Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

I call BULL SHIT when the Neurosurgery Department completely shutdown in the Settle VA on Feb 20, 2026. Shutting down rhe complete Neurosurgery Department at the Seattle VA on Feb 20th 2026 does not make ANYTHING easier for Veterans. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.
"Shoot first, ask questions later" is not how the use of force works. Especially not a stone's throw from a city and a civilian airport. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH
The El Paso Balloon Incident Could Have Been a Disaster
Shooting experimental lasers next to a major airport without telling anyone—what could go wrong?

"They went into Minneapolis with the assumption that we'd see the equivalent of George Floyd...they wanted to provoke this. And the discipline that freedom-loving Americans have shown in this—I think it's been incredible." Adam Kinzinger on Minnesotans refusal to take the bait.
Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.
“Orders are presumed lawful… however, if an order is patently unlawful, then soldiers are not bound to follow it.” Ben Parker with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) and former JAG Margaret Donovan on the legal gray zones for troops as JAGs are reassigned to immigration court.
In our history we’ve had Cabinets with people who were bad at their jobs, but good people who meant well. We’ve had people who were good at their jobs, but bad people. But we’ve not had one like Trump’s filled with people who are both garbage humans and terrible at their jobs.
"The rise of Trump came at a time of relative peace and prosperity. We have no excuse for having succumbed to the degree we already have."
10 Years of Trump, and the Alarm Keeps Going Off
Every day of the past decade has felt like Groundhog Day.

Great conversation with Texas AG candidate Tony Box for ‘On Democracy.’ He’s a fellow former Army officer and combat veteran as well as an FBI Agent, Congressional investigator and prosecutor. He knows what right looks like and this isn’t it. Watch it now on @meidastouch.com
They're rubbing our faces in the corruption. These aren't "red flags" they're blatant deals giving needed tax dollars to line the former Governor's "non-profit" which has no public mission beyond his library and some sort of "help people" paragraph. This is one party rule. Let's end it this fall.
A $250,000 earmark in Missouri’s budget for a nonprofit founded by former Gov. Mike Parson — including money drawn from a federal program designed to help low-income families — is raising red flags for Democratic lawmakers. #moleg #mogov

If you thought Kyle Rittenhouse was justified in openly carrying at a protest, but Alex Pretti deserved to die because he was carrying - congrats! You're a piece of shit
This is what happens when you give Corey Lewandowski effective control of DHS. He is one out of control bad life choice after another.
Republican politicians just never learn that loyalty goes one way for Trump.
Trump Shivs Another One
Bill Cassidy learns an easy lesson the hard way.

Probably just a minor point worth noting, but as Trump threatens new tariffs on wine imports it just so happens that he is also in the wine business so the tariffs would benefit him personally.
That Melania sleeps alone? And that he thinks terrorizing entire countries and destroying NATO (for Putin) is funny?
NYT documents how Trump made at least $1.4 billion off the presidency during his first year in office, although that is not the full amount since many of his other deals are hidden from the public. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
