will never stop being incredible to me that the son of a lawyer (and grandson of an architect) who went to hotchkiss (hotchkiss!) gets graded on a curve cause he’s β€œworking class”

And listening to the Caine/Hegseth briefing, it's really striking that Trump has not spoken live since he started this war.

After reading some journalists accounts, this is still true.

The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.

What Emergency Managers Say They Need More Than Ever We heard from more than 40 current and former emergency managers in 11 states about what they need to prepare for the next disaster β€” and what they aren’t getting.

NEW: Local emergency managers, the behind-the-scenes coordinators who mobilize help during disasters, have raised the same point time and again:

We need resources to protect people in harm’s way β€” before the harm arrives.

Sgt La David Johnson: soldier at the center of dispute over Trump remarks The 25-year-old South Florida native who was killed in Niger has been put in the spotlight after Trump reportedly made insensitive comments to his widow

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people β€œdumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: β€œhe knew what he signed up for”

Donald Trump started a war and quickly blamed Iran for his defeat in 2020. He is plotting to steal the 2026 election. And his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
