I'd like to send you a free copy of my political satire set in Nebraska, "The Worst Year of Their Lives." Best satire since Veep. Setting is a sacrificial lamb Congressional race. Let me know if you want the ebook.

Muskrat cries, "Who takes joy" in the cratering of Tesla stock, to which millions reply, "WE DO! SO MUCH JOY!"

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

In today's hearing Radcliffe says basically "Nobody died because of the exposure of attack plans, so it's all good." Any member of the military using that defense would be locked up in Leavenworth soon after. #SignalGate

If an ignorant amateur doesn't understand what classified info is, it doesn't mean he didn't commit a crime when he shared it on an unsecured device. Our national security team is staffed by ignorant amateurs. #SignalGate

NBC News story with the headline: Tulsi Gabbard fires more than 100 intelligence officers over messages in a chat tool. A picture of Gabbard sits beneath the headline

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Satire alert. A math problem for Trump2: if Hegseth's fired this week, how many Scaramucci's will this have been?

Satire Alert: Trump Administration invokes Divine Right of Kings to prevent Judges from getting obviously incriminating information.

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

Bennet: Did you know the President’s Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread? This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for him is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

Hysterical! I live in Tucson, where Bernie and AOC drew 34,000 people. Have you seen the Tucson airport?? It could fit in a fast food parking lot. Those folks are from Arizona! LOL LOL

I'm originally from Omaha and had relatives still on the farm near Columbus. Farmers live or die on accurate weather information. Congrats, rural Nebraska! You should have voted like Omaha, the Blue Dot.

One Of Ruben Gallego’s Top Strategists Explains How They Won A Senate Seat In A State That Swung Hard For Trump Democrats at the national level were soundly defeated in all seven presidential...

Raphael Chavez-Fernandez, one of Gallego’s top strategists, credited their win to focusing on voters’ quality of life, robust outreach efforts, and a “juggling act” with Joe Biden.

I'm a retired Poli Sci professor and I never make these calls. Members of the House votes almost 100% on party lines no matter which organized groups call. They vote Party, then economic benefits for their District, then donors. Some intern keeps a count of calls and emails. That's it.

Writer folks; dramedy is my genre. Not looking for my big break. Looking to write my best work and cheer others on. Best known as a playwright. Writing fiction since covid ("The Book of Brad" published by me, because publishing is just nuts these days).

Political folks, I often post commentary here. Former Congressional nominee when I was young and stupid. Got a Ph.D and taught all over the US and in Egypt at the American University in Cairo. Dissertation was on separation of church and state. Spoiler alert, I'm for it.
