Wife, Mother, Grandmother! Americans made a bad choice November 2024. America will never be the same. I fear for my grandchildren. 😒

COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer

*plays Marshall a clip of him saying "I think it will take years for Iran to restart their nuclear program"*

SEN. MARSHALL: Look, I was wrong. I believe we obliterated those nuclear facilities, but now they're restarting programs elsewhere

Occasionally I'm reminded that there are still vast numbers of workplaces that have not made AI integral to parts of their work routines the way the marketing ecosystem has, and it sounds heavenly.

Wow! Votes are still being counted for margin, but Democrats flipped a seat in the New Hampshire State House, in an area that Trump had won in 2020 and 2024. See you in midterms!

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

A Necessary Return to Sanity Trump supporters, I am speaking directly to you now, not with the polite restraint that political commentators like to pretend passes for honesty, but with the urgency that this moment demands.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

We didn't accept the legitimacy of the Nazi and Japanese wars, but we expected them to adhere to norms about treatment of prisoners, etc.
Two different issues.

Trust me, you do not want declarations of war. They give the president imperial powers you cannot even imagine, and then stay in force until peace is declared. In general, AUMFs suck, but we need something in between an AUMF and "war." And it ain't the War Powers act.

An Epidemic of β€˜Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.
