Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

It does somehow sum everything up neatly. Trashy vulgarian unilaterally decides to tear up an iconic American building as though it’s one of his tacky private clubs, rather than a national monument he has very temporarily (and foolishly) been permitted to inhabit.
Not sure why this image is so shocking, given everything he’s done but: it’s shocking!

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

Trump did this
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer.
This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.

This should not be viewed in isolation from the workarounds to renaming army installations, the removal of predominantly women flag officers from positions they earned, and the decision to grant funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. All designed to shape and re-write history in service of a select group.
The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said.
