“The idea that you should care, whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, MAGA or not, that the Secretary of Defense potentially was going to profit off of a war that he knew was coming is completely lost in the wash.” — Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Michelle Cottle after watching a video of Todd Blanche talking about Trump: “I may have to take a minute because I am still a little nauseated from that. That was the most impressive display of throne licking I have seen in quite some time.”
Hegseth recently proclaimed: “We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.” Trump talked about bombing civilian infrastructure. Now our pilot is trapped behind enemy lines and we certainly hope that Iranians obey by international law.
Elizabeth Oyer explains the meaning of the “release of claims” document posted by the DOJ today. The scope of the document covering Trump, his family, and his businesses is much broader than just tax audits.

Tom Nichols on ambassadorships under Trump: “He’s been filling them almost as a kind of a trolling exercise with really some of the most inappropriate people you can think of. Charles Kushner is our ambassador to France. That’s just an insult to the French.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
“Today for the first time in 18 months, I am prepared to say that Donald Trump has miserably, humiliatingly lost that war against the nations federal courts, and the rule of law.” @judgeluttig.bsky.social

Because of Trump’s UNSUCCESSFUL war against Iran, that he started for NO REASON, Iran is planning on taking control of 7 under sea Internet cables that pass through the Strait of Hormuz. That’s 20% of global internet and financial data. I’m sure the tech bro crowd isn’t happy with him right now.
