Trump never served in uniform, earned a rank, led troops into battle, or received a military decoration. Yet here he is dressing himself as a general beside Patton and MacArthur. The presidency is a civilian office. Borrowing the honor of those who served to glorify yourself is stolen valor cosplay
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

That doesn’t undo the damage. When the grant is canceled, the structure that grant is intended to support goes away. It may not be possible to recreate it. People leave when they have no money. Equipment doesn’t get bought, or is given away. Labs shut down. Science dies. That’s their goal.
I love this painting! Happy Birthday former POTUS Barack Obama! You’re 65 today! Dig that tan suit!

Edwin Lopez Cornejo, a young man who was detained at Delaney Hall, died this weekend. He leaves behind a family and community who deserve answers.
hey @cnn.com there has got to be a way to report these stories about Trump being mad about charging decisions of individual US attorneys without normalizing the idea that the president personally supervises charging decisions of individual US attorneys, I know we can do this

Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” might be dead, but President Donald Trump still gets out of paying any back taxes he might have owed.

So all US citizens who have been audited can just fake sue the IRS and become immune for any tax fraud they might have committed and be forgiven for any back taxes they might have owed?

Senior US military officials are reportedly crowdsourcing ideas over email on “how to deal with Iran” while admitting they need to “reevaluate their strategy.” If your war plan starts with a brainstorming session, you’ve already lost. This is embarrassing and dangerous.
