There is a reason Pete Hegseth never advanced meaningfully through the military ranks during his service. His record reflects routine service, not distinguished leadership or operational expertise. The promotions he failed to earn in uniform, were handed to him in politics. This is dangerous cosplay

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

It's much easier to do a genocide if nobody sees it happen
BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.
He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.
Speechless.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

Ogles: "I had a Democratic member of Congress come up to me on the House floor yesterday. And he said, 'This is officially where I'd say you're a horrible human being for targeting Zohran, but the reality is we as Dems hope you're successful b/c he's the worst thing that ever happened to our party'"

An act of breathtaking moral monstrosity and nearly unprecedented self-sabotage for the country.

It's 2p here in Boston, and we're back on the record in the NIH grant terminations case.
It's possible Judge Young could issue some sort of ruling here in the next few minutes, or he could provide more context for case management going forward.
Stay tuned.

⚖️ HUGE day today in the NIH terminations cases
There's a trial (of sorts) at 10a ET in Boston today for arguments that NIH unlawfully terminated 100s of grants.
It's a 3 hour hearing and I'll post periodic updates.
Of note: this is the 1st lawsuit filed against the Trump Admin to go to trial.
