Trump posts that his arch will be a "military complex" for drones and snipers. Really. 4 possibilities: 1. He's using national security as an argument for the arch, as he did with the ballroom. 2. He's prepping Fortress DC for when he refuses to leave office. 3. He's insane. 4. All of the above.
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Dear Dems and libs: Stop helping Republicans muddy differences between the parties on AI and data centers by acquiescing to the "bipartisan opposition" frame. Rs are laughing at you while polls show Rs now leading Ds on these issues. Instead, tie Rs directly to Trump's AI/data center malevolence.

Trump killed 100 people in Venezuela, abducted the nation's leader and installed a new leader who agreed to be his flunky. Now he's stealing their oil and bragging about it. Under Trump, the U.S. military is a band of pirates.

This is the last of the prosecutions seeking to hold accountable those responsible for the
events of January 6. That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that
day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these
convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the
peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending.

It's particularly interesting given the way Caputo lashed out at Juliette Kayyem, for noting what everyone else did: Trump is creating a series of planned excuses for snatching Raul Castro and taking over Cuba.
A Marc Caputo tweet RTing 3 from Juliette Kayyem tweets. 

Caputo: 
Cuba’s embassy notably didn’t deny having the drones. Why?

Considering how wrong you were about the effects of Trump’s prior Cuba policy, it’s pretty clear you’re seldom right but never in doubt 

But that’s the beauty of being a pundit who just brings heat instead of light

Kayyem's last:
Déjà vu. Next up: Cuba. No doubt in my mind. Bogus intel being leaked to sympathetic reporters. An indictment against Castro. A new talking point about “imminence.”  Trump needs a headline.  
(Also as someone who dealt with mass migration from Cuba, can we think about day 2).

Caputo also included 2 screen shots from 2017 in which Kayyem commented on Cuba's attempted embargo of the US.
