REMEMBER: It’s Secretary of DEFENSE & NOT War! It was changed from War to Defense for a REASON. Bravo Senator Captain Kelly. You are a true PATRIOT!🙏💙
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.

Throwing the admiral under the bus.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Republicans are acting terrified of TN-7.
I don’t think it’s about the seat itself as it is another opportunity for them to look extremely unpopular and weak and fake-dominance is what holds it all together.

Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat?

Bombing boats, when you don't know who or what is on board without stopping to check, and then order the survivors, holding on to the wreckage, killed is murder. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlue2026

Altogether, at the meeting in Miami, Ukrainian delegation stated repeatedly that they cannot give up any territory as this is forbidden by the constitution of Ukraine, while the US delegation pressured them to discuss giving up “for sure” Donbass.
There was no progress on that point.

try to imagine the media firestorm if the military was conducting strikes and obama, clinton, or biden said "i dont know anything about it" and how the media just shrugs at trump saying the same thing.
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

One of the things prosecutors must show in a murder trial is the defendant's intent. Intent can be tricky to prove, so one day a lawyer or two will thank Pete Hegseth for proving it for them. He's smart that way.

MAGA might still be on the Trump train, but Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. They know he’s weak, and that weakness gives them cover to finally distance themselves.

Someone needs to say it. Trump 2028 isn’t happening.
We know the presidency ages you, and we’re witnessing his rapid decline. His approval is buried in the 30s, and his stamina is gone. He won’t be able to vigorously campaign.
He can pretend 2028 is inevitable, but everyone can see the truth.

That wealth supports workers — and, by extension, their families. As a European, I can vouch for this.
