This is what I mean about early signs of rot in the US military under Trump. This was an early strike in what we were told was a well planned and resourced effort. Now it looks like a fundamental and easy to correct error was made.

Maryland Senate President Ferguson is also the person responsible for blocking Governor Wes Moore's and national Democratic recommendations to redistrict Maryland in response to Trump's actions in causing Republicans to do that in Texas and elsewhere.

If it was "semantics" - here a euphemism by Fetterman Trump lying - then that was a failed mission, and further there is no reason to believe any air campaign now will achieve a better result.
"Where accountability mattered, Garland failed spectacularly [not just on J6] ... Garland [like Barr] sat on the Epstein files for four years without raising a finger to seek justice for Epstein’s victims or raise awareness about his accomplices and associates."

Now reporting is that Iran is mining the Strait of Hormuz and not even US Navy ships will go near it. If true and unadressed, this could significantly raise the price of energy, food, and myriad other necessities of life and the global economy for the medium and long term.
Trump won’t rule out ground troops or a draft.
There should be a rule that only people stupid enough to vote for him should have to go.
But as we know, that’s never the way it works.
He & his cronies will golf and build ballrooms while regular working Americans die.
Tangible fruit of disinformation campaigns waged over a generation and amplified on social media to create at least a lost segment of an entire generation.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
In what is concededly a tight competition, Johnson might be the dimmest bulb in the Senate.
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
To summarize - Trump officials are privately warning Congress that, despite Trump's public blather, there is no chance of eliminating 1) Iran's nuclear capability or 2) Iran's hard-line anti- American regime. And probably can't 3) secure the Strait of Hormuz either. Nice!
We need real fighters in the Senate right now and new energy to be a true check on Donald Trump. It’s why I’m the only one who will say Chuck Schumer shouldn’t lead the Democratic caucus.
The Helicopter Mommy party: poised to swoop in on a split-second's notice to protect Republicans from the consequences of their own idiocy.
How many government science, transportation, education, arts, health and communication programs could have been spared and improved with the funds used to fund even one day of this pointless war?
Before Citizens United, billionaires donated 0.3% of campaign financing. In the last election, 300 billionaires & their families — 0.0001% of America's population — provided 19%.

You will see headlines like "Republican Congressman leaves GOP, shrinking Mike Johnson's slim majority."
Not true. Kiley is still going to caucus with the Republicans. He's still going to vote with the Republicans. So this means nothing. Other than he's trying to convince people he's an Independent
Talk is cheap. Let's see Senate Democrats walk the walk.

How do Ingraham and Kelly know the girl's school bombing was unintended if by their own admission Hegseth is preventing an investigation?
So while Kari Lake is in fact possessed both of the necessary insignificance and pliancy to be the obsequious instrument of Trump's pleasure, the Senate must still confirm her to the role of de facto head of Voice of America, Radio Liberty/ Radio Free Europe et al, and this they did not do.
Articulate and direct explainer is actually very polite. Could have included legacy media and access journalists in this takedown of the gullible, the ignorant, and the complicit.
While we ars on the topic of who is to blame for the catastrophic strikes on civilian oil facilities that set cities aflame and deprived civilians of energy, who is responsible for striking civilian water infrastructure? And who is bombing the schools?

Yikes. Whose idea was this?
Just to be clear where Trump's priorities are. He is relentlessly focused on abusing his public office to increase his wealth.
How popular will a draft be to go fight in Iran? Barron will never go of course, nor others who bribe Trump to get out of it, lest as with pardons. Trump will profit as a merchant of misery.
The wealthy Montana brawler has demonstrated chameleon-like qualities since securing his Senate seat. After taking advantage of renewable energy credits himself he ostentatiously joined Trump and Republicans in killing them for everyone else.
Tillis is always quick to demonstrate he has jumped back into the Trump hive after a brief outburst of conscience.
There are swaths of the electorate that willingly and fervently believe whatever Trump says. His approval rating still supposedly hivers around 40%?
