![And to think that we could go in there and have nobody killed, not lose one aircraft, where we’re going 1,800 miles an hour over a small area with 152 different planes, different planes and helicopters, is pretty amazing to people, you know. You didn’t have a [President] Jimmy Carter crashing helicopters all over the place, that you didn’t have a Biden Afghanistan disaster where they couldn’t do the simplest maneuver. That was a simple maneuver — they should have never left from that airport.

David E. Sanger What — what did that feel like? You were down at Mar-a-Lago? President Trump It’s like watching a movie, except you’re — it’s a little bit, you know — look, you don’t know if — Katie Rogers Are you worried when this is happening, while you’re watching? Or what is going through your mind? President Trump Yeah, I’m worried that it ends up being Jimmy Carter disaster that destroyed his entire administration.
President Trump I looked at — I looked at some of the attacks. I studied the Carter attack. It was a disaster. I would have never done it that way. David E. Sanger You were talking about the attack. I was asking about the occupations that followed — President Trump You know, they had — they had a — they had a sandstorm. Did you know that? And they decided to go forward. We would go back, and let’s hit it three days later. They wanted to go forward, and they said, keep going. Helicopters don’t work well in the sand. Karoline Leavitt Sir, do you want to show them the renovations?
Today's a good day to note that in his interview w/NYT Trump conveyed a real terror of becoming Jimmy Carter.

US military’s supremacy over rivals is built on intensive training. By contrast, Hegseth has stressed lethality & warrior ethos instead of learning & reflection, blocking elite universities. Shows of force alone may not defeat even militarily inferior enemies.

How many more immigration assassinations are being hidden from the American people? How many more violent, masked thugs are being protected from legal consequences? When this god-awful period of our lives is over, we’re going to shake every part of our government loose.

This nickel-dime TV host posturing as a secretary of defense is in the employ of another posturer who said that fallen American soldiers were losers. Shameless, dangerous buffoons pushing buttons on a console while mocking the players they've blindly committed.

Every soldier killed has a family and a community that grieves, deeply, I wish the article had named the two Iowa guardsmen killed in Syria 11 weeks ago: Staff Sgt. Edgar Torres-Tovar and Staff Sgt. William Howard.

Um... Any navy folks know how accurate this is? Because if true this is insane
Pretty astounding example of cognitive dissonance that today the NYT also published this piece which does not mention sea level rise or climate change even once. I guess the ultra rich can just let their tens of millions dollar homes go underwater, that kind of money is peanuts 🥜 to them these days.

lol incredible AIPAC ad. Quoting Kat's high school newspaper from when she was literally 16 years old. An AI generated campaign pin that gives up on spelling her name, seemingly making her Hawaiian. Another AI generated pin that makes Marco Rubio extremely handsome for no reason. Fantastic work. 🧑🍳😘
