Ain't no party like a Scranton Filet Nets and Lace Curtain party
…and which ended years before Hegseth was even born!
I have found that the sadness paradoxically contains the seeds, or perhaps the promise, of joy.
It seems profoundly unlikely that this could be a D pickup, but OTOH this could be a blue tsunami year

"The fact that you're politically knowledgeable and sophisticated makes it hard for you to understand that people like this exist, and also in some cases decide elections, because unlike you they're not locked into supporting one party no matter what" breaks some polisci major brains.
Naw, that's where Captain Kirk fought the Gorn.

Joining CBC News in a few moments to talk about political fallout from the US attack on Iran.
Heavens to Betsy!
Trump has offered effectively zero rationale to the public and the result is confusion and diffidence - 68% say not justified or not sure; only 62% of Rs say justified
I think states will regret weakening the taboo on heads of states not being targets during war

That, too, but at least some Republicans are going to support this simply because Trump's the one doing it.
Bypassing Congress and ignoring the opposition party basically guarantees there won’t be a rally effect. Rallies rely on buy-in from the other party.
that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be
Not the most important thing, but "Operation Epic Fury" sounds like it was written by a 12-year-old boy rolling 20-sided dice with a random name generator table.
Grim thought: the "axis of evil" has really learned that a nuclear weapon is regime insurance.
