I'll point out that prior service doesn't make a great SecDef; but it can. People like myself hate war, because we know war. And its because of that, we don't want war. We want diplomats to be successful. But we are going to be prepared for their failures. That is the attitude Hegseth is missing.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad."
And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

If you had told me 30 years ago that Michael Luttig and Bill Kristol would have a clearer understanding about what's going on than a lot of Democratic leaders, I'd have wondered whether you tried the brown acid.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

On the one hand, it's nice to see Trump lose his crush on Russia. On the other, WWIII.
Trump says he’s ordered two nuclear submarines to be “positioned in the appropriate regions,” after comments from Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev, “just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.”
