As a conservative, I’ve always advocated for a government small enough that it could militarily occupy several American cities at the same time, against the stated wishes of local elected officials. It should also be small and nimble enough so that it can zip tie children together at 1AM.

The SecDef wants all service commanders and their senior enlisted advisors to come to Quantico on short notice. It’s difficult to understand why.

Couldn’t Hegseth’s in-person meeting of all flag officers have been a secure conference call?

Interesting (if anecdotal) insight.
Definitely. On our rural Texas lakehouse Nextdoor, people are reacting as if Jesus were just crucified.
These people gave us Trump.

Communications Director of the Nebraska Republican Party. But she's not a nazi, guys, and you would be crazy for thinking so!!! (sarcasm font)

We are certain she's thirsty for attention, though

It's funny that LEO's can arrest a reputed crime boss with underlings ready to murder from one of the 5 families bold and bare faced.

But bringing in Abuelita Guadalupe who sells tortillas outside of church on Sunday is just way too risky.

Hey @electdemocrats.bsky.social, I’m with you in theory, but your fundraising texts insult my intelligence. Seriously, would you respond to a text that began with this:

No. No, you wouldn’t.

I just realized I’ve been conflating Kenny Loggins and Eddie Rabbitt for 40 years or more.

How are they not the same person?!?

Notice this morning at their website that the High Plains Regional Climate Center, funded by NOAA and located here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has been shut down. They provide valuable climate data especially for agricultural purposes. This is not good.

Protocol is clear. Every single official on that Signal chain needs to hand over their mobile devices.

Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Marco Rubio—all of them.

This is a matter of national security and the rule of law.

If it were anyone else, Republicans would call for this too.

If you are a foreigner, you probably should not visit the U.S., but if you absolutely have to, you should “enter” at a pre-clearance site (like Ireland or Canada) so that you’re denied entry in a place where the U.S. government won’t detain you or confiscate your property.
Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

I called Sen. Tom Cotton and asked for his latest positions on Iran and North Korea. The Constituent Services people said he had no positions. What kind of BIZZARO WORLD are we in that Sen. Tom Cotton no longer has a position on IRAN? #arpx

Each one of these states threatens U.S. interests. Yet they are far from a coherent bloc and largely pose threats independent of one another.

So far, Trump has only done one thing that surprised me — taking over the Kennedy Center. Literally everything else he has done has been 100% predictable. All of it terrible, but forgive me if I don’t bat an eyelash. Everybody saw all of this coming, no matter whom you voted for.
