@StephMillerShow Do we know how much time elapsed between the 1st and 2nd strike? Hegseth blathered about 1 or 2 hours? If it was more than a few minutes, there was plenty of time to run it up the chain of command.

@smerconish @CNN @cnni @pw_cunningham Makes perfect sense to cover these drugs IF there is proof there is long term success with keeping weight off. If people are just bouncing back with weight gain after a few months or a year after taking them, then they need further study.

@smerconish What he should NOT have done is the crazy hoax talk. What he should have done is stick to his script of appearing unconcerned while letting his DOJ do the heavy lifting.

@smerconish Preventable but still lots of unanswered questions. Local and national press point to lots of NWS warnings, but also understaffing.I live near Upper Makefield and remember July of '23 well. In my area some streets underwater and backyards caved, but thankfully no loss of life.

@elonmusk This would be a good idea if done well. Recruit charismatic leaders and focus on moderate goals, particularly using the leverage of an influential and growing 3rd party to induce legislators to oppose crazy laws and modify existing craziness.

@MaxVelocityWX Pics from last night's severe thunderstorm in SE PA. Multi county power outages & tens of thousands still out. These pics from Trevose and Yardley PA

@smerconish @realDonaldTrump @CNN @cnni @ByronDonalds I don't think those supporting this Administration's scatterbrained approach appreciate the enormous economic cost to the country. Labor shortages, inflation, lower GDP, etc. Immigrants for centuries, inc today, are the foundation for our prosperity.

@smerconish Agree with debt alarm.We tried government reorganization under Prez Carter. Huge opportunity missed by DOGE. Congress stopped Carter from widespread savings.I worked under Carter and Reagan admins at OMB.). If you kept IGs & Musk had coop w/them, Congress would have gone along.

@smerconish Fair question, but no mention of the clear decline we are seeing from the current President? Will the press learn a lesson from the revelations about Biden? Will Republican politicians and Trump's inner circle change their current behavior?

@smerconish Why can't we have new hybrid institutions: skilled trade plus?

@MaxVelocityWX Congratulations! I've considered you one even before the official imprimatur 😄

@RossKneeDeep Can't fully say how little I think of her on social media

@Suzierizzo1 Yes absolutely

2/2 separation of powers, judicial review, (not arbitrary exercise of Executive power), etc. No wonder Trump is in a hurry to get his desired King George III measures implemented and ensconced in 2025! I think the latter is more important to him than even the midterms!

2026 is going to be a very tough year for DJT as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.A whole year of celebrating the true genius of America. Spoiler alert: the Constitution will be celebrated as well, including the rule of law, due process, 1/2
