Jerome Powell just straight up said the U.S. government is publishing fake jobs numbers. Things will really go off the rails when Trump replaces him next year.

Great to see @gallego.senate.gov absolutely savaging Republicans for helping cover up Trump's illegal killings. As I've been arguing, Dems should be taking *that* approach. Hound Republicans mercilessly until they agree to get to the bottom of all of it:

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Trump's overt-the-top response to Kelly and others has helped elevate their status. I've no doubt that they now have more legitimate concerns about their safety, but they've shown how picking a fight with Trump is good politics.

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.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

After today's performance, the Eagles offense ranks 28th in success rate.
They are producing a positive play at a lower rate than offenses like the Saints and the Jets.
It's the worst offensive success rate for an Eagles team through Week 13 in the last 20 years.

It's pretty obvious that the Eagles need to make some kind of big change. They cannot keep rolling out this trash offense every week. They'll have a couple extra days to figure something out before their next game, but it can't be nothing.

Kevin Patullo is an easy target, IMO. He isn’t bringing anything to the offense, but…
- Ultimately, it’s Nick’s offense.
- Nick is directing big-picture in-game strategy (ie. give-up plays, etc.)
- Nick hired him.
That’s where frustration should be directed.
