Manchin was given power by the Democratic establishment and sloppy kisses by the D POTUS. But some libs were mean to him on Twitter. So he had no choice but to campaign for R's who will protect and enable Trump. www.thebulwark.com/p/frack-joe-...

(🔓) PROOF UNLOCKED: PROOF is now *unlocking* this major breaking news, because bots are swarming online lying about its contents. Here’s the truth, fully sourced: Trump agents working for Israel are covering up murders of Americans—and Trump refuses to stop this wartime Treason. Please SHARE this.

Susan Collins "does what Trump needs her to do to enact his agenda, and sometimes casts a protest vote—but only if she can prearrange it to be meaningless. She is a snake disguised as a muppet."

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

It's jaw-dropping how often Republicans rationalize the toddler president's tantrums with "well, our special little boy felt like people were being mean to him, so it's certainly understandable that he set the room on fire"
Welker: "Do you agree with the president's ban [of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico]?" Barrasso: "We all respect and value the freedom of the press; it's in the Constitution…The press has an obligation to report fairly, and the president doesn't see it happening that way."

The neo-Nazi party made huge gains in the German elections thanks to the backing of the world‘s biggest billionaire and most prominent publicizer of white nationalist conspiracies on the planet. Good thing there’s no comparable relationship in the US for our media to explore.
I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

With technologies like precision targeting and stealth, America could build fewer of everything. No one could compete with us in this realm. Drones are a fundamental challenge to the economics of violence. And we don't seem to understand it.

When you go to war because you believe - and only planned for - the Best Case Scenario, this is what happens. A real SECDEF would never have allowed it. But a TV host with no defense background beyond an Army career that never got past Major isn't a real SECDEF
Get back to more urgent issues in your area, s.v.p. What is your take on the Navy fiasco re: USS Lincoln, the destruction of a good deal of its supply base in Bahrain, impact on war PR, etc? Thank you.

Let's not hear "The Republicans are the fiscally responsible party" for a little while, okay?

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."
