George Conway on Trump: “He invites people to feel as if they are superior by hating on other people. He has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country”
Scott MacFarlane on the FBI raid of Sen. Lucas’s home and office:
There are going to be questions raised about how Fox News was there as the raid was undertaken. That type of thing is rare. I’ve covered the FBI for a lot of years and the Department of Justice for a lot of years—you don’t get advance warning of raids, in part because it’s viewed that it could put people in jeopardy, either the people being raided or the raiders.
What’s more, it is prescribed in the Justice Manual: you do not give the media advance warning of a search unless it has high levels of approval. This has happened before, but in this case it clearly had a high level of approval.
But look at the Justice Manual, then look at the images on the screen—you can see those two are not connected. What’s more, it really is telling that the Department of Justice is trying to take a megaphone to blast out this search. It’s clearly a political rival of the president’s.
What’s more, they’re blasting this out while they keep behind closed doors what’s happening with the Epstein files. Howard Lutnick’s interview is behind closed doors, and there’s been no action by the Department of Justice to hear or amplify the voices of Epstein survivors.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
The Walton family worth $538 billion forces Walmart workers to work part time paying them wages so low they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive subsidized by your taxes reshaping the entire workforce & making the Walton family the biggest welfare queen in America.
A lot of anxiety and depression disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Pretending money doesn't affect mental health is a privilege.
@JMAU73@CalltoActivism Well they brought the wet umbrella on board the plane with more electronics than any after someone capable enough to close it arrived, sooo...
Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one.
A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it.
The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link.
General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.”
Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon.
Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to.
The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone.
Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody?
