Pretty clear in Trump’s broken thinking getting this oil will keep Americans placated with lower gas prices since that’s the only economic indicator that matters. Meanwhile Rubio and Hegseth are in fantasyland

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women.
Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted.
And everyone in that room knows it.
