This is the Trump plot line I least understand. I have literally no clue what they’re doing or why. I mean I know they’re randomly killing fishermen but just why and why Venezuela and why any of this
The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Hardly his most important work, but I remember having my mind blown by learning he had rewritten most of the dialogue on INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, one of the funniest movies ever made

Deleted a tweet up thread about this exchange below bc I believe I misheard it. Hegseth was being asked about his use of the term “jagoff,” not JAG officers. Extra confusing bc he had just been asked about who prosecuted military crimes. Apologies for my mistake.

This is incorrect as I heard and understood the exchange; Hegseth was being asked about his use of the term “jagoff,” not about JAG officers generally. (Whether Hegseth considers all JAG officers to be jagoffs is another question of course.)

We are going to bulldoze the entire thing. I don’t care what he builds there.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

I find it funny when people who hate him call this “performative”. In a sense it is, it’s not like it’s his job to literally hand out food himself, but this is his job, to highlight issues and good organizations working to help. It’s such nonsensical criticism. You’re supposed to be doing this.

I not too long ago was a guest for a year at a private club in upper Manhattan that still does not allow women and refused to expel members of the Confederacy (which led to the creation of the competing Union League). I was declined from there by a person actually named G. Pennington Egbert IV.

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
