So Hegseth is blaming the Ukrainians and saying Elon made the decision to downgrade Ukraine’s Starlink service? Isn’t that completely different from Rubio’s explanation that it was a technical glitch? Days into this scandal and they can’t seem to get their stories straight.

I left the practice of law 20+ years ago. But my mother isn't lying when she proudly tells people, "My son is a LAWYER."
And over the past 25 years, I've spent thousands of dollars in registration fees and taken hundreds of hours of CLE to keep Mom honest.👇

How about the real hero of this Andy Harris story: Cat Murphy?
This is who every father wants their daughter to aspire to.
A young journalist holding a nearly shouting United States congressman, pointing in her face, hovering over, all because she did her job?
Hero.

Merrill College students know their rights as journalists.
"Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."

Trump and his allies are going to try desperately to clean up his completely insane comments last night about Los Angeles and San Diego being blown up. Don’t listen to them. They’ve been trying to sanitize and normalize this dangerous rhetoric for a decade now.

After a couple of weeks of stewing, just couldn't shake the fact that Alex Ovechkin appeared in a pro-Putin ad, and that it would color how people viewed him -- forever.
On his 22nd season, his choice -- and his legacy.

“United States” is spelled incorrectly on the White House’s agreement with AI executives:

Extraordinary for any American president: Mr. Trump offered to sell weapons to Xi Jinping of China. That was revealed in an interview by David Perdue, the US ambassador. Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan approved by Congress. China aids Iran and Russia.

I hope media outlets covering Trump's taxpayer-funded ads aren't shy about calling this content what it is: Propaganda.

Overnight, Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the Trump admin to restore CNN, MS NOW and Politico's access to the White House "immediately." This is an important victory for First Amendment freedoms, though the ruling is grounded in Fifth Amendment due process rights

Catherine Wise, CAS/MA ’27, came to AU determined to work at the @smithsonian. Last summer, she made that goal a reality with a 10-week internship at the National Museum of American History, where she explored fashion history behind the scenes.
“I wouldn’t have gotten an internship like this anywhere else in the country,” she said. Learn more: bit.ly/3VkZdPs

Trump made his first remarks without the TV pool and it is impossible to hear him through the White House feed. He is doing an unveiling of the new helipad just before Xi’s visit.
Nothing but static for 9 minutes and Trump is wheels up.
