We’ve gone from a helicopter at Kid Rock’s, to Apaches on the beach, to this legitimately dangerous flyover in Pensacola.

This is what it looks like when your “SecWar” is concerned with “low-T” instead of discipline.

The Democrats dumped a candidate accused of sexual assault the same week Donald Trump was ordered to pay $5 million to the woman a jury found he sexually abused. If you’re wondering how the parties differ, start there.

I genuinely don’t want to hear a single word about Graham Platner from Trump supporters.

The day the allegations surfaced, I said he shouldn’t be running. If Democrats expect accountability from Republicans, we have to expect it from our own. Platner suspended his campaign after a woman accused him of sexual assault, and he should be gone.

But spare me the fake outrage.

You’re defending a man a jury found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. A man accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. A man caught on tape bragging about grabbing women without their consent. A man who publicly sexualized teenage girls, talked about dating his own daughter, socialized with Jeffrey Epstein, and still sits in the Oval Office because none of it was a dealbreaker for you.

So no, you don’t get to clutch your pearls over allegations against a Democrat while defending an adjudicated sexual abuser.

You’ve already shown us your standard.

You don’t care about women.
You don’t care about victims.
You don’t care about character.
You care whether the accused has an R next to his name.

When you’re willing to apply the same standard to Donald Trump that you demand of everyone else, then we can have a conversation about accountability.

Until then, save the lectures.

They aren’t about justice.
They’re about hypocrisy.

A young woman named MacKenzie Tuttle graduated from Princeton in 1992 with a degree in English. One of her professors was Toni Morrison, who later described her as one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.

After graduation, MacKenzie took a job at the New York investment firm D. E. Shaw. There she met a colleague named Jeff Bezos, who had an ambitious idea: selling books on the internet.

She didn’t laugh at the idea.

They married in 1993, and the following year drove across the country to the Seattle area to build what would become Amazon.

In the beginning, there was no global empire.

There was a garage.

MacKenzie handled accounting, wrote business materials, answered customer emails and phone calls, and packed orders alongside Jeff. Like many startups, everyone did whatever needed to be done.

As Amazon grew, MacKenzie stepped away from day-to-day operations to raise their four children while continuing to pursue her own passion for writing.

Her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, won the American Book Award. She later published a second novel and quietly built a respected literary career.

Meanwhile, the story of Amazon became one of the most famous business stories ever told.

Jeff Bezos became one of the world’s most recognizable entrepreneurs.

MacKenzie’s role was rarely part of the public narrative.

She never seemed interested in changing that.

What many people don’t know is that she also knew financial hardship.

Her family filed for bankruptcy while she was still a student, and she has spoken about the kindness of people who helped her through difficult times—acts of generosity she never forgot.

In 2019, after her divorce, MacKenzie Scott received approximately 4% of Amazon’s shares.

Almost immediately, she made a decision that surprised the world.

She signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate the majority of her wealth during her lifetime.

Then she did something even more unusual.

Instead of building a massive public foundation or attaching her name to buildings, she began giving away billions of dollars through large, unrestricted grants.

Universities.

Food banks.

Housing organizations.

Rural communities.

Women’s health initiatives.

Tribal colleges.

Climate organizations.

Small nonprofits that had never imagined receiving gifts of that size.

Many recipients reportedly thought the phone calls were scams.

They weren’t.

Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated tens of billions of dollars to thousands of organizations, making her one of the most significant philanthropists of the modern era.

Despite giving away enormous sums, her fortune has remained substantial because of Amazon’s continued growth.

The woman who once packed Amazon’s first orders is now helping fund opportunities for millions of people she will probably never meet.

She never asked for buildings in her name.

She never demanded headlines.

Sometimes the greatest legacy isn’t the company you help build.

It’s what you choose to do with the success that follows.

#BREAKING: Sen Tammy Duckworth: “If you have a different name on your birth certificate than is on your drivers license, you CANNOT vote, and so for the 69 MILLION American WOMEN who took their husband’s names, you cannot vote. That birth certificate is not valid. By the way, military IDs will not be valid for you to be able to vote, neither will your REAL ID…So you have to go in with a passport that matches your current ID, and you know how hard it is to get a passport? Number one, it’s expensive and number two, theres such a backlog in the State Department, some people are waiting 3-6 months to get a passport. And so, think about the 69 million American women who married and took their husband’s name, you can no longer vote under the #SAVEAct…and in order to have housing for young people who…don’t see home ownership as being something that they can achieve, he’s going to hold women who are married and took their husband’s name hostage.” 🤦‍♀️

This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.

In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:

- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors

This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.

Trump reagiert auf den unforced error von Friedrich Merz mit der Drohung eines U.S.-Truppenabzugs aus Deutschland.

Merz sinnierte in einer Schule vor sich hin, Trump habe keinen Plan. Trump reagiert auf solche Bemerkungen mit einem typischen New‑York‑Reflex: Er will sofort zurückschlagen. Das tut er nun mit der Drohung, die US‑Truppenpräsenz in Deutschland zu reduzieren. Diese Eskalation hätte man sich sparen können.

Die rund 36.000 US‑Soldaten in Deutschland dienen vor allem amerikanischen Interessen: das große Krankenhaus in Landstuhl, die strategische Drehscheibe Ramstein, der Truppenübungsplatz Grafenwöhr. Diese Standorte sichern nicht primär die Verteidigung Deutschlands, sondern unterstützen unter anderem amerikanische Operationen im Nahen Osten und globale amerikanische Machtprojektion.

Auch das Hauptquartier in Stuttgart umfasst hochwertige Infrastruktur, in die erhebliche Mittel geflossen sind. Das lässt sich nicht einfach von heute auf morgen verlagern und eine andere Stationierung würde die USA sehr viel Geld kosten, das Trump vom Kongress genehmigt bekommen müsste.

Schon 2020 hatte Trump einmal angekündigt, 11.900 U.S.-Soldaten aus Deutschland abzuziehen. Dazu kam es nicht – auch weil der Kongress die nötigen Mittel nicht bereitstellte und ein Abzug enorme Investitionen an anderen Orten erfordert hätte.

Am besten also gelassen bleiben und als Bundesregierung mit öffentlichen Äußerungen Trump keine Anreize dafür geben, alle paar Minuten neue Drohungen gegen Deutschland zu formulieren.

Your Android phone’s storage is full.

You delete photos, videos, apps. It’s still full.

Because it’s not the visible files that are eating up your storage. Most of it is the HIDDEN junk that Android never tells you about.

I cleaned mine yesterday and got 23GB back without deleting a single photo.
