I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel sorry for Sean Duffy (Transportation Secretary). His job has pretty much been a nightmare from almost the beginning, compounded from the fact that he has to continue to work with Defense Secretary/clown Pete Hegseth to try to make DC airspace safe...

I'm planning on reading this.
It looks like a relatively dispassionate dissection of the history of the...catastrophe(!)... in Israel-Palestine.
From 2009, my only complaint.

Opinion | JD Vance: What President Trump achieved in his first 100 days The president and I campaigned on reversing Joe Biden’s failures. And we’re delivering.

Tennessee police release video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia traffic stop in 2022 Authorities in Tennessee have released video of a 2022 traffic stop involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He's the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
