“Your one patient who was doing well after surgery gets blown up in his bed. That, I think, probably took the feeling of impotence and rage and helplessness to another level." Dr. Feroze Sidhwa traveled twice to the Gaza Strip to volunteer on the frontline of a collapsing hospital system.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby. They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people. In your name.

Trump gets distracted mid-speech: "125 years. That's before my father was born. My father was born 6 years later than that. I don't know if he'd like me to say that. Never liked to talk about his age. He said, don't talk about that."

Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.
John Dowd: Jack Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. Smith was fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts and the law.

Did a fast-forward review of the first 45 minutes of FOX and Friends this morning. I can report that there has been NO mention of yesterday’s WSJ bombshell report re Trump being a part of the Epstein files. To the contrary, the “what-a-about Obama” distraction has taken over their airwaves. Sad.

I watched a bit of F&Fs this morning. They characterized Trump’s tariff actions as brilliant (cuz he’s a billionaire and countries are now begging for a deal), the tanking the market is just one of those “nothing to see here” moments, and most of the protestors on Saturday were old and nasty.

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.
