DECISION ON STUDENT DEBT RELIEF ANNOUNCED. Washington DC — This is the fourth announcement on announcing the federal government’s already-announced decision to decide on whether a decision on student debt relief should be announced.

NUCLEAR DOCUMENTS BOMBSHELL. Mar-A-Gulago — Former President Trump has finally disclosed the reasons for taking top secret files of nuclear information to his Florida home.

JUDGE ASKS TRUMP TO EXPLAIN WHY HE WANTS A SPECIAL MASTER WHEN BONDAGE GOALS ARE UNCLEAR. Mar-A-Gulago — A federal judge in Florida has given former president Trump until Friday to explain why he needs a Special Master and not Florida Man.

FIVE TAKEAWAYS FROM THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS. Washington DC — An empty carton of Moo Shu pork, a half-eaten Big Mac, two fortune cookies and a stale Dunkin donut. These takeaways will form the basis for public policy by the MAGAnarchy Party.
