The last time a U.S. president greeted in person a foreign leader arriving at Joint Base Andrews? 11 years ago yesterday: September 22, 2015 ... President Obama greets Sovereign of the Vatican City State Pope Francis

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017: "I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

🚨 Jennifer Eckhart, a former Fox Business producer and journalist, has died by suicide at just 36. Jennifer worked at Fox from 2013 to 2020. In 2020, she filed a lawsuit accusing former Fox News anchor Ed Henry of sexual assault and sexual harassment, including an alleged 2017 hotel-room assault. Henry denied the allegations and said their relationship was consensual. Fox fired Henry that July following an internal investigation. Jennifer also sued Fox, alleging the network knew or should have known about Henry’s alleged conduct and retaliated against her. Her claims against Fox were ultimately dismissed, and a federal appeals court upheld that ruling in 2025, finding there was insufficient evidence that Fox had prior knowledge of the alleged misconduct. Her claims against Henry were later settled. Jennifer spoke openly about the trauma she experienced in the years that followed, including PTSD and a suicide attempt in 2020. Still, she tried to rebuild. She launched her REINVENTED podcast and was working on a nonprofit to help trauma survivors. She spent years telling stories about people who found a way to start over. Tragically, she never got that ending herself. Rest in peace, Jennifer. 🕊️💔

I’m begging you all to watch this, he’s just yelling into the void. Funniest outcome possible.
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

To work for Trump is to lie for Trump.
Hassett: Inflation is way down. I go to the grocery store every weekend and I just noticed the hamburger for by barbecue was down two dollars from a couple of weeks ago.
Community note
Hassett's anecdote of one hamburger price drop does not show inflation is way down. BLS data shows CPI up 3.4% year-over-year through August 2026 while ground beef averaged a record $6.92/lb, up 9.6% from a year earlier. bls.gov/news.release/c… beefpriceindex.com/ground-beef/ fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000… bls.gov/cpi/factsheets…

If this is actually something being considered, seems weird to broadcast to the world where they can find a stash of weapons to target in DC. This is obviously some bizarre effort to wrap this arch idea into national defense
Trump says planned arch to have ammunition storage and staging areas for snipers

MAGA, if you buy a $40,000 truck, you didn’t “lose” $40,000. You exchanged $40,000 for a truck. Imports work on the same basic concept. If you stop spending $100 at the grocery store, you did not “make” $100. You also don’t have groceries. It's amazing how this has to be explained to Donald.

NEW: CNN reports that 14 Russian spy satellites flew over a U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia two days before Iran’s devastating attack, potentially giving Tehran access to data that helped it carry out highly precise strikes on U.S. assets.

Yesterday my @CNN colleague @ScottJenningsKY offered as justification for the @POTUS's bid to seize control of mail-in voting a story that 50,000 ballots had been sent out but never delivered during the June primary election in AZ. So I looked it up and you can, too. I've attached it below. These cases reflected people who had moved or died since the last election and could not be found at that address. It doesn't reflect completed ballots that voters mailed back. And, as the story points out, it is a fairly typical number. In fact, these ballots aren't forwarded to new mailing addresses. That's an election security measure--a feature not a bug--to ensure that people don't vote twice. AZ's election system has been well-scrutinized and found to be remarkably fair, honest and accurate. (Remember when Republicans in the AZ state senate hired the "Cyber Ninjas" to investigate the 2020 election in the state's largest county and found that @JoeBiden had not only won, but had beaten @realDonaldTrump by a few votes MORE than originally reported.) These specious arguments are offered to justify Trump's unjustifiable claims, and are meant to sow confusion and doubt about an election system whose probity has been the envy of the world. azmirror.com/2026/08/19/over…

This is a legit insane exchange….Trump and his cronies are robbing Venezuela in broad daylight and Bessent won’t tell congress where all the money is
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons BESSENT: Again, this is one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheets CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons? BESSENT: No

Who's the guy who bankrolled Don Jr's wedding in the Bahamas? Umar Kremlev didn’t exist in 2009. A guy named Umar Lutfulloyev did. Late 20s, Serpukhov thug, two convictions — extortion in 2004, beating the shit out of people in 2007. Taxi work, construction, “security.” The usual starter pack. Then he walks into a registry office in 2010 and becomes Umar Kremlev. Cleaner last name. Cleaner paperwork. Convenient. He hangs with the Night Wolves, Putin’s favorite biker gang, and lucks into a friendship with Alexei Rubezhnoi — the man who runs the president’s personal security. That’s the whole origin story. Not a brilliant businessman. A guy who found the right bodyguard. Rubezhnoi puts him in charge of the Russian Boxing Federation. Then Kremlev takes the International Boxing Association, the one the IOC kicked out of the Olympics for being a dumpster fire. Gazprom money shows up. Prize pots get huge. Everyone pretends not to notice the smell. Meanwhile the real money arrives. Putin’s government hands him the sports betting market. His companies end up behind Fonbet, Pari, Liga Stavok. His outfit becomes the single accounting center for every legal bet in Russia. National lottery too. That’s not hustle. That’s the Kremlin picking a guy with a rap sheet and giving him an entire industry because he’s useful and loyal. He even said it out loud: unlimited opportunities thanks to one person, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. So when this guy drops six figures on a private island and fireworks for Don Jr.’s wedding, it’s not “a generous friend who loves boxing and hunting.” It’s a twice-convicted Putin cutout buying access to the president’s kid.
