Hegseth's advocacy of war crimes is now such a frequent occurrence it draws scant attention. Thank goodness for Brian Finucane... bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

Nah. Nobody voted for him; he's an admiral. He's a Pentagon guy doing what Pentagon guys always do. He's as wrong as republican Petraeus (and incompetent Rice). Denounce him. Ignore him.

How Trump’s War on Iran Is Hastening the Coming MAGA Crack-Up Another Middle East war is exactly what the young voters and voters of color who flocked to Trump in 2024 did not sign up for.

What @gregsargent.bsky.social sees here is quite apparent. The larger challenge is convincing duped voters that deception and betrayal are elemental to the assemblage of a viable GOP coalition. They need to turn, durably, on the whole party, not just this one guy.

Column: Promising free college tuition is good politics -- and a good idea Promising free college tuition is obvious politics -- and a good idea

The most compelling idea so far in the CA governor’s race:

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

If it costs $830 million+ to erect a new building, should the direct construction expense of $720 million be used in the headline? Also, is every New York-based story about L.A. required to lead with a weather report - “75 and sunny”? share.google/Kd2nlPOjKQe9...

Look at these two ignorant assholes. Per military uniform regulations, personnel in uniform salute, while non-uniformed personnel (including veterans) should place their right hand over their heart. Regs don’t mention wearing a baseball cap.
