A note on the TN-07 special election. It’s way too soon to project out - we’re 11 months from the midterms. It bodes extremely well, but there will be another million outrages until that happens. Everyone should keep doing what they’re doing.

Many of us warned about the consequences of a convicted felon (& deranged lunatic) in the Oval Office and these boat strikes are a vivid manifestation of that decision.

I mean this is embarrassing, especially after the country was lectured about Biden being old. If this was Biden in a cabinet meeting it would have headlined in every media. But bc they are so addicted to the Trump show, it won’t even be mentioned.

We’re going to have a serious problem with this SCT if they think they’re going to sanction a lot of what is a going on. The legitimacy of the court will be on the line as not being on the level.
It’s already perilously close to that given what has transpired after their immunity decision.

POTUS and SecDef deny they’re responsible for the kill order described by the WaPo. Assuming the WaPo story to be accurate, the implication is that service members on the ground exceeded their orders or otherwise failed to follow the rules of engagement.
