Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA.

Spainโs Prime Minister Pedro Sรกnchez on Iran:
โRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.โ
You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.
The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.
I'm not going to the State of the Union. Trump has made a mockery of this tradition and I'm not going to show up and pretend everything's normal. I worked with
@moveon.org to help organize the People's State of the Union. I'll be there. Go to moveon.org/live to learn more.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
Sometimes diplomacy isnโt about what you say. Itโs about how long you breathe before saying nothing.
Watch Kaja Kallas listening to Mike Waltz US representative to the UN at Munich Security Conference.
The Interior Ministry was burgled last night. Police are looking for whoever stole next yearโs election results.

US opposition leaders should be calling for or ready to call for an OSCE/ODIHR election monitoring mission for the mid-terms.
Trump will no doubt refuse, but the US is an OSCE member, and the refusal is a signal in itself internationally and at home.
Make him explain the refusal.
Sending my question now, since I wonโt be up at 0230 (my time) to watch live- do you think Mittelstadt will be rested for MD20? Thanks.
Do ICE next.
Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit โMelt the ICEโ hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
Theyโve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.
Insane! At all levels, really. First of all, they have nothing to do outside of the U.S. Second, they are among the worst-trained of the dozens of security and law enforcement services the U.S. has.
What this shows, however, is that the Trump Administration sees ICE as its personal military.
In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

Understatement of the year heard on NPR today in a story about the Insurrection Act- โnorms donโt seem to constrain this president.โ
Any idea as to what happened to the Union Berlin pitch? It looks like itโs in horrible condition.
GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:
โ.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..
โ.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.โ
