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’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
So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.

THIS NEEDS MILLION OF RESTACKS…. Party on!
if there’s one single explanation for why this election has gone off the rails—and, indeed, why the past eight years have been so politically miserable—it’s this: even at this late date, we’ve had hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of analyses and hot takes from a liberal/progressive perspective, struggling to answer the question, “Why Trump?”
i’ve seen almost no one asking in good faith, “Why not the Democrats?”
the former leads into all sorts of pop psychology: speculation about intellectual inferiority, congenital prejudice, moral bankruptcy. but those perspectives will never change people, and only enrage them.
the latter might actually produce some worthwhile political insights that could help right the ship. why do people still despise the Democratic Party—every single Democratic presidential candidate for the past eight years, including the old white guy—more than a meandering country club owner with Borderline Personality Disorder?
if the Democratic Party still can’t acknowledge its own weaknesses and make a positive case for its policies, rather than constantly leaning on moral superiority—it’s doomed, with or without Trump.

which is ironic, because now it looks like the Democrats will have to get their cake boxed up to go, so they can eat it in the parking lot after they turn in their badges and keys.
I could not agree more (I’m UK based btw). There’s like a pact of silence about this on the US liberal left, any discussion of possible flaws in Democrat strategy is absolutely forbidden. I followed Heather Cox Richardson on fb for her excellent forensic posting on Trump’s various legal battles (which were poorly reported over here) but I made the mistake of very mildly questioning some of her followers about their assumptions - in particular that “the only reason” for Trump’s victory in 2016 b…
