Here’s some “breaking” news from Saturday, but it’s only now just being reported. Remember when some blue-check journalist thought he was “defending” Rep. Elijah Cummings against President Trump’s “attack” on him and his rodent-infested district by daring Trump to stay in Cummings house just one night?

Mr. President, try staying 1 night where Congressman Cummings lives in Charm City and you may not last until morning. The honorable representative from MD’s 7th has served #Baltimore with pride & integrity. He is right to demand justice, at the border & in his House committee — Ben Piven (@benpiven) July 27, 2019

“You may not last until morning” didn’t really come across as a reassurance that Baltimore is a well-run, safe, clean place to live. And who knows, if Trump had stayed the night, the Secret Service might have caught the burglar that broke into Cummings’ home.

We are just learning about this but it happened Saturday—same day the president started tweeting about Rep. Cummings @wjz — Mike Hellgren (@HellgrenWJZ) August 1, 2019

That’s an odd tidbit to add. Are you ready for the hot take? Slip on some oven mitts before scrolling down:

Right, the burglar traveled forward in time to read Trump's tweets so that he could use them as justification ? Idiot — ?? BUt mUh InPEecHmiNT ? (@k_ovfefe) August 1, 2019

Someone looking for the missing billions? — Shadowbanned dagny (@dukeblu85) August 1, 2019

Maybe the burglars were looking for the $16 billion the federal government sent to Cummings’ district in 2018? No one seems to know where it was spent.

Oh please- he doesn’t even know if anything was taken – lol. #AttentionWhore — Grateful_Mom (@mom_grateful) August 1, 2019

Now he has plausible deniability if someone asks him where certain things went. “Dunno; musta gotten stolen!” — Duke Selden (@DukeSelden) August 1, 2019

I’m sure they just happened to make off with his file cabinets full of all of his financial documents from the last 30 years — Scott S (@scotts_3101) August 1, 2019

This is too funny. It’s Trumps fault. ??????????? — TommyHour?? (@thomashourigan1) August 1, 2019

Funny…someone commits a crime with a gun…Dems blame the gun. Someone breaks into Cummings house…Dems blame Trump. Go figure. — Mitch Blackmore (@jugernautmitch) August 1, 2019

Just an undocumented entry. — Schwalbe:The Me-262 (@MikeTInnes) August 1, 2019

We’re not even going to get into the people saying there’s no way it was a coincidence and that Trump actually had some of his goons break into Cummings’ house for some reason. TDS is really affecting people’s brains.
