Trump's taking a $400 million plane: a place in the sky from "Qatar the historic funder of terror at a very high level"
—Donald Trump
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Arrogant. Amateurish. Lacking in situational awareness. A huge security breach that opens operations to foreign actors and puts our military at risk.

A staggering story.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

“Conway opines as to why Biglaw firms aren’t collectively working together to fight what Trump is doing and protect the legal system as we know it, and he chalks a lot of it up to cowardice.”

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.

“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”

RT to ruin Trump’s day!

From @oliverdarcy.bsky.social: “Hertling believed that the Mark Thompson-led network was prioritizing certain pundits more focused on delivering politically incendiary—and sometimes misleading—rhetoric than fact-based commentary.“

All the talk about whether the GOP Senate will stand up to Trump’s terrible nominees, or whether he’ll make recess appointments, or prorogue Congress ignores the big elephant in the room: the Federal Vacancies Reform Act! The lame duck Senate should have the spine to hold confirmation hearings NOW!!

Our values define who we are, how we act, what decisions we make as a people. Perhaps it’s time to remember what values define us.

So glad @thebulwark.bsky.social published the article I wrote on this subject today, on a day we give thanks.

Enjoy & provide your thoughts.
"Even a cursory reading of the country’s founding documents and great speeches makes clear that America is a political organization with a reliance on our values." How many of us can really say what they are?

I Helped the Army Remember Its Values. I Wish I Could Do the Same for the Country.
The virtues we uphold define who we are as soldiers or civilians, individuals or a nation.
