Hard to overstate how damning it is they've spun their wheels trying to come up with their strongest possible argument and the best they can do, the rationalization for it Hegseth actually put in writing, is "we can kill shipwrecked survivors if they try to call for help."
2/ The Hegseth-approved contingency plan:
The U.S. military could try to kill shipwrecked survivors if "they took what the United States deemed to be a hostile action, like communicating with suspected cartel members."

A man who never grew beyond his middle school bully years. It'd be nice to have an adult as president again. The fact that the standard has dropped that low is very sad.
In a Thanksgiving post on social media, Trump called a sitting governor “seriously r------d,” a phrase rancid with cruelty and long rejected by civilized society. 😡

Calling it embarrassing is generous. The country deserves a proper Defense Secretary, not a grown man LARPing as one.
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.

In a previous era, the U.S. president calling for the deaths of his political opponents probably would've warranted interrupting everything else on TV for the day.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

There's no problem Vance won't blame on immigrants, even if he has to invent the problem himself.
A few weeks ago he was insisting immigrants lived in cramped squalor and their (white) neighbors had a right to be upset about that.
Now they're so rich they're snatching up all the good houses? OK.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

OMG. The site is literally called the Dunning Kruger Times.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Trump is incapable of learning. Other GOP incumbents seeing tonight's results will draw the correct conclusion that everything Trump does is turning to shit at the ballot box. The question becomes how do they react: reject Trump or double down on rejecting democracy?

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.
