Vance has big fund raising trip to Britain

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Vice President JD Vance secured $4 million for the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a fundraising trip to the United Kingdom last week, meeting with American donors in the Cotswolds and Scotland, a source familiar with the matter told the New York Post.

The funds, raised under federal rules allowing contributions from Americans abroad, add to the GOP’s financial reserves as it prepares for the 2026 midterms.

Vance, appointed RNC finance chair in March 2025, has been actively fundraising across the U.S. and now internationally, positioning himself as a key figure in President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement and a likely contender for the 2028 GOP presidential nomination.
...

While this money will be helpful to Republicans in the midterms coming up, it also demonstrates Vance's ability to prepare for a 2028 campaign of his own.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
