Perhaps, in hindsight, forcing out the most experienced national security senior executives, and having counterterrorism and counterintelligence agents and analysts spend their time assisting on immigration roundups, might not have been the most well-thought out ideas.
Michael Feinberg embodies FBI’s motto: “fidelity, bravery, integrity.” He did everything right but was pushed out for a friendship with someone on Patel’s “enemies list.” We’re losing our best natl sec experts — all bc the admin is hellbent on personal vendettas.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”
It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.
KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.”
@sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.
That’s not Vance Boelter and his wife
4: Stopping courts from holding Trump officials in contempt for ignoring court orders, gutting their ability to ensure Trump follows the law.
Everyone needs to be sounding the alarm on these sneaky additions to the spending bill.
I am not going to let them get away with this.
There was no need to federalize the National Guard. There’s surely no need to bring in the Marines. This is all about a weak, despotic man sowing chaos and conflict. He must be opposed and revealed for what he is. www.americaamerica.news/p/pushing-ba...
Why do we even have the confirmation hearings if they lie about what they will do or not do?
The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?
When Trump...
-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business
It's corruption, plain and simple.
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

I'm still not clear why the @nytimes.com went along the idea that a presidential library owning a jet for the personal use of the ex-president was anything that real presidential libraries do. Weird.
I mean, don’t all libraries have $400 million luxury jets in their collection?

The theme that unites Trump’s inept handling of deportations, his trampling on human & civil rights, his rejection of the rule of law, his dictatorial centralization of power, & his utterly inept handling of the economy is the ineptness itself.

I’m calling it the No-plan-demic.
I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

Trump spent the entire campaign saying that tariffs are the “most beautiful” thing ever.
Why doesn’t he want Amazon to show them off?
Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent.
Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent.
We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.
