Looks like a ‘just the facts, ma’am’ edition today. Largely b/c there are a lot of facts to plow through. Don’t worry, we’ll insert some levity/snark into the proceedings.

House Passes Foreign Aid Bill. It must feel liberating to House R’s to tell Trump to go bleep himself. He can’t run candidates against every R who supported funding for Ukraine: The House passed a sweeping $95 billion package Saturday to aid foreign allies amid global threats, showcasing broad support for America’s role in the ..read more

Duane and Gregg got top billing, but the Allman Brothers wouldn’t have become a household name, or forged a sound that spawned an entire genre of rock, without the contributions of Dickey Betts, who died yesterday at age 80.
