I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

Vomit-Covered Bleeding Pete Hegseth Criticizes Press For Taking Unflattering Pictures Of Him Crawling Out Of Overturned Portable Toilet

So here we have the president deeming a lawmaker who has been mildly critical of him a traitor to the country.

Once again, just imagine Obama or Biden declaring some random congressman "disloyal to the United States of America," and the round-the-clock media freakout you would have seen.

Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.

Love this for Nancy Mace.

🇺🇸🚀 The US and its partners in the Gulf region have most likely burned through more than 1,000 PAC-3 interceptors since the air campaign against Iran began more than a week ago, - Bloomberg

🇺🇦 Ukraine had received about 600 PAC-3s since Russia invaded in 2022.

The most likely underlying cause was a decision by the Pentagon to use very outdated information to target attacks. (The school has been there for a decade.)

A likely contributing cause is that Hegseth did away with the office that reviewed targeting to minimize civilian casualties.

Pentagon Pete Blew a Fortune on Crabs in Multibillion-Dollar Spending Frenzy Figures show the Defense Department took drastic measures to spend its allocated funds.

Remember when DOGE was a thing? Back when this administration pretended to care about not wasting your taxpayer dollars?

I'm buzzing at the prospect of sitting across from this charlatan in a congressional committee room and exposing the full extent of his foolhardy corruption.

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion

“Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion
In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the number omitted several aspects of the operation.”

As extra enticement: as of now, there's a really good chance that Les Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein's friend, will still have outsized influence on the choice of the next president if the process is not transparent. We don't fucking want that, obviously, so if you can sign, it's appreciated!

Iran war: Trump says he's not worried about domestic terror attack President Donald Trump said oil companies should send tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, which has remained effectively closed due to the war on Iran.

Why would he be? The only life he cares about is his own.

Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

Yes, the photos made him look like a macho-posturing, half-witted Napoleon wannabe.

Q: “Are you encouraging oil company CEOs to use the Strait of Hormuz?”

Trump: “I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships. We’re up to boat number 60, I didn’t realize they had that big of a Navy.”

Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War

Now we’re getting foreign policy from “influential podcast host” JOE ROGAN.

“Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War
The influential podcast host described the conflict as a sharp reversal from the policies the president had campaigned on.”

This is both remarkable and totally unsurprising.

Here’s a person Trump hired to advise him on war and peace (though realistically probably just war) who has absolutely no idea what the Constitution says on the topic.

Hard to capture Idiocracy more perfectly than this clip. Heaven help us.
