When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

The first Trump-Class battleship is expected to cost $17.5 billion, with the next two at $14.5 billion each, $36.5 billion total for 3. A Naval warship expert describes them as hugely expensive, easily targeted behemoths that drain funding for cheaper alternatives that the U.S. Navy actually needs.
