As this is "Day Two," I'm going to check to see if there are no longer taxes on tips, the border has been sealed, and the war in Ukraine is over. 👀

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?"
"What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?"
"How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

NOW a warning?!
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

A petulant child is a child who is easily annoyed and behaves in an unreasonable or unjustified manner, often when they don't get their way. Petulant children may whine, sulk, or throw tantrums.

Watch for the white shirts in the front row cheering.
It was our annual Seats for Soldiers Nite.
Our front row season ticket holders give their seats to active and former military.
Last night we had 42 Purple Heart recipients watch the Mavs pull out the win !
