Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously:

Goldberg:

—Did not disclose sensitive information; and
—Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans

We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

"The GOP sought to score political points on the backs of children already at risk of being excluded and demonized for not fitting into someone’s inflexible notion of gender and femininity," writes columnist Rochelle Olson.
Olson: Republicans choose to squander their leadership by attacking trans girls

I bet you didn’t know that MN Democrats created a turkey laser program to fight avian flu. 🦃 @senatedfl.bsky.social warns this innovative tool could be at risk due to the chaos in DC—right when we need every defense against the next pandemic. NOT A JOKE #AvianFlu #TurkeyLasers

Mahomes is struggling, and I can’t help but blame the Tuberville Curse. That’s what happens when Trump decides Tuberville personally molded Mahomes into a QB god. Reality is optional these days. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Patrick Mahomes Debunks Trump's Weird Lie About His College Career
Donald Trump said Tommy Tuberville coached Patrick Mahomes. Tuberville said he just recruited him. Mahomes said none of this is true.

Especially in rural communities. They are the hub of the community.
Universities are vital economic engines. Republicans hellbent on killing them are going to learn fast that doing so will kill a lot of jobs.

I find this video of FBI Director nominee Kash Patel disqualifying. Schiff should confront him about it during Patel's confirmation hearing tomorrow. Let's make this viral.

I’m still shocked to see how many people are only now discovering they’re being incessantly lied to about Trump. Which is why we keep analyzing the Press, and calling them out at a constant. Especially now, since they’ve bowed down to Donald.

"Research consistently shows that clear, aspirational language — such as “free college” — dramatically increases participation rates, ensuring that the students who need the program most know it exists."

North Star Promise program is a great start, but we must go further
Tuition-relief program still leaves significant financial challenges for students and families, such as housing, food and transportation.

Sounds like Republicans are going to demand Californians sign a loyalty pledge to get federal aid - "All hail the Supreme Leader"
BRENNAN: Do you expect though that Republicans will still help Californians in need even if they don't like their local politics and the party?

SEN. BARRASSO: I expect there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved ...

This could all be avoided with a power sharing agreement. But Republicans walked because of their quest for power.

I keep thinking about this critical insight from @atrupar.com - Republicans cannot claim a mandate for policies they disavowed and distanced themselves from during the campaign. Or at least we need to make it very hard for them to do so.
"Trump has no mandate to implement Project 2025 -- in fact he denied all links with it on the campaign trail. But because of the trifecta voters handed Republicans, it's likely to happen nonetheless."
Trump hoodwinked voters about his worst policy commitments
They signed up for Project 2025 whether they knew it or not.
