Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Watching the president's cabinet polishing the president's undercarriage while live on television turns out to be a whole lot more boring (and even more repugnant) than you might have imagined it to be.

JD Vance deserves this
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Today I learned that Senile Satan controls hurricanes, and not just with a sharpie.

Kristi Noem: “You made it through the hurricane season without a hurricane. You kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that.”

Says the guy from Fox News…
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Bad news for Hegseth, it turns out the Pentagon is a big bureaucracy filled with people who got there because they know how to fight bureaucratic battles and they will wait for you to lie about something then leak details about it. Who knew?
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).

Wall Street Journal:

"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

Last week, Florida was hit with the largest electricity rate hike in the state's history, a $7 billion increase. The vote to approve the increase was unanimous and much of it will go to shareholder profits. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports:

My best understanding here from occasionally reading freight guy Twitter is that freight traffic has dropped precipitously under Trump (tariffs), the white freight guys want remaining jobs for themselves, so: no more schools that license immigrants

this is exactly why Mark Kelly et al did that spot telling military and intelligence officers they can refuse illegal orders — there's no way Hegseth or Trump will EVER accept blame for them
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

This is stunningly good reporting by two bylined reporters and six credited researchers, and it's undermined throughout by links to an "Ask the Post AI" that delivers insipid answers to its own contrived prompts under the guise of "More context on this article"

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
