“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

No offense to any of you who want to talk about this, but enough: It's not going anywhere. This is the system in which you must win. Wishcasting won't solve it.
The winner-take-all nature of the electoral college is ridiculous. The sensible answer is a proportional distribution of electoral votes based on a candidate’s votes in that state, but that is essentially the same as direct vote so why have an electoral college?

A lot of what Trump is doing can be called next-level awful, at least in its egregiousness.
But one thing he's about to do that no president has ever done. And it's something Republicans have dreamt about doing forever.
