Your daily elevator pitch news update:

  • Early this morning, there was an explosion in London at the Parson Green tube station. Police are describing it as a “terrorist incident.” This story is still developing. (Update: See Michael van der Galien’s report here.)
  • North Korea has fired another missile over Japan. The missile was fired from an airfield near Pyongyang and traveled over 2300 miles before landing in the ocean. This is the second time North Korea has fired a missile over Japan.
  • Ben Shapiro spoke last night at Berkeley and the “free speech” event required $600,000 in security measures to protect attendees and Ben from adult babies who can’t control their violent impulses when confronted with differing opinions. Nine adult babies were arrested.
  • The media is buzzing about a New York Times story that describes the rather icy relationship between Attorney General Sessions and President Trump. Several sources told the Times that Trump called Sessions an “idiot,” humiliated him and wanted him to resign.
  • Harvard rescinded its invitation for a visiting fellowship to treasonous Chelsea Manning. CIA Director Mike Pompeo cancelled a scheduled appearance and former CIA director Mike Morell also resigned as a senior fellow in protest. What was Harvard thinking?
  • A hot mic reveals the Senate minority leader bragging of President Trump: “He likes us. He likes me anyway.”
