The shame and horror we should all feel at what the Trump administration has done to this family. Bring this man home to his kids.

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.
Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K
Trump Goes After the Messenger
The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.

I’m amazed… well, sort of. The problem, as they see it, isn’t that they were doing something wrong. The problem is that they got caught and can’t obfuscate out of it.

It will be even more difficult to hold the line next time.
Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Tonight I think of all the old men who spent a lifetime screaming to everyone about Russians infiltrating America only to end their lives as ardent defenders of Russia.
A lifetime that is ending with a giant "NEVERMIND!!"

Every elected Congressional Representative who does not speak against the behavior of Trump and Vance in their meeting today with Vladimir Zelensky owns what happens next. It is naive to think that they will not bring the same thuggish behavior to their dealings with the opposition in America.

Today, President Donald Trump ambushed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine.
