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.

Trump had $400 million in his PAC and he STILL decided that he needed to steal taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads for the midterms.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

This is going well...US is being benched by Trump and is unwilling to help protect an ally from the fallout of a war he started...and Saudi Arabia is calling on others not responsible for the war (including some of our NATO allies) for help. We are truly through the looking glass now, friends.

Quite a recent pattern: - GOP candidate in Fla. marched alongside neo-Nazis - Husted fires aide over Nazi photo - Collins fires aide over swastika images - State Dept hires speechwriter whom DeSantis fired over video with Nazi imagery - Trump rewards Paul Ingrassia, who said he has a “Nazi streak”

Republican state legislative candidate marched alongside neo-Nazis, adding to pattern

As a rule, state House candidates’ backgrounds tend not to generate national headlines, but once in a while, there are important exceptions.

9/11 was traumatic for all Americans. But the U.S. and other governments panicked, and took their eyes off a lot of other threats for a while. We’re still living with the consequences of that panic. My look back at that day and what it brought: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A Quarter Century of Panic

After 9/11, the U.S. government was over-focused on fighting terrorism, losing sight of other threats. Americans are still living with the consequences.
