A catch-all Friday!

Tops on the list for the day: the continued destruction at the White House. HuffPost documents the donors who thought they were signing up for ballroom construction, only to find out Trump was saddling them with East Wing demolition, instead.

Next up: We've always been at trade war with Canada! Or at least, we are now. Again. Because something, something, Ronald Reagan. Speaking of which, "something, something, Ronald Reagan."

Third: Trump says he has no intention of asking Congress to authorize his Caribbean (and now Pacific) strikes. Even though it would give the tacti-cool set lots of lingo and jargon to toss about.

Israeli hard-liners are talking about annexing the West Bank, now. JD Vance makes it about him.

Happy Diwali! MAGA makes that about Kash Patel.

Ronny Jackson is so dumb, not even Matthew Kacsmaryk can save his "case!"

Neither can anyone save the MAGA "cases" of supposed "left-wing violence." The right has never learned—and never had to learn—the lesson of The Case of the Backwards B.

New bootstrapping theory dropped! The "reason" Trump thinks he's entitled to reparations from the DOJ is that they should have foreseen in 2022 that in 2024, SCOTUS would invent a new theory of "presidential immunity," and that he would totally have been entitled to it.

Heading out to vote early in Virginia? Do you feel like you need some context on Jay Jones? Or nah?
