During the battle over mandatory COVID vaccinations, several veterans told me they found it silly given how many vaccinations were standard for servicemembers. Here’s an example of why:
Washington D.C. @MayorBowser to @cuneytdil on working with President Trump:
"The first time I met with Trump...I realized he didn't know that much about D.C. ... When he came back, I think he realized how much influence he could have in D.C."
Trump describes his fondness for Chinese leader Xi Jinping on The Axios Show:
"He's tall, he's 6-foot-2. He's got a great stature, he's got great confidence, and he's smart."

“Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. Traffic continues to flow, and U.S. forces are monitoring the situation to ensure this remains the case.”
If this is real (and not just some more posturing ahead of talks in Switzerland), it may serve as a major test of Iran's "new status quo" in the strait.
Shipping had begun moving again since Weds, JMIC had lowered threat level, demining had commenced.
Can Iran close the strait with threats, or will it need to return to using force to stop the flow of traffic?

I was in the small pool of reporters allowed to briefly tour the new Presidential aircraft this afternoon. No photos or video was permitted, but here’s the description I shared with the radio networks.
Florida, a state with no income tax, now may remove 60% of homes from property tax rolls.

NEW: Donald Trump has a new nemesis, with a name worthy of a supervillain: Scenedesmus.
We gathered samples of the Reflecting Pool and had them tested. They seem to have killed off one algae, but created conditions for another to flourish.

"Soon Mr. Hegseth was pulling officers from nearly every active duty and reserve officer promotion list ... Hegseth has removed a total of 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one-star and two-star promotion lists, defense officials said. The only Black officer and the only female officer were removed from a Marine Corps promotion list."
