We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

Klobuchar: "The fact that when people are hurting this much and literally can't pay their bills & insurance premiums, that he then spends govt money instead of to help people pay for their insurance, on an ad to glorify himself. They are making the connection now on corruption and affordability."

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.

The number and condition of hungry people on Manhattan streets is many times more than I've ever seen. In a poor area, on corners of busy intersections, there'll be multiple older folks in wheelchairs who are enfeebled and skinny as heck. Plus everyone else. Food is an unavoidable preoccupation.

Q: There's a report that Ken Paxton was complaining about your midterm convention. He felt like it hurt him. What's your reaction? TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but I can tell you that the convention was amazing. We had 107 million views. The NFL had 25m. We had four times what the NFL did
