Pete Hegseth has failed in every mission except one: keeping his job. But firing or forcing out everyone else in the Pentagon will not make Pete Hegseth into the secretary of defense America and its men and women in uniform need. Me on Driscoll's resignation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mullin says that election officials in states that don’t cooperate with the Trump administration may face jail time

As someone who’s been doing candidate recruitment for a decade: This is so so so aggressively NOT how you do it.
The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

"Why elect a policy wonk … when you could send Congress a longtime Manhattan litigator and onetime Republican, plenty familiar with GOP hardball, who’s now playing for Team Democracy and the Democrats?"
My case for why more NY-12 Dems should consider an ex-GOP high-profile lawyer aiming to remove Trump and prevent future wannabe kings. What good is any policy success, by any Congress or president, if the next president can unilaterally, illegally, blow it all up? open.substack.com/pub/historyk...

The way to square this circle, and some Dems get this a lot better than Jeffries, is that the lawlessness and corruption, i.e. accountability, and cost-of-living affordability are all the same issue. Trump's making things more expensive because of all the wildly illegal and corrupt stuff he's doing!

Actually it is like a marriage proposal in that you should elect someone who’s committed, honest, intelligent and mature. There are over 300 million people in America. Surely we don’t have to lower the bar to find 535 people who are qualified to serve in Congress.
“Every election is a choice, not a marriage proposal.” @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social discuss whether voters should care about Graham Platner’s campaign controversies—or focus on the issues.
