Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Heather, thanks for your very cogent comments about Biden's part in the debate and the way the. Trump maneuvers may have been a cause. Makes me think that Biden was set up by the MAGA squad who learned about the "Gip Gallop" trick.
Trump did not debate- He staged a rally, with Biden as a prop-
CNN never pressed him to answer the actual questions- They allowed his free-for-all-
Robin, In my view, if we persist solely in blaming the press, no matter how valid, we are failing our candidate with concrete means to evaluate missed opportunities. I elaborate on this point in my comment, which is part of this thread.
Barbara When I saw President Biden walk out unsteady, looking like a tired old man, for me this felt like a gut punch. As he looked askance and spoke with a flatness that was in sharp contrast to State-of-the-Union Joe, my wife and I were appalled.
Trump was at top decibel with his blatant lies and below the belt attacks. But Biden knew who and what Trump was.
For the moment, I have difficulty in identifying how best Trump can be defeated in November. President Biden’s age is now on the front bur…
The fact is that power is very intoxicating. Witness Ginsburg and Feinstein. Biden should step down now and let a younger person step up. Biden's age along with the prospect that he might not finish his term so that Kamala Harris could become POTUS are two negative factors for many. We're in a tight spot. Though Biden has done a great job, this is a new ball game and one that we absolutely must win. Biden needs to recognize this, that he is in fact a liability that has to be overcome.
Step down in favor of whom? Why can none of you armchair pundits come up with both (1) a name, and (2) a persuasive case for why that individual can build up the name recognition to win in barely four months. IMO VP Harris is qualified to be president, but racism and sexism are at least as powerful in the electorate as ageism, and if you have any imagination at all you can probably guess what the GOP and Dark Money attack ads will look like.
Gavin Newsom, Gov. of Calif., for one. He's charismatic and smart with executive experience. This election should be a walk-in-the-park for Democrats, but it isn't because of Biden's age and apparent fragility.
Any idea about his name recognition among non-political junkies outside of California?
Whatever his name recognition among such, he'd be far, far behind Biden on fund raising. As Lawrence O'Donnell so eloquently explained, it's too late to switch horses.
