Happy Tuesday. On this day in 1790, Thomas Jefferson became the first Secretary of State to use a private server, which is what he could have called his slaves.

THE CITY OF BRUSSELS is in a full lockdown on Tuesday after two explosions at the Airport and a third at a Metro station have left as many as 28 people dead.

“DO YOU ALL REMEMBER how beautiful and safe a place Brussels wss [sic]. Not anymore, it is from a different world! U.S. must be vigilant and smart!” Donald Trump tweeted just after 7 AM EDT because it’s important to exploit terror as quickly and cravenly as possible.

HE THEN APPEARED ON "FOX AND FRIENDS" to blame American officials whom he didn’t name – which makes sense because he probably cannot name his own foreign policy advisory team, which includes a guy whose LinkedIn profile brags of his participation in the Model UN... which probably impressed Trump as a place to meet models.

CNN HOSTED the five remaining presidential candidates Monday night, basically asking them to repeat their pandering to a right-wing pro-Israel lobbying group, from earlier in the day.

TRUMP RATTLED OFF A LIST of his pro-Israel accomplishments, including having many Jewish friends, winning some unspecified awards, and being grand marshal of a parade in New York, which is full of Jews.

THE CONTENDERS HAD SPENT the afternoon speaking at the annual conference for AIPAC - an interest group that speaks for Israel the way the Nixon family speaks for the state of California.

BUT NOW ANALYSTS THINK that his unique brand of misogyny, racism and complete lack of knowledge about anything that isn’t a poll with his name in it, could cost the GOP its 59-seat advantage in the House of Representatives.

FOR THEIR PART, DEMOCRATS SAY they see a “sudden opportunity” – which is just a fancy phrase for “a raving clown who insults anyone who can recognize he contradicts himself between sentences.”

GOOGLE TRIED to make glasses cool, and failed. Now Apple is determined to bring the pencil back.

ON MONDAY THE TECH GIANT announced the pint-sized iPhone SE and always conveniently overpriced iPad Pro, devices that you don’t need and will surely be laying out hundreds of dollars for in the near future. But the real news was the announcement of replacement Apple Pencil tips that will come in four packs for $19.

NO, USING YOUR CELL PHONE IN THE DARK DOES NOT CAUSE EYE CANCER. But you are still allowed to tell people who use their phones at the movies that this is absolutely true.
