OPINION by @stevebenen.com:

“Trump and his team made a choice: Move fast and break things. Throw caution to the wind. Shock and awe. Overwhelm the opposition. Caution is for losers.”

Why Trump’s pitiful efforts to blame Biden for the poor economy won’t work
The problem isn't just that Trump is wrong to blame Biden for the weak economy. The problem is also the fact that the rhetoric is literally unbelievable.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

They can't spell "April"?

"The termination emails were riddled with mistakes — with employees’ names, the month of April and even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed and haphazard nature of the operation..."

D.C. employees of the institute, founded and funded by Congress, received late-night termination notices, though most of its overseas staff were left in place.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully.

Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”
