We’ve all been left out of our friend’s top-secret plans, right?

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney apparently had no idea that there was an operation to take down Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi going on until it was already happening. Mulvaney was reportedly at home in South Carolina at the time of the operation, but was briefed about the incident later that night. For the chief of staff to be left in the dark like this is unheard of and could indicate either gross incompetence (possible!) or that Trump is ready to drop him from the Trump administration clique any minute (also possible!).
