[b]Trump’s wild midnight Truth Social posting binge features over 150 messages in mere hours ranging from treason to beautiful Melania.[/b]
“President Donald Trump went on a manic Truth Social posting spree Monday night that saw him fire off 150 tweets in mere hours that included compliments about the first lady to conspiracy theories about Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Between 7 p.m. and midnight, the president reposted roughly 150 tweets — averaging about one post every two minutes for five hours — from what appeared to be a random assortment of unknown figures on X and his close allies discussing an unpredictable range of topics. The heaviest concentration of posts occurred between 11 p.m. and midnight, with about 100 posts in the final hour alone.”

[b]The WSJ Editorial Board says Congress is right to seek the truth about the alleged Hegseth missile order—Hegseth should testify under oath.[/b]
“Congress is mostly a media circus these days, so credit the members who take their duties seriously. Lawmakers are doing a public service by trying to get to the truth on whether the Trump Administration killed defenseless survivors of a drug-boat strike.”

“There is an increasing apprehension among service members that they may be asked to carry out an illegal order, amid reports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered troops to “kill everybody” in a boat strike in September.
The concerns, reflected in an uptick in calls to The Orders Project — which provides free legal advice to military personnel — come from the likes of staff officers involved in planning the strikes on supposed drug carrying boats and those in charge of designating the people on the vessels as a threat in order to carry out such attacks.”

“Members of the House of Representatives are quitting Congress at a record rate, with Republican retirements and resignations outpacing Democrats by a nearly 2-to-1 ratio in the first 11 months of the year.
