"The very least the press corps could do is report as extensively on Donald Trump’s mental fitness NOW as it has this year investigated the mental fitness of Joe Biden THEN."

1000% agree with this @vermontgmg.bsky.social assessment of the need for a dramatic uptick in coverage of Trump's health:

This guy complaining about people being in "air-conditioned offices."

Where were you, Pete, when you were watching your murder-strike livestream?
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

I do think the Democrats sending him to face trial in Venezuela when they are in power would be the sort of insane move that might actually convince Republicans to play by the rules
Yes, we can, but no one is going to do that. I'm sorry, people, but this is like talking to children. The USA is not going to send a former SECDEF for trial in Latin America.
*pssst* We can extradite him to Venezuela, T&T, or Colombia.

Former Republicans just don't have the learned helplessness toward politicians that lifelong Democrats do
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

That Hegseth is an eager proponent of war crimes and those who commit them is not news, but damnit its still wild that we will do things like confirm a Sec of Defense that writes about encouraging his men to violate the laws of war and JAG legal instructions
Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

Ultimately there are just a lot of people who are looking for a politics that allows them to engage in this kind of sadism, but we shouldn’t allow them to turn around and pretend that they have actual morals without pointing out the obvious, that they just want blood bsky.app/profile/acco...
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

There are way too many observers and columnists who don’t get that an authoritarian leader can exist in a still democratic or nominally democratic republic, and that that is often how absolute nightfalls begin, but also that just because we have an authoritarian ruler now does not mean a complete…
Lots of "it's not really authoritarian" etc takes skip over details like how Trump refuses to let a majority-Republican Senate have a say in who runs several U.S. Attorney's Offices. It's profoundly anti-democratic, and by itself strong evidence of corruption and malfeasance.

They demonstrated pretty conclusively that they understand how to cover pardons as if they are huge scandals when they ran multiple days of banner headlines and scolding op-eds and follow ups when Biden pardoned Hunter exactly one year ago.

They just choose not to for trump because they like him
It’s wild how the press is ok with the president abusing the pardon power. That used to be one of the most scrutinized things about a presidency.
