Trump had nothing to do with the #Ceasefire. If anything he delayed it. He didn’t even think there were any hostages alive, nor did he care. He will likely gut the State department. Any report that claims he was integral is blind to his apathy. Netanyahu name checked him for collateral, that’s all.

Watch it again. The law does not require that TikTok “go dark.” It prevents third party carriers from distributing it. So the law does not make the app “disappear” from phones that already have it. TikTok knows this, so they are intentionally depriving their own customers to create backlash

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.

Sen. Hirono asked Hegseth about his vows to not drink if named Secretary of Defense. He said "Absolutely" She asked if he would resign if he resumed drinking. He did not answer. What I find disturbing? He did not just say, "I am clean and sober since.." and give a date.
