It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) β€” on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

β€œWe have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

β€œDonald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal”

More awful news from Kharkiv I'm afraid.

A 13 year old girl is the latest body to be removed from the wreckage of the apartment block in the Kyivskyi district of Ukraine's second city.

The death toll is now 5. Search and rescue continues.

Kristi Noem's ouster isn't enough. Democrats say they want her to pay. Even though Trump ousted Noem as homeland security secretary, Democrats say they plan to still push for investigations and possibly even impeachment.

War and military service are serious, life-changing things, a lot of people feel uncomfortable when they’re presented in a way that seems overly flashy or like entertainment. I think it’s important that discussions about the military stay grounded in the real human costs & responsibilities involved.

Knowing myself as I do, I'm confident that had I ever seen a dog-shit video about the military like the one the White House just put out, I would have never enlisted. I wouldn't have wanted a f*cking thing to do with anyone viewing war like a Saturday morning cartoon.

Ukraine has to bomb the Russian oil facilities. Ukrainian drones are more than capable. If they allow Russian oil in the market the consequences for Ukraine will be existential.

"Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter" (2014) and "I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to play golf"- trump (2016).

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

3 ballistic missiles were launched, two targeting energy structures in Kyiv.

The other is said to have hit an apartment block in Kharkiv.
At least six people are reported injured - including a child.

Drones are still flying too.

Why Jasmine Crockett lost the Dem primary to James Talarico Crockett embarked on her primary bid with a makeshift operation that lacked a campaign manager, a developed fundraising strategy and comprehensive infrastructure for a ground game.

One reason Crockett lost to Talarico: She did not have a campaign manager for the entirety of her run, and while she delegated components of her campaign to trusted advisers, she largely managed operations herself. Talarico outraised her 5 to 1.
