If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.

SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

The Weekend

A fall afternoon,
reading pixels on the back deck
The coffee is strong,
but could be stronger
"In The End" whispers down the street
It must be louder there
A millennial is building skeletons
Or planting gravestones
Or fixing a car
They used to play Springsteen
Soon it will be The Weeknd
