Hey, @jimgeraghty... In case you missed it, a Ru drone hit a schoolyard in Kyiv -- a Christian school that serves both Ukrainian and expat families.

Mm-hmm, great. Hey, which cabinet secretary had oversight of USCIS when it issued asylum to Rahmanullah Lakanwal on April 23?
I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign

Your Monday #3MartiniLunch! Today, @JimGeraghty & I discuss how even the NY Times is calling out Tim Walz over Minnesota's massive welfare fraud, California's $20 minimum wage is a massive failure, & Jasmine Crockett planning a Texas U.S. Senate bid.

Look, you never know how things would have turned out otherwise... but if Sauce Gardner was destined to suffer a calf injury and miss some time this season, trading him for two number one picks doesn't look like such a bad move.
Colts HC Shane Steichen told reporters that CB Sauce Gardner did in fact suffer a calf injury. He’ll miss some time but they say they don’t know exactly how much just yet.

When the House and Senate Armed Services Committees come calling to investigate those strikes, the Secretary of Defense had better have a better response than AI-generated children’s book covers.

Also in today's Morning Jolt... Caleb Williams has been the Bears quarterback for 29 games, less than two seasons. Despite the fact that his career is just beginning, he currently ranks _twelfth_ in passing yards in Bears franchise history. By the end of the season, he could

It doesn’t matter what you think of the president, and whether you’ve talked yourself into believing that Donald Trump is tough, smart, shrewd, always playing seven-level chess, and so on. His actions on the Juan Orlando Hernández pardon are demonstrating is that he’s a naïve,

A whole lot of Republicans are screaming bloody murder about President Biden’s use of the autopen for some of his issued pardons and commutations, and they are right to do so. But what we’re seeing from Trump right now is no better. The president is popping out pardons like a

Apparently, the threat of drug smuggling is so dire — such a clear and present danger, one might say — that the U.S. Navy is justified in shooting the survivors of drug smuggling vessels some days, and then on other days returning them to their home countries. But at the same

You can’t say you stand for “law and order” and then issue a pardon like this. You can’t say you’re “tough on crime” and then issue a pardon like this. You can’t say you oppose drug traffickers and then issue a pardon like this. https://t.co/tlZKvsFQEI

This is the big sleazy pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao all over again. Apparently, all it takes is someone telling President Trump that someone in federal prison was “targeted by Biden” or “is being treated very unfairly” and Trump asks where he can sign to issue a full

On June 26, 2024, 55-year-old Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Prosecutors had sought a life sentence. And now, after serving less than two years of his sentence, President Trump is letting him out. https://t.co/tlZKvsFQEI

During the trial, prosecutors convinced a jury that Hernández and his co-conspirators “trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras during Hernández’s tenure in the Honduran government. This amounts to well over approximately 4.5 billion individual doses
