I'm SO very tired of the "Americans don't even notice anymore" narrative from the talking heads.
Americans DO notice.
And we're fucking. Furious. Daily.
Don't confuse what media picks up/highlights, or the duration it stays in the news cycle, for what Americans notice and/or care about.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

What happens when someone defies an order, reports it to the office of Senator Mark Kelly who assured them of their protection on national television, and then it turns out Mark Kelly disagrees and decides it is legal because the person isn’t charismatic enough to be used for media attention?

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders.

Whether killing civilians is illegal is not a matter of interpretation. Whether engaging in an act of war without congressional approval is illegal is not a matter of interpretation. But these are the things the administration is telling military personnel to do.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
