A Republican president once picked Ben Bernanke—a future Nobel laureate—because expertise mattered more than spin. That norm, picking Fed chairs for brains not loyalty, does more to protect your paycheck than any campaign slogan.

Tom Cotton is moments away from saying, “I watched the video I won’t let any of you ever see, and the guy with no shirt on—YUM!—was clearly using ESP to signal to passing birds to fly to the lair of the narco-terrorist warlords to tell them how to kill more Americans. That's just a fact.”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?
TOM COTTON: Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo

A woman with cancer makes $67K. Her new premium? $49K.
She begged Sen. Angus King to fight for ACA subsidies. He didn’t.
She told his office: “I might die.”
This is the human cost of political compromise. 💔

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

🇺🇸 The Russian side will send Steve Witkoff back “with a counter-proposal that Witkoff will screw up and present as a great deal,” a US official told WP.
Putin will try to return the talks to the original 28 points, which were changed by 🇺🇦🇪🇺. “And then everything will just fall apart,” he said.
