This RedState morning roundup bundles the Air Force One decoy story in with cat memes, a nickname for progressive candidates, AOC's relationship status, gun industry lawsuits, and Wisconsin primary complaints. The piece frames media criticism of the secret flight as an overreaction, arguing reporters would have celebrated the same maneuver under a different president.

On the substantive point, the column asks what the Secret Service should have done differently, without engaging with the actual controversy over deceiving the press pool. It closes by predicting that if Obama had pulled this stunt, coverage would have treated it as heroic.

The rest of the digest touches a Fifth Circuit ruling against a Biden-era stove rule, a Texas surrogacy custody fight, and Trump's planned visit to a Nassau County police academy, treating each with the same breezy aggregation style.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Comparing coverage of a secretly staged distraction flight to hypothetical Obama fan-fiction is not analysis, it's a shrug wearing a blazer. The piece never actually defends deceiving the traveling press corps, it just changes the subject to Susan and her vases.
