"Y'all, what's the big deal about a president honestly and candidly saying he wants to violate the Constitution? You need to chill. Authoritarianism is no biggie when it's done candidly with a smile!"

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t

Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t

The time for words is done. Something big needs to come out of that meeting.
