Doesn't get much better than this. 🙂
Looks like it’s going to be another perfectly normal day from the American right-wing.

I'll never look at a photo of Scott Bessent the same way.

Steve Witkoff isn't just some rich MAGA real estate developer. Like so many people around Trump, he has deep ties to Russia going back decades.

Why isn't this scandal more of a story?

The reason these neighborhoods are considered “historic” is because we literally made it illegal to build more of them.

High prices of food, rents and healthcare force lower-income Americans to cut back on necessities just as the Trump administration curbs government supports.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Kentucky, becoming the third child to die in the past 12 months across the state.

The Kentucky DPH confirmed none of the infants had been vaccinated, nor had their mothers.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.
Third Kentucky infant dies from whooping cough as statewide cases surge
A third Kentucky infant has died from whooping cough in the last 12 months, the Kentucky Department for Public Health said Monday.

I haven't seen much about this on the media, but it's a really big deal. The purpose is to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

WaPo is tackling the tough issues today. 🙄
At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.

This is today's actual house editorial.

Again, we must ask:

Has science gone too far?

Nothing screams "stability" like the third major leadership change in less than six months at the Naval Academy.
Naval Academy Commandant fired just six months into role
Capt. Gilbert Clark Jr. was removed from leadership at the Naval Academy after fewer than six months on the job.

Gross!

RFK Jr. is 100% the kind of guy who would clip his toenails on an airliner.

Ya think?
Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

May they twist in the for a long, long time. I'd enjoy watching Chuck here go back to Iowa and explain to the farmers why they can't use pesticides anymore.
Seems like every day some senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr is pissed off at him about something.

I’m reminded of this John Boehner quote he gave in 2017:

"In the 25 years I served in the United States Congress, Republicans never, ever, one time, agreed on what a healthcare proposal should look like. Not once."
Trump wanted to extend Obamacare health care subsidies. Some congressional Republicans are upset.
It looks like the president may have to go back and tinker with his plan.

Ummm ... that seems like a pretty high bar.
There is a dawning realization, even within the Trumpian swamp of grift, that Kash Patel is turning out to be a clueless, ethically-tone deaf cretin. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
