Trump's people are using blue curtains to hide empty seats at this evening's rally in Grand Island, Nebraska. Those accurate reports of poor turnout in Ohio and Alabama *really* got under his skin.

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

Wow this is the third Member of the Military today that has said that they’re going to fight a war nobody asked for in a Country that’s not a threat. The Military is sick of Pete Hegseth and this ridiculous War.

I signed up for 200, for TX this time. I said I was done after 400 — but James Talarico is vital to a working senate. Can I get a few of you to do 100? They go pretty quickly, with music or company. Kids can help. Postage is currently $.65 for postcards. Fun group effort.

It's important to note that with David Ellison pledging editorial independence, the day the Paramount merger closed, he visited the CBS newsroom and said he didn't want to politicize the company. Staffers at the time credited him for saying all the right things. We know how that turned out for CBS.

You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.

Seriously… how can a party that insists on scrapping all progress with the EU, binning NetZero and leaving the ECHR, so that it can abuse its power without accountability… how can that party claim “the soul of the nation”. The ruin - maybe. The soul - definitely not.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.
