This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

I can believe that OLC's 'Murder Memo' for the boat strikes may have been tightly held (at least initially) within the executive branch—including because it couldn't withstand scrutiny. But the notion that it exists in hard copy only? Did OLC compose it on a classified typewriter?

The renewed political smear campaign against Jack Smith comes as GOP faces massive losses in midterms. It is a distraction and a lie. Smith did his job as a prosecutor — investigated the facts, found evidence of crimes that could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and filed charges.

Hegseth is a great example of a common type of officer who's ended up in charge of something, doesn't have a clue how to do the job, and just falls back on PT, grooming, slogans, and searching for scapegoats. If you put him in charge of a Cinnabon he would do the exact same things.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

I feel like portraying yourself as "of the troops" and telling "sir stories" about how subordinates tell you they've never felt so supported before and repeatedly calling them "E-6s" instead of "Staff Sergeants" are a bit at-odds with one another.

You want an example of focusing on culture war bullshit instead of warfighting, THIS is it. Hegseth isn't worried about the fact that he's set US policy goals in the Gulf back literal decades, no, he's too busy monitoring soldiers' testosterone levels and reveling in what slurs he gets to use.
