One: that weirdo Trump FEMA official is leaving. Which one? The one who teleported into a Waffle House, of course. How is he leaving? That we don\u2019t know, and it might not even be worth trying to guess, honestly. Oh, and remember the Shark Tank weirdo who was so sure that anyone opposing his plans for a mega data center in Utah just had to be a Chinese Communist Party front? Well, he\u2019s backing off of that one. Which is nice, I guess. Oh, oh, and remember that housing bill that both was and wasn\u2019t presented to the president for signature? Well, it\u2019s been presented. Again? Maybe? Oh, oh, oh, and remember Elise Stefanik? Well, we\u2019ll be rid of her for the time being, but MAGA weirdos are hoping to replace her with a different MAGA weirdo. Oh, oh, oh, oh, and remember the Reflecting Pool? It doesn\u2019t really matter if you don\u2019t, because it\u2019s whole history is going to be made up, anyway. Anyway, it turns out that the only contractor with real experience in dealing with it didn\u2019t want anything to do with Trump\u2019s plans for it. So they gave the job to Gomez Addams, instead. Looking ahead, at least on a story that\u2019s already got a long and checkered past, Todd Blanche and the DOJ might kinda sorta be in some trouble over the Epstein Files. But you know how that whole executive branch accountability thing goes. Though there are still some solid efforts being made at reviving the concept. It\u2019s all the more important, given that the leopards who ate the faces of the original \u201crelitigate Watergate\u201d champions are now looking to relitigate Watergate. Are you old enough to remember when ICE was spending like a drunken sailor, buying up every warehouse it could find and trying to \u201cWhydontchajust\u201d them into detention centers? Well, now they\u2019re trying to un-whydontchajust \u2019em (and pin the blame on Kristi Noem). One last thing to stow away for the weekend: the next blossoming scandal has dropped! Trump\u2019s looking to exploit LA28 Olympic organizers\u2019 need to stay on \u201cthe government\u2019s\u201d good side by squeezing them for some kind of quasi-affiliated, pre-Olympics golf tournament at his LA club. That\u2019s not even a thing! But neither is remaining president while suffering from degenerative dementia.
