A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Q: Americans worried about higher gas prices, higher grocery prices, health insurance, making ends meet, they don't want foreign wars. What do you say about why this war with Iran is so critical?
Witkoff: Think about what this world would look like if you didn't have Donald Trump as the president
According to reporting, President Trump polled a room of donors at Mar-a-Lago about whether he should back Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio for president in 2028.

Everything you need to know about Donald Trump in one question and one answer.
This is one of his most terrifyingly stupid performances ever, this one’s a Hall of Famer
Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this?
TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.
Trump on Cuba: "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter."
Trump: "It's actually a matter in a serious way of national survival. You can't have these elections going on like this anymore."

Here's the Karoline Leavitt interview people are talking about.
Maria Bartiromo asks if Trump might send ground troops into Iran, because "mothers are worried" about a draft. Leavitt replies that ground troops aren't in the current plan, but Trump won't rule them out. No mention of the draft.
170 dead schoolgirls, an ancient city flattened, 7 dead US soldiers, $110 a barrel, gas prices doubled - and all to replace an 86 year old dictator with his son.

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago condemns White House video about Iran war: “A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it's a video game — it's sickening.” www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...
A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it
B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate

BARTIROMO: A billion dollars a day. Oil prices up 27% in a week. The president wants a $1.5t defense budget. The Pentagon wants $50b for these strikes. How are you gonna answer?
LINDSEY GRAHAM: Best money ever spent. What's it worth to America to take down a religious nazi regime?
Learning about a new kind of war crime every day doesn't feel so good.
Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show

I think “all the American voter cares about is gas prices” is overly simplistic and broadly incorrect
but I sure as shit think they are going to care about them rising this much this fast
“You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said President Donald Trump
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?
Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Biden: "Jesse kept hope alive for us, and we've gotta continue to do it in our lifetime for our children. Because there's nothing beyond our capacity when we work together. So stand up! And finish this job."
Rep. Carlos Gimenez on 6 Americans troops killed: "Outside of that, those are pretty light casualties"
That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

“.. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. ‘I guess,’ he says. .. ‘Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
