🚨 Sen. Mark Warner Just Highlighted A Major Contradiction In The Administration's Messaging.
For months, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted there was no serious munitions problem.
Now President Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act, citing:
- Limited production capacity
- Fragile supply chains
- Long lead times
- Production bottlenecks
In other words, the White House is officially acknowledging the exact kind of weapons-production challenges administration officials previously downplayed.
Then came Warner's response:
"On this case, Trump is right."
The disagreement is over why the administration spent months insisting there wasn't a problem in the first place.
“Where is Vader today?”
“He’s paying the Rebel Alliance $300 billion dollars after defeating them completely, every day for the last four months, sir.”
Every appointee has been trained to play this little game in congressional hearings.
It’s still so disturbing to see people turn into robots for Trump like this.
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

The online hate spews by this vile white supremacist should be headlines everywhere (not just The Guardian) .. and yet.
Any other party and it's leader would be held to account .. and yet.
Raf Epstein nailed it: different media standards for ON.
🚨Tyler Steven Greene, 27, and Angel Faith Greene, 25, of Fleetwood, NC — vocal and proud MAGA Christians — have been charged with felony child abuse with serious injury after their 3-month-old baby was hospitalized with devastating injuries.
Angel’s Facebook was filled with “Trump Girl — Deal With It” posts, posts portraying Trump as a messianic figure saved by ‘god,’ and Bible verses.
Tyler was photographed wearing an “I Stand With Trump” camo hat.
According to arrest warrants, the couple allegedly “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did intentionally inflict…serious physical injury” to their baby.
Staff at Brenner’s Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem alerted investigators after the baby arrived with four broken ribs, a stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, a right flank hematoma, pattern bruising, diffuse bruising, and petechiae.
Both were arrested June 8 and initially held without bond. More charges are pending.
It takes a special kind of cruelty to inflict such harm on a helpless infant. And this culture comes from the top-down — set by Trump and the Epstein class.
Norway have qualified for their first World Cup since 1998, and the first thing they did was ship in their own cheese, fish and 6,000 oranges. A touching show of faith in the American food supply.
Start with the cheese, since they hauled 116 kilograms of it across the Atlantic. Dairy in the United States can come from cows injected with a growth hormone called rBST, which has been banned across Europe for years and does not even have to appear on the label over here. Norwegian cows never go near it, so the players would sooner bring their own.
The fish follows much the same logic. A good deal of American tuna is treated with carbon monoxide, sold to the trade under the lovely name "tasteless smoke," which fixes that bright red colour and keeps it looking fresh long after it has quietly stopped being so. Europe banned the practice in 2003, while America still permits it.
Then the oranges, all 6,000 of them, because the US happily lets growers spray the skins with Citrus Red 2, a dye the World Health Organisation's cancer agency calls a possible carcinogen, all so a slightly green orange can pass for a ripe one on the shelf. Europe will not let it anywhere near food.
So when a side with one shot at a World Cup takes a long look at the local cheese, fish and fruit and flies in a tonne of their own instead, you can understand how they got there.
A ringing endorsement of American food, obviously.
I just rang Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate's office about the proposed Trump Tower Golf Course & Resort in the city. He refused to speak to me, but his office made clear that he is pushing ahead with it. Please sign and share the petition to stop this project. https://t.co/XrILRe2N9w
GENERAL: “The $300,000,000,000 is real. Who cares where it comes from? The Iranians are still in charge. They’re gonna take that money and recover everything. You know that, Sean.”
Even Fox guests aren’t letting them pretend Trump’s deal is good. (Obama had a deal for far less)
