Media business is clickbait driven. That’s how they generate profit.
Don’t forget that when you get “breaking news” on “agreements” etc.

With important peace talks underway in Europe, the Trump admin sent the Army Secretary to represent the Pentagon since they can t trust unserious Hegseth not to embarrass them with his daily dipshittery. So they kept him home to threaten Mark Kelly with a court martial.

Really something to think that one man--Donald Trump--is letting his minions freelance the fate of not one but two countries' citizens (Ukraine and Venezuela), and those minions don't agree on much but most want to sell out one and bomb the other, and the world is reduced to tantrum management.
One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

Mamdani showed ‘em the way forward. But. Big donors.
I find bewildering the push by many to focus on reaching out voters who believe different things from Dems rather than trying to motivate voters who believe the same things as Dems but who for one reason or another didn't vote, don't regularly vote, etc. I'm sure there is a great wisdom behind this.
