And, oh, guess what, all three underperforming candidates work with Fight Agency, who really seems to be bad at pivoting to general elections.

I look at these races compared to the 2024 presidential election in those states, and all of the “left vs establishment” primary winners are underperforming. And they were all in the states easier to hold or flip. I think they all still win on the wave, but those margins will matter.

I think he still wins but I also think this entire Senate election cycle has pretty much shown that Chuck Schumer knows ball.

This seems like Trump at his Mad Kingiest because there isn’t even an obvious venal or corrupt motive. He’s just arbitrarily decided Magnets Bad, Hydraulic Good, and he knows better than the engineers.

Maybe there’s a kickback in here somewhere, but based on his public remarks, we’re going to spend billions reverting to a worse, older system because Trump has some weird irrational aversion to magnets. Which he apparently thinks don’t work if they get wet?

As emails show Kash Patel’s Hawaii trip included “VIP snorkel” at the Pearl Harbor memorial, two things stand out: - There are some folks at the FBI who are clearly eager to humiliate this guy - The revelations are entirely unsurprising given everything we know about him www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

So many LGBTQ Texans are moving to this city, it may declare an 'emergency'
Seattle is one of the many places that transgender Texans are resettling after fleeing their home state.

We need to stop presenting OLC opinions as anything significant. OLC has long been too ambitious in its assessment of executive claims. Given what Trump has done to the entire administration, Bondi initially did to DOJ, and Blanche has done since, they’ve rendered OLC opinions meaningless.

The Marines are (apparently) told to prepare for combat
March 2026
Marines,
Our Nation is in a consequential moment. Global events are shaping our nation's security, and we must be ready.
I ask you directly: Are you truly ready to deploy, fight, and win? Are your skills sharp, your standards high, and your gear prepared for immediate movement? Is your desert MARPAT readily available, is your gear packed and ready to pick up and move, or is it stored away in a corner of your home? Are your family's affairs in order? When the call comes, readiness will be assumed. not questioned. Your readiness is not a declaration; it is a daily commitment.
This is not a theoretical exercise. Our forces are currently engaged in operations connected to Iran and are positioned to preserve stability in the Western Hemisphere. Our enemies get a vote, and a mass mobilization could become reality. We are operating in this environment now. History demands our readiness today, tomorrow, and every day.
Your preparation for combat is forged in your daily actions, your training, and the seriousness with which you handle every responsibility. We are measured not by our intentions, but by what we can do right now.
Check your readiness. Tighten your standards. Prepare your family. Our nation expects a disciplined, capable force ready for immediate action. That force is Marine Forces Reserve, That standard begins with, and must be held by. you.
FICATS ON!
Leonard F. Anderson
Lieutenant General, U.S. Marine Corps
Commander, Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South
