Trump hired someone completely over her head unvetted who lied repeatedly about her professional background for years. She was really bad at the job. Then his friend Hannity did a hit job to take her out. Trump fires her. Naturally, MAGA is blaming the media and Democrats.

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

No one ever had "measles parties". People were terrified of the measles, rightly so. They had chickenpox parties, because there was no vaccine, and even though chickenpox was miserable (I had it), it was much deadlier to get it later as an adult.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

There’s a major problem with Katie Zacharia’s claim: In 2011, the year she graduated from Pepperdine Law and moved to Beijing, China’s Ministry of Justice expressly required anyone registering for the National Judicial Examination to “have nationality of the People’s Republic of China.” Oopsie.
