*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

oh my god

EXCLUSIVE: After Kennedy Center cancels LGBTQ+ musical, Guster brings cast on stage in protest Finn's run at the storied DC venue was axed after Trump took over.

EXCLUSIVE: Tonight at the Kennedy Center, Guster brought on cast members from Finn, an LGBTQ+ kids musical that was recently canceled when Trump took over the center. They performed the band’s song “Hard Times” to a standing ovation.

Full story, exclusive quotes and video on The Handbasket:

"It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies" wrote Dr Marks.

Yep

Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding for programs with 'improper ideology' President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on the Smithsonian Institution that targets funding to programs that contain what he calls “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”

First Trump removes any reference of diversity from the present — now he’s trying to remove it from our history.

Let me be PERFECTLY clear— you cannot erase our past and you cannot stop us from fulfilling our future.

Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat.

Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.”

They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this?

Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

It was the Dunninge of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Trump trying to conquer Canada and referring to Canada’s defense as “abusive” in the same sentence is such a clear example of how DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) works in geopolitics

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Opinion | Putin Wins the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office Spectacle Vice President Vance starts a public fight that only helps Russia’s dictator.

"as with the war, Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?” — WSJ edit board

On @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social just now, former US ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands said Americans "don't want to pay for another of Zelensky's yachts".

The claim that Zelensky is using US aid to buy yachts is an old piece of disinformation directly originating from Russia. It's not true.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Opinion | A Day of American Infamy (Gift Article) A dreadful moment for Ukraine, for the free world, for the legacy of an America that once stood for the principles of the Atlantic Charter.

Strong words from Bret Stephens: “Roosevelt and Reagan must be spinning in their graves, as are Churchill and Thatcher. It’s up to the rest of us to reclaim America’s honor from the gangsters who besmirched it in the White House.”

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

100 percent. It was classic malignant narcissism on display. Been there, done that. Especially the berating for not being grateful enough.
