Same ending. The wandering hero, having seen to the safe journey home of his formerly antagonistic comrade, allows himself a moment of peace and reflection before returning to the Road.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

All Patel did is cause unnecessary confusion. The other speakers corrected it. Then Patel felt the need to speak again to remind everyone that the Guardsmen are heroes. He IS so unqualified. This was a somber moment, and it's disrespectful to let incompetent idiots speak at moments like these.

As you know two National Guardsmen were sadly shot in DC and are in critical condition. Kash Patel, a moron, gets up and speaks in the presser, vowing to seek and prosecute those responsible. But the lone gunman was shot. He's in custody. There are no other suspects. What a rube.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

This is why you won't have healthcare in 2026.
Trump’s size obsession has put him at odds with the architect, who reportedly argues the 90,000 sq. ft. ballroom would overshadow the 55,000 sq. ft. White House, violating basic architectural principles.

Monday's lesson: Don't mess with librarians.
Ultimately, though, the question with Trump's effort to take over the Library of Congress could come down to whether Congress says, "Don't mess with Congress."

BREAKING: SCOTUS will not grant the Trump administration’s request to allow it to fire Shira Perlmutter, the director of the Copyright Office, at this time. It puts off any decision while the court is considering the other two firings cases. Perlmutter stays in office during that time.
