Fun Fact for whomever needs to learn this. Under NFHS (high school) football rules, if an unsuccessful field goal attempt crosses the receiving team's goal line, the ball becomes dead and is ruled a touchback, resulting in the defense taking possession at the 20-yard line.

Iran blew up our Middle East logistics hub on DAY ONE of the war, and Hegseth tried to hide it. This base was a two-day trip away for carriers to resupply. Now they have to go to England’s base on Diego Garcia, which is a two-week round trip.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Yes, this was my frustration with the implementation of SO MANY of T's Exec Orders. If you read the actual EO, it only called for elimination of ILLEGAL DEI programs (which is all he could actually do with an EO). But fearful OVER-compliance did a lot of damage that will be hard to recover from.
