@PhilippeReines Candidate Hillary Clinton was held to a much higher standard.
They went nuts when she was under the weather as a candidate and questioned her fitness. Perhaps he should face the same questions.

EXCLUSIVE: Navy leaders are planning for longterm blockade, while informing USS Bush Carrier Strike group families that they should be prepared for a potential year long deployment in the Iran War. My latest for @MSNOWNews https://t.co/M4zo2umx8J

The blue slip — used by racist Southern segregationist Senators in the 50s, 60s & 70s to block supporters of civil rights from ascending to the federal bench in the South — was used by Cindy Hyde-Smith to block Scott Colom from a judgeship. He's now the Senator-elect.

Based on this year’s measles case count, the economic cost is nearly $83 million for the outbreaks. That total includes $56 million in public health response costs, almost $25 million in lost productivity and more than $1.8 million in direct medical expenses.

Trump’s war in Iran poses no threat to the Iranian regime, and it helps Iran’s ally Russia quite a bit.

Alaska just added 5,600 ballots to the count, and Dan Sullivan netted 275 votes in this batch.

(Alaska tends to process ballots by region, so it’s very usual for batches to differ based on where was counted.)

The smallest diplomatic details can carry the biggest implications -- and the fact that Kushner and Witkoff are once again meeting with Putin first is meaningful. It's been the pattern: Putin first and Zelenskyy second, if at all. They've repeatedly and credulously allowed Putin to shape their thinking, and Ukraine has been left to fend off proposals that amount to Moscow's fever dream.

🚨🚨 Military families ERUPTED in anger at a Navy town hall after learning their loved ones fighting Trump's Iran war won't be home for the holidays.

Families described broken equipment, worsening conditions, and a mental health crisis. One spouse said her husband had contemplated suicide FOUR TIMES and was denied help. https://t.co/ggjrxoRJz5

People blaming Jeffries for shit while Republicans still control the House till Jan really illustrates the relationship between low civic knowledge and extremism.

The Pentagon has backed an Army sentinel who demanded silence and respect at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and members of his group were heard laughing and talking nearby. https://t.co/TVv1wTrBqs

NEW- RFK Jr. sailed around Greece in a yacht with Gavin de Becker, a campaign donor and close friend, according to people familiar with the matter, part of a summer vacation funded by the businessman.

Democratic senators are investigating gifts Kennedy has received from de Becker. https://t.co/V4BzC8Wauk with @byneilmehta

Trump’s AG Todd Blanche says if anyone in the Trump administration is impeached, he will be their lawyer.

“Blanche is losing his marbles,” Marc Elias says.

This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.
