Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

I hate so much how we venerate vaporware salesmen as business geniuses given how easy it is to do anything with billions of investor dollars.

If you want to respect someone for business acumen, look at the person who started a profitable gymnastics studio or roofing company with an idea and $5,000.

Trump team bashed Europe for a year. Now he wants support in war on Iran. European leaders are ramping up their response to the crisis spreading outside Iran but remain wary of a conflict that could have untold ramifications.

Churchill didn’t treat his allies the way the President has - that may be why he’s getting a different response. This underscores the importance of character in leadership. It opens doors. wapo.st/40hXFoH

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
