“he was confronted by Trump over the bare weapons stockpile, Hegseth defended himself & blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, for the shortages & for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised of the issue” Throwing underlinings under the bus for your own incompetence will go over well in the military.🙄

I'm legit obsessed with Trump's effort to distract from his own corruption by having Scott Brady, who helped criminally frame Joe and Hunter Biden, claim to care about fraud. Here's the meeting they had today.

A picture of something fraudsters call a fraud task force. Stephen Miller and Andrew Ferguson flank JD Vance. Among those present are Ashley Moody and Joni Ernst.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
