So a woman is held in Nebraska against her will and against medical protocols because Florida’s surgeon general believes in “medical freedom” while Trump/Kennedy say lock her up with a 24 hr guard 🙄 washingtonpost.com/health/20…

News: Secret Service officials are furious that FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday morning the details of a sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into a plot to attack the UFC fight event this weekend with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident. Secret Service and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week, and had discussed unsealing the case and making an announcement later that day. The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was the case had been sealed in court and roughly ten suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel made his public social media post. Secret Service and FBI officials had discussed seeking to make more arrests, unseal the case by late Tuesday afternoon and make a joint public statement, and were surprised by Patel “jumping the gun.” “We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter,” said one administration official, who like others, asked to speak confidentially to discuss sensitive matters. The threat to the UFC event became known to the Secret Service and FBI in the last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area, according to two people briefed on the probe, and reporting that their relative was talking about engaging in some vague plot in DC. An advanced threat interdiction team at the Secret Service, with the help of the FBI, began seeking a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread and then were able to identify the plot being planned and some of the people discussing using drones and possible snipers to attack the UFC fight event at the White House’s South lawn. Authorities then arrested one suspect on June 13 and moved immediately to seal the case so the FBI and Secret Service could continue investigating and identifying and arresting additional suspects. The Secret Service also dramatically increased its plans for security around the event as a precaution, and put out an alert to its law enforcement partners to be on the lookout for people with drones in downtown Washington and other identifying information. Matt Quinn, the Secret Service’s deputy director, called out Patel’s premature announcement in a Tuesday news conference but did not use his name and said the Secret Service made a conscious decision not to reveal the existence of the probe prematurely. “I’ll tell you a phrase I learned early in my career in the New York field office and that’s `Don’t choke on your own smoke,” he said. “I’ll tell you the Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. I’ll tell you that case is ongoing. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it.” He said he was choosing not to discuss extensive details of the case because it remained sealed and ongoing.

I never saw the Knicks in a Finals before this year. I’ve never seen the Jets in a Super Bowl. The 2015 Mets lost the World Series in 5. The 2014 Rangers lost the Cup in 5. This is officially the closest I have ever been to seeing a professional championship. One. More. Win.

Update?

I 🩷 NYC so much. This is so good

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

Pretty amazing considering NJ awarded EMR $132M in tax credits under a law that their political patrons designed. Angel Fuentes, then an assemblyman, was even one of the sponsors of the tax incentive law.

Morris Day and The Time: “Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at The Great American State Fair.”

No one could have predicted this “Jersey City was one of the busiest apartment-construction markets in the entire New York metro region, adding thousands of new units as developers chased the post-pandemic demand surge. When all that inventory came online at once, landlords had to compete on price to fill the units, which pulled rents down from their 2024 peak. The building boom is why renters are getting a break now."

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them. realclearpolitics.com/articl…

My son has a soccer game this weekend. He'd like me to go. I'm going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. He's a person I've known for a long time.

I do wish the broader left that dismisses this evil stuff could understand that it is as provocative as any of the rhetoric they deplore from the right and as morally indefensible.

nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/po… “The poll indicated that Democrats have not improved their political brand, even after more than a year of trying to demonstrate that they understand the concerns of voters... Just 26 percent of voters said they were satisfied with the Democratic Party.”

They played the Benny Hill music when they replayed this in the ballpark 😂

The president purchasing Nvidia shares a week before his own Commerce Department allows them to sell one of our most valuable assets to our main geopolitical opponent is unfathomably more corrupt than anything on Hilary Clinton's email server.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Famous tells: “It’s not you, it’s me.” “This isn’t about the money.” “We have nothing to hide.” “I’m just asking questions.” “This is not a golden calf.”

Is DHS Sec Markwayne Mullins going to investigate these ICE agents?

ICE pulled a gun on a NY teenager, beat him, and then realized they got the wrong guy. Like other cases targeting citizens, ICE dumped him in a random location far from his home, bloody and injured.
