Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job
YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.
"I suggest you do a little homework," she says.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.
Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.
Any others you know?

One of the great questions starting Jan 21 is how will Elon and Donald communicate?
Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing.
Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day.
I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X
Literally.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
