The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.

Trump has successfully pissed off the (correct) anti-war people for unilaterally bombing a foreign nation and also pissed off the war perverts who think he bombed a dummy site. Incredible coalition building by the Deals Man.

Brooke Rollins on Trump's big bill: "Part of those big cuts include in the food stamp program, which is a USDA program. It's almost $280 billion over 10 years. But we spend $400 million a day just on food stamps on this country. So figuring out how to be more efficient and cost-effective."

The White House is now just boldly asserting that the lab leak is “the truth,” when it is very very far from an agreed truth, even by the US intel community. As I said on CNN last night, CIADir Ratcliffe has gotten his agency only to say so with “low confidence,” which is intel speak for “hunch.”

Not to focus on the obvious. But if it's important to end Iran's nuclear program, and if the effort in fact failed and the Hegseth is lying about it, the patriotic thing to do (setting aside the journalistic thing to do) is probably to make clear that it failed.
