  Trump couldn't use Untruth Social to alert people to buy defense stocks, but I have a feeling his entire family knows.

  Hegseth blaming Dems for his spending spree sounds a lot like what I said to my father when he refused to fill up my tank after a night of joy riding. Actually, no. I didn't blame my father for my inability to watch my own fuel gauge.

  Democrats on the House Oversight Committee will be in Florida Tuesday to hold a hearing with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
