Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

But this won’t hold water.
If Trump and Hegseth claim Bradley is at fault and exceeded his orders, why was Hegseth crowing about the strikes publicly and why hasn’t he removed Bradley?
The strike happened in September and witnesses claim the video made the double tap horrifyingly clear.

My strongest political opinion today is that when weather conditions make driving unsafe, public institutions have a responsibility to close for the safety of their employees and patrons.

A recent poll shows that only 25% of California likely Democratic voters would vote for Gavin Newsom in 2028, which would be a devastating number for most candidates. He's the sitting governor with 100% name recognition in a deep blue state, & still only 25%? Wild.

"The al-Awlaki strike was an overreach by the Obama white house, and should not have been approved by OLC" is a completely defensible position.
"Obama and Trump are two sides of the same coin, and the current drug boat strikes are the same as Obama's GWOT-era military policy" is complete lunacy.

Every single one of them has to be purged from government and politics, and the institutions they have used as their thugs and executioners, starting with the Navy Seals, need to be ripped apart. Anyone who facilitated this abomination must face cold and dispassionate justice

Not that weird, in the 50s/60s they literally created "Zionism is racism" while doing racism against their own Jews.
Russia is simply as malignant or worse than any state it's in opposition to. They've been a wrecker for the last century.

One of the weirder things of the past decade is watching the online creation of an an intransigent “left” in American politics that’s only served Russian interests of destabilization of the West and world order.
