I still can’t believe we have a Fox News host running our military.

Hegseth: "It turns out the regime who chanted 'death to America' and 'death to Israel' was gifted death from American and death from Israel. This is not a so-called 'regime change war,' but the regime sure did change."

When the Iraq War really went south, the initial assurances from Bush administration officials, with their serious and sober analysis, came back to haunt them.

This cutesy jokes from Pete Hegseth -- not known for his sobriety in any case -- sound dumb now but they are going to age like raw milk.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

For the most part, it was only MAGA sycophants handpicked be part of Hegseth's Pentagon press corps who got to ask questions this morning.

There were a handful of actual journalists from legitimate media organizations who were allowed to attend. Of course, this is the way they were treated.

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes.

And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

A Directionless War Meets a Constitutional Crisis Welcome to the new era of Trumpism.

Hegseth: β€œWe didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”

The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.
