Increasingly concerning that the Trump Admin is obliterating data so we can’t document what they’re destroying. In this case, gold standard tracking of health care access, insurance coverage and costs. It’s a study that will help us understand the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill.
MEPS seems to be gone as of now. This is very bad. These are critical pieces of data about health care and they belong to the American public.

"More than 3,000 papers have folded since 2005, as smaller staffs, never glamorously appointed, have been relegated to ever-more marginal bureaus:

These are hybrid spaces, where, unlike larger outlets, white-collar editorial staff bump elbows with manual workers like printers and typesetters."

Usually it’s a safe bet that nothing will stick but if the regime hangs Admiral Bradley, a SEAL combat veteran and winner of a Bronze Star, out to dry to protect their alcoholic Fox personality cosplaying as “Secretary of War,” I could see that being a bridge too far for a lot of Republicans.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

I’ll just say, you are more than welcome to get a paid subscription to Law Dork, where I actually do journalism, rather than paying Lizza to do this shit. www.lawdork.com/blackfriday
the last Lizza post ended on a cliffhanger where Lizza teased a recording of Trump talking about the assassination attempt that would potentially "shatter our understanding of recent history." in the latest drop he reveals that he doesn't know what the recording was and also it has been destroyed.

Mounting evidence casts doubt that those killed—who now number over 80—were even trafficking drugs to the United States. And now, Trump is pardoning the Honduran ex-president convicted of crimes relating to flooding the U.S. with cocaine.

This feels like the right take. Biden looked considerably frail and whenever I'd go home or get off social media, it'd be the first thing people mentioned to me. The presidency is taxing as is and it can signficantly diminish a man in his late 70s/early 80s.
It's also possible that the presidency is not an ideal occupation for a man in his 80s. If Biden appears healthier in this photo than Trump, consider that he gets a full night's uninterrupted sleep now and travels on his own schedule.

Either Trump is lying (100% chance) which means an illegal order was given or he is telling the truth (0% chance) and the service members in question committed a war crime of their own volition. Either way it should be a career ending scandal. But no it’s just Monday.
