If Operation Midnight Hammer “completely obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities last year and yet they were “weeks away” from having a weapon 2 months ago there can only be 2 conclusions. 1. Der Trümp & GI Jose Cuervo lied or 2. Iran has the best scientists in the world.

This is the most concise breakdown of how the Red Sox are being run as part of a private equity firm's portfolio and not a baseball team you'll ever see. Just check out Sam Kennedy's Wall Street word salad at the 14:25 mark
NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team. We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports. In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him? Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

.A POTUS using a @CMOH_Society ceremony to riff about gold drapes, his gaudy ballroom, and “joking” about giving himself the medal is a disgrace to all of the MOH recipients who truly love/loved this country. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion

🚨 STUNNING MOMENT 🚨 A sitting member of Congress is asked a basic question: “What is inflation?” She cannot define it. Instead of explaining that inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level, she says it’s when prices are “too expensive” because of government “squandering tax dollars.” Then she pivots to slogans. This isn’t a slip. This is someone who campaigns on “fighting inflation” but can’t articulate what it actually is. Not nuance. Not disagreement. Not policy debate. Just a lawmaker defaulting to partisan branding when asked for a definition. If you build your political identity around an issue, you should at least understand the damn term. Voters deserve representatives who know the basics of the economy they’re legislating.

At a recent hearing, Sen. @RyanFattman asked Gov. Healey a simple question: Should Net Zero be a goal instead of a mandate to give ratepayers relief? Her answer: "We’ve got to continue with what we’re doing." Electric bills keep rising. Beacon Hill keeps doubling down.

Meet Charlie. A video surfaced of him joining a fraternity at Clemson University, which launched a program for students with special needs—giving them the chance to experience real college life. Humanity isn’t defined by ability. ❤️

In the early morning moments before @CollegeGameDay, LC and I have a tradition. We tell stories, we share laughs and we connect. It’s been such a special part of GameDay that I have loved sharing with you all and will miss so much.

General Milley Monday: On the same day Trump said "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator," here's a reminder from General Mark Milley that "we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator." The oath is to the Constitution. Share this widely.

@MassGov @MassGovernor Been on hold waiting for 32 minutes waiting to speak to an unemployment rep! Give the English speaking illegals headsets and have them earn their money! This is ridiculous

.After waiting 40 minutes the rep said she couldn’t help & would transfer me. That sent me into a different system where it said that due to call volume that they can’t answer my call at this time and to call later in the week! What a joke! It’s no wonder why people have no faith
