Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 1h ago"Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David, where he demanded answers from Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options ... "Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy for the shortages ... "
I do get the sense that Trump likes watching them squirm in order to keep his nomination. That shows him these are people who will be obedient.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 11h agoholy 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!
Has anyone on X even tried a delicious liver burrito?

I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
A lot of people in the comments talking about the spend differential but I think El-Sayed winning despite that, plus past examples like in 1994 Michael Huffington spending an insane (at the time) 28 million on his CA senate race and losing anyway show the limits of money in the big races.
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 14h agoMy ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?

🚂Cameron🌐🥑🔰🏗️🌇🌮🚝 🦁🚲@csreid.bsky.social · 2d agoThere's also a huge bias to think old stuff is really durable, because the really durable stuff is all that's left (for obvious reasons). Brand new cars used to break down on the highway!
'but it was so charming and sleepy fifty years ago" I am very sorry that the world economy decided to dump a jumbo jet full of money on your placid hometown every three hours for thirty years but here we are
If even a single municipal level Democrat talked like this it would be a week-long national scandal, complete with op-eds & podcasts from Ezra Douthglesias about how they are out of touch & don’t respect Real Folkz. This? Not even news. Total 🦗🦗 from those folks.
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 3w agoMiller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person.

You have to wonder if it's one of the Hegseth promotions who sent out that email. Loyalty to Trump more important than competence.
