Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

Want to know how bad Donald Trump is losing his trade war with China?
Last month, he said China will buy 12 million tons of US soybeans by January. China hasn’t even bought 1/10th of that amount yet.
Trump is getting played by China while American farmers pay the price.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

Ukraine’s air defense had a strong night, with three ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv, intercepted by the Patriot system, which “performed flawlessly,” according to Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat. He also confirmed at least one Kinzhal was intercepted. Not all remaining missiles hit their targets.

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

It’s really interesting to see which government officials and members of Congress are comfortable publicly writing on social media that they’re fine with service members carrying out unlawful orders and abandoning The Constitution. Someone should start a list.

BREAKING: The Democrat in next week’s special election in Tennessee has cut a Trump +22 district to a Republican +4 seat.
That’s stunning. If Democrats flip this seat, they will be one step closer to flipping the House, and I just spoke to the Democrat who could do just that.

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was arrested in Revere, MA by ICE for being a criminal illegal alien. She came to the US in a B2 tourist visa and was supposed to leave in 1999. It’s hard to believe that Karoline didn’t know. Rules for thee, but not for me.
