The common thread of this entire administration is that they all lie as easily as the breath.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

… while Pete brags about cutting 20% of military leadership. Perhaps just more testosterone is needed to speed up our drone program?

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently established a new combatant command focused on drone warfare, but it will likely be years before it yields results on the battlefield.”

So Senator Tillis regrets voting for a Fox News (weekend) host to be our Secretary of Defense, implying there was anything that qualified Hegseth for that position. I call b.s. - Tillis was just afraid of his orange leader.

Pete Hegseth is reducing the total number of positions for general and flag officers by as much as 20 percent, aka hundreds of leaders. Because who needs leadership when you’re in the middle of a losing war, right?

Federal district court judges like Indira Talwani — who effectively stopped Trump's plan to use the US Postal Service to restrict mail-in voting — deserve the gratitude and appreciation of all Americans. They are holding the line against the authoritarian bullies who threaten our freedoms.

Update: Iowa GOP state party chair Jeff Kaufmann has entered the chat. He did NOT condemn the antisemitic hate that is regularly directed at me. Instead he created a permission structure for further harassment.

My simple observation (that the Iowa State Fair "straw poll" doesn't accurately reflect the composition of Iowa's electorate) prompted a wave of antisemitic replies. Any Jewish person who thinks Republicans or conservatives are serious about "fighting antisemitism" is delusional.
