The Hegseth stuff nicely demonstrates that kicking critical reporters out of the room doesn't get you better press, it just means you do stupid stuff without answering hard questions until it becomes a crisis

This is the peak of 20th century sci-fi

Yes, it’s like if the Third Reich modeled itself not after Rome but the Brady Bunch

Open tailgate window so we can breathe in the lead again

I was not the arrested suspect. Or maybe I am and they forgot to take my phone away.
