Why aren’t the Congressional Democrats hounding the hapless republicans? This administration has the most incompetent cabinet members in history. We should be ridiculing that incompetence daily.

You know, the Dem leadership should be shadowing trump’s lies at his cabinet meetings, impromptu press conferences on planes, anytime he speaks because he spews provable lies. We should bang the drum of his lies every time he speaks because #trumplies just like he sweats. It is a part of his being.

The president posted/reposted more than 100 times last night from 7:20 pm to midnight, attacking Democrats and immigrants, pushing conspiracy theories (including from Alex Jones), proudly sharing the video when he called a woman reporter “stupid,” and much more. Wild stuff.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense:
"Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense.

It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.
