A grim moment for Steve Bannon today when his guest admitted that a national emergency declaration -- the lynchpin of Bannon's plot to subvert the midterms -- would likely be overturned by the Supreme Court. Bannon was positively deflated by the end of the show

This summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond. The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.

Bringing my evergreen tweet to bluesky - going on War Room as a journalist is embarrassing and under no circumstance is it worth the attention. Just a humiliation ritual at this point.
