Good news! You’re probably gonna find great deals on cruises in the coming days! Bad news: a potentially pandemic-level virus has broken out … on a cruise.
The Hantavirus cruise story is probably the best way to describe this week. It’s been a long, dark week both at sea and in our politics.
Trump continues to insist that he holds all the cards in the war excursion mini-war with Iran, despite evidence to the exact opposite. On May 5th, Trump abruptly hit pause on "Project Freedom,” which had been going strong since … [checks notes] …May 3rd. We learned that Saudi Arabia had revoked our use of Prince Sultan Airbase and Saudi airspace.
But don’t worry — Trump has a single-page “memorandum of understanding” with 14 points that will end the war. Oh, and he’s also posting garbage like this image in his all-night social media binges.
Meanwhile, Republicans in red states like Tennessee and Alabama are frantically redistricting to ensure that Democrats will not win a single seat in their state. A side bonus for MAGA: the move disenfranchises black voters.
But don’t worry — the Supreme Court says that’s okay.
