"Going before a grand jury isn’t a nicety or a minor procedural step. The Fifth Amendment requires it. Arresting Dugan before convening a grand jury was intended to get flashy headlines and whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy."
Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation
What would you say if you saw it in another country?

OK, so Rubio announced Ukraine signed a cease fire agreement, and that now the ball is in Russia’s court. This is Putin’s response. So maybe Trump & Vance can finally admit that Ukraine wants peace and Putin wants war? Of course they won’t. The question is why?

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
