So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

The U.S. military has destroyed five boats it has alleged were ferrying drugs into the U.S., killing 27 people. No authority has publicly released the names of any of the dead. One family is believed to be the first to publicly say they believe a relative is among those who were killed.

Bernie Sanders on out-of-touch Democratic Party leadership:

“… the Mamdani campaign is a crystallization of that. And if the Democratic leadership can’t support the Democratic nominee, what is the Democratic Party? Who’s the Democratic Party?”

People Are Furious With Democrats. Bernie Sanders Knows Why.

Democratic Party leadership is way out of touch with where the American people are, and it’s almost frightening to see the kind of anger and contempt that people feel toward it.
