1. SMITHSONIAN

President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric about the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday, alleging that its museums were too focused on the negative aspects of US history, including "how bad slavery was." The comments, which he posted on his social media site, came a week after the White House ordered a review of the Smithsonian's museums and exhibits "to ensure alignment with the President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narrative…

On #CNN, Major General Randy Menner (retired) just compared the precision of Israeli air strikes to “#HanSolo dropping the missile down the elevator shaft”. Yikes.

#CNN: Man convicted of fraud for posing as flight attendant to fly for free
At first, I wondered why they'd give free flights to a man who was convicted of defrauding airlines.🤦‍♂️

Looks like they are doing organized deliberate demolition of robotaxis in #dtla. They have a line of 3 lit.
The voice on #CNN isn’t wrong: when people see images of lawlessness (I.e. roaring Lithium ion battery fires) they lose their minds. Never mind that these are essentially victimless acts of arson, with…

#CNN: "Kristi Noem said a migrant threatened to kill Trump. Investigators think he was set up...
The investigators suspect the letter was to benefit a separate individual..."
Expect these investigators to soon recant or be fired. 😟

#CNN: Trump administration released FBI records on MLK Jr.
A masterful move by Trump, setting up a (false) standard for reviews of his own conduct. Not that he's equal to #MLK in any way but you know him.
Watch how GOP will now show sympathy for MLK's "flaws".

#CNN: Trump administration’s MAHA report on children’s health filled with flawed references, including some studies that don’t exist
Easy. They had AI draft parts of the report. 100 bucks if they didn't.

#CNN: China tells EU it can’t accept Russia losing its war against Ukraine
This seems like a big deal. Between China taking this position, Trump cozying up to Putin, and fissures in EU, it's hard to see Russia losing this war. 🥺

President Loud and Foul Mouth will surely rebut, but I'll hold judgment on until a fuller picture develops. Might be months, but I'll wait.

Placement matters: "trying to literally rewrite history"; not "literally trying to rewrite history".
