Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

Nope, he’s definitely not woke.
A strong display of might in the war to end woke! Trump has definitively and single handedly conquered “wokeness” by literally losing consciousness. 🪦
We too are tired, but unlike him, we’ll reboot to full competence tomorrow. Goodnight! 😴✨

So strange, what these Trump officials focus on. Air conditioned office? Like Hegseth doesn’t have one. Pajamas on planes?
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Strange. The rest of us would like to see Megyn, Trump, and Hegseth suffer.
Megyn Kelly says that simply murdering the survivors of a strike on a Venezuelan fishing boat isn't enough. She would prefer that they be subjected to extended torture to heighten their pain and agony. Megyn has captured the essence of what it means to be MAGA.

Vote Jeffries AND Schumer out.
It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.
Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

JAKE TAPPER: You called on Hegseth to release the full tapes of the attack. What sort of action are Democrats prepared to take to make this happen?

Leaving aside the law.
DOJ says immigration judges, as "inferior officers," may be fired on the basis of sex, religion, race, or national origin. Leaving aside the law, it's *politically* remarkable they're taking this position.

What a great time we live in. The president, aka mad king, speaks and it is law. No matter that it violates the Constitution.
Leavitt: “The president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists are trafficking illegal drugs toward the United States he has the authority to kill them”
[narrator voice]: He did not, in fact, have lawful authority to kill them…

Q: Was the initial order from Hegseth to kill everyone and did that come from President Trump?
LEAVITT: I would reject that Hegseth ever said that. However, the president has made it quite clear that if narcoterrorists are trafficking illegal drugs toward the US he has the authority to kill them

Remigration. For thee but not for me.
An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

NATO should defend Ukraine as if it were a member. Enough with the abstract – what's happening in now, in the real world, necessitates it. If not, it's only a matter of time that NATO is directly at war with Russia. The instant the war is over, make it official. NATO is much stronger with Ukraine.
