I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

So let me get this right… Trump’s saying don’t hit Putin’s oil refineries, while Putin goes after pretty much anything in Ukraine, while also acknowledging that Putin won’t entertain an energy ceasefire… WTF? 🤷‍♂️

Trump’s new AI chatbot wasn’t hallucinating, he lost the 2020 election. But when the newest rollout from the White House contradicted Trump’s rhetoric, they pulled the plug. Now when asked about it, the AI tool says “I do not offer political commentary on elections” and dismisses the question...

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.
