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.”

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.

MORAN: What does it (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you?
TRUMP: It means exactly what it says; it's a declaration of unity, love and respect and it means a lot. It's something very special to our country.

Trump and Pope Francis Had Sharply Different Views, and Sharp Disagreements
The pope and the president remade the Catholic church and American politics in their outsider images, but their relationship was defined by their remarkable clashes.

Trump II is what happens when you give that tiny splinter group the keys to the kingdom
Looks like the Trump administration and the GOP is attempting a real-world test of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's prediction in his November 8, 1954 letter to his brother, Edwin.

A lot of people who know very little about the US govt don't know that a big part of Dept of Energy's portfolio is nukes. That's okay. Not everyone has to know everything. But it turns out the people Elon put in charge of gutting the department's workforce didn't know that either.
Thursday: Trump officials fire hundreds at the National Nuclear Security Administration
Friday: moved to hire them back
“Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.”

If she can show this sort of courage lawmakers can manage to take tough votes, agency heads can manage to refuse illegal orders. Bravery is contagious.
The New York prosecutor’s letter is an example of superb legal argument and solid principle. (I know, a lawyer’s letter worth reading? In this case, absolutely.)
