I mean come the hell on…

The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,”

"Someone stole our tickets," explained Cody Heuschkel, from Toms River, N.J. The game was supposed to be a celebration for their friend's 51st birthday. "We're out $2,400," Mr. Heuschkel said. A Yankees fan in their group came to their rescue. Zac W., who did not want to use his full name because he had helped five Red Sox fans, quickly bought six more tickets from another website. The group also said that when they had sought help after the theft, they had met the father of Red Sox second baseman Nick Sogard, who told them he was also a victim.

Headlines on Trump telling military brass cities should be a training ground, Florida handing over property to Trump, and Memphis prepping for a federal force, followed by Trump's approval ratings being stable in a NYT set of headlines.
