You can't make it up, Friday edition

 Leadership.  That's why Titan went too deep and came apart, killing its five occupants.  The Biden administration failed to provide leadership sooner.  So says Dan Crenshaw, who has been hearing "a lot of concerning things from people," i.e., many people are saying.  Stricter regulation of the whole submersible shipwreck tourism industry is certainly not what he wants, being from Texas where "regulation" is a dirty word like "rights" and "RINO."  "Where exactly that leadership failure is, I don't know.  Is it the White House, Coast Guard, Navy?  I don't know."  (It is the White House.  Count on it.)

Indiana Moms for Liberty are holding an early summer get-together this weekend featuring "a class in Biblical Citizenship," whatever that is, a celebration of their school voucher efforts, the outing of those who fund Carmel Pride, and a vow:  "Moms for Liberty will not be intimidated by hate groups!"  If you don't want to be mistaken for a hate group, maybe don't quote Hitler in your ads.

It goes without saying that the Hitler-quoting Moms have booked an all-star slate of speakers:  Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Dennis Prager and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  Kennedy is coming off a Twitter encomium from Tucker Carlson that has to be read -- quoting doesn't do justice to the brainstorm on display here.  He calls Kennedy "the most censored famous person in the United States," with "censored" meaning "no responsible person shares his opinions about vaccines, Ukraine, cell phones, the 1918 flu pandemic or LGBTQ people."  

Here's a gem from our "Huh?" collection:  A bill to give disabled people more options for voting was vetoed by Greg Abbott.   Yes, that Greg Abbott.

On June 15 a truck accident caused a fire that destroyed a section of I-95 where this major artery runs through Philadelphia.  Today it reopened, months earlier than expected, with construction workers laboring around the clock and disaster funding from the state and federal governments.  A jet dryer was borrowed from NASCAR to speed the work.  For coordinating this extraordinary effort Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg received a special commendation from the House of Representatives -- ah, gotcha, of course he didn't!  Dan Crenshaw wants hearings to demand why he allowed the truck to crash in the first place.

Malefactors of great derp:  "Roosevelt said you can judge a person by the enemies they make.  By that standard, I'm doing pretty damn well," said Adam Schiff.  He also reported, "I want to thank Kevin McCarthy and the MAGA Republicans for censuring me.  My Senate campaign has just raised over $20M."
