5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
When his aircraft landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, President Zelenskyy was met by Prime Minister Mark Carney – the head of government of Canada.
When he landed at Miami, Florida, not a single U.S. official met Zelenskyy.
Canada is Ukraine's ally. The U.S. is Russia's proxy.
I have not had a chance to begin the series yet as my weeknights are pretty hectic and I get to bed early…
BUT I would love to know everyone’s thoughts so far on the new Ken Burns American Revolution who has started it!

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.
Keilar: You’re taking issue with the CBO estimate?
Burchett: The office is very partisan…
Keilar: So in January 2024, there was a Republican who trusted the CBO so much that they reintroduced a resolution to require the house clerk to read the CBO estimate of any bill. I believe that was you, sir.
Trump's mental clarity during today's hostile and sometimes incomprehensible presser is as obvious to foreign intelligence agencies as it is to us. This is just one clip but both our allies and enemies have eyes and ears too.
Seven facts about Operation “Spiderweb” — a Ukrainian strike that will go down in history as one of the most successful special operations ever conducted.

This is not a US presidency, it's a mobster running a criminal enterprise out of the White House. In American history, we've never seen a criminal like Trump:
The corrupt, serial lying conman pardoned tax cheat Paul Walczak after his mother bribed Trump with $1 million at a Mar-a-Lago dinner.
Walczak stole from his employees to fund an extravagant lifestyle — and was pardoned by Trump before he ever reported to prison.

@joewaters@CityOfBoston Must have put it down for a moment. Retraced all my steps. I have another issue of the Massachusetts Spy from 1773 in my collection that I'm sharing along the tour route now. Perhaps this one will turn up at some point.
