When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

First, Lindsey Halligan. Now, Alina Habba.
This DOJ is breathtakingly incompetent, not just because it appoints idiots to cases, but because it is willing to break laws to appoint idiots to cases.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

"But the cover-up was still alive and well back at the White House on Monday, where press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that one of Hegseth’s subordinates was the one truly responsible for the second airstrike."

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges

It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Under Trump, the government isn't just withholding data it doesn't like; it's killing its own capacity to produce reliable data.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:
