They still literally couldn’t tell us in this briefing what their mission was.
Walz: What happened in Minnesota and the absolute horrific assault on this state, if this happened in another country, it wasn't that long ago that the US would investigate those things. We're going to do that.
GAETZ: "A ground invasion of Iran will make our country poorer and less safe. It will mean higher gas prices, higher food prices, and I'm not sure we’d end up killing more terrorists than we would create."
Incredible stuff

Trump: “I was never on Epstein’s plane”

I’m amazed the Russo brothers managed to keep Steve Rogers under wraps and never said he’d return after the casting announcement. This is a huge surprise. What else is Marvel Studios hiding? We think we know the plot—but we don’t. Love it.

Kash Patel got brand-new armored BMWs on his request.
The big story floating around is that FBI personnel are leaking these stories to take him down. But I’ve got other questions:

The Ellisons want Trump’s support for their hostile takeover of Warner Bros.
But Trump has been unhappy with recent episodes of 60 Minutes — hence the CECOT segment removal.
Business leaders and the press surrendering to Trump is a danger to us all.
A tyrant can't be appeased.
