And on it went, with Hegseth spinning one bad idea after another, and managing to insult any number of Americans in the process. A bad idea hamster www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

His State of the Force address was a partisan disgrace—with a few good ideas buried in it.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

There were a lot of very confident people in my mentions telling me that I was being played and that there was “clearly no terroristic plot” here. Maybe we should all wait for the facts to play all the way out? 🤷‍♂️

Q: “DHS is spending millions of dollars on new ads about you…Why should U.S. taxpayers pay for that?” Trump: “I’m not running for office and I don’t talk about anybody…That’s an ad for the spirit of our country. If somebody said that that’s wrong, I’ll gladly pay the money.”
