. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What precipitates this motion now is a digital messaging exchange that occurred after the
government brought charges, between purported interim U.S. Attorney Halligan and Anna Bower, a senior journalist for Lawfare, published on Monday, October 20, 2025.4 The article and the texts between the two are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively. As reported and as confirmed by
the Signal messages exchanged between Ms. Halligan and Ms. Bower, it was Ms. Halligan who
initiated contact with the journalist—an unusual and improper occurrence.
The exchange was a stunning disclosure of internal government information. On October 111, 2025- two days after charging Attorney General James with Bank Fraud and False Statements to a Financial Institution—Ms. Halligan reached out to Ms. Bower to claim she was "reporting

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

TIL Charles Osborne had the hiccups non-stop for approximately 68 years, from 1922 to
1990. His hiccups first started in 1922 while weighing a hog for slaughter. He fell and busted a blood vessel in his brain resulting in him damaging a small part of the brain that inhibits the hiccup response

Wait wait wait. You're telling me that the default is Yes Hiccups, and there's a part of the brain that's specifically designed to say No Hiccups instead?

A screenshot from the linked story. The texts says:

Platner has also drawn scrutiny for appearing in a photo this summer with a white supremacist agitator in Maine, Richard Ward, who is running for a Bangor City Council seat.
Ward, a far-right activist who frequently spreads neo-Nazi rhetoric and imagery, wrote on Facebook in late August that he met and shook hands with Platner during an encounter at a Maine fair, posting a photo in which they are both seen standing side by side.
“Shaking hands with Graham Platner today at Blue Hill Fair,” Ward said. “Check out Graham Platner for U.S. Senate. We have a lot in common.”
In the photo, Ward is pictured wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the number “88,” an apparent reference to a widely recognized neo-Nazi code for “Heil Hitler.” The post, a screenshot of which was obtained by JI, has since been deleted from Ward’s Facebook page.
