The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

BREAKING: MS NOW EXCLUSIVE. Republican Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway. GOP Judiciary staff told Schmitt the texts — obtained from the Trump DOJ — were "unvetted." Schmitt still used them.
ms.now
Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

$500 right before the election won't help the 15 million people losing their insurance because of Medicaid cuts and expiring tax credits. And it won't come close to offsetting higher gas and other prices caused by an unnecessary war and chaotic tariffs.

President of Students for Life Kristan Hawkins wants to make abortion “unthinkable and unavailable.” Part of her strategy is talking to young people. But she has a problem. Most young people disagree with her completely.

Among other oddities with the suit (Federalist propagandist Margot Cleveland is one of her lawyers), they filed it in MDTN, which is problematic for the subpoena, but especially problematic for the Special Counsel appointment.

'Carr says' headlines are as worthless as Trump says headlines. Do better Reuters. We need facts and context in the headline about this unprecedented use of taxpayer dollars to fund Trump's campaign ads.

I’m confused. Trump lies about Democrats being communists because commies are bad. But he likes North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, a murderous communist dictator, and calls him a “friend.” Make it make sense.

77 million Americans voted for national suicide in 2024. We're seeing it unfold right now: The economy vandalized, the military weakened, politicians bribed, tech run wild, immigrants terrorized, and government goon squads committing murder. Vote against all Republicans. It could be our last chance.

The common thread in Pete Hegseth's rant to the troops, JD Vance suggesting Talarico is a pedophile, Brendan Carr calling the Trump ads aired with tax dollars "normal force PSAs," and Eric Schmitt fabricating a Jack Smith conspiracy is the whole GOP is incentivized to be performatively evil.
