If the WaPo is reporting that the bombing/killing had no impact, it must be really really bad, like too bad to ignore as other outlets will report it and again show that the WaPo is not worth reading. I hope there are a few other Senators who accept that Hegseth is incompetent to run the DOD...Collins will be troubled but still vote as trump tells her to and fetterman now has to be counted in the trump camp, regardless of the issue. What ever happened to all those Republicans who believed in something like a balanced budget and accountability? Everyone of them now just signs blank checks for trump. At best they take money from their constituents' needs but when that's not enough, just increase the debt.
You'd think a few Senators who are attorneys would have some regard for their profession and not want someone who has been referred by a judge for reviews of, at a minimum, ethical violations to be running the DOJ (to say nothing of the incompetence he brings along with any staff corrupt enough to work for him). You'd think a few would want to actually have the DOJ win a case...but it seems not. Bowing down to trump is m ore important than whether or not the public has any confidence or respect for their profession or indeed the entire legal system. Somehow, we the people have got to do more to support the epstein victims. If anyone has any ideas what else we can do, please share...the GOP obviously does not care about them...indeed that may be one reason they will confirm Blanche.
I imagine there are many many of us who wish we could be paid subscribers but just don't have the financial means to do it. One day I counted 102 emails/substacks I got asking for donations (all saying their races/organization was the only way for Dems to take back congress). I apprecaite the substacks that allow comments even if you are not a paid subscriber. I feel maintaining a sense of community and unity is critical to our success and to divide us by those who can afford to pay and those who cannot does not help that sense of unity. So thanks for letting non paid folks be part of the conversation!
Strange that blowing fishermen out of the water does nothing to curb the cocaine trade. What a mystery! Hegseth needs more than a firing, he needs to be prosecuted, as a criminal, for those lives arbitrarily taken.
Bombing boats off Venezuela was NEVER about keeping drugs out of the US, since those drugs go to EUROPE…
Trump simply wanted to blow up boats and murder people and the military, including Seal Team 6 helped him do it, KNOWING the orders were illegal and these were war crimes.
Exactly why I do not trust the military to refrain from any other illegal order this fascist may give.
They have picked a side and it is NOT the Constitution or American people.
Every life taken wrongly at the behest of this administration is another stain on the dumpster's filthy little hands and on our once-proud country. Some leave a positive mark as their legacy, some leave an indelible blemish on civilization. Count the Mango Maniac in the latter.
Thank you for this posting. Its true. She uses these words all the time. She otherwise says nothing else. I hope the people of Maine are beyond being deeply troubled by her as Senator and vote her deeply troubled self out.
Bulldozed the east wing of the WH, green deflection pool, raiding the treasury, no Epstein files, tax cuts for billionaires, an illegal war, measles spreading, rising inflation and an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.
Susan "I don't regret my vote for Kavanaugh" Collins with her "deeply troubling" idiot lying comments. Goodbye you freak, you will not win "your" seat again. Can't wait until we never have to see your ugly face and listen to your ugly voice again. Let's go Maine!
Time and time again their decisions destroys lives, rising costs for the American people to absorb. No solutions in the near future. People voted for this chaos
Hegseth has ALWAYS been a horrible person for the job. Anyone of the people he has fired are one hundred times better than him. But because Republicans just bend over and do whatever Donnie wants them to do THIS is what America gets...... And Susan Collins is ALWAYS "troubled" but does NOTHING about ANYTHING! And didn't a staff member of the Heritage Foundation (of Russell Vought and Kevin Roberts) just get caught with cocaine as he tried to enter a government building? Guess they "missed" him!
Someone had confidence in a failed Fox News weekend host? Truly? And had the nerve to admit that?
So, here's an observation about the dwindling Repub Party. They have endangered themselves and are dwindling due to devouring each other with a side gravy. They believed they could devour "the dems" so they must be shocked that it's backfired on them.
Like Walter White, the Heritage Fascists thought they were the danger. It's all slipping away, slipping away. Like Charlie Watts behind Keith.
“I don’t have any confidence in him anymore,”
The fact that you had any confidence in him to begin with says everything.
I will be waiting for Hegseth to be removed, Blanche to be sent away-But, with T still here , Who will come next.
Good morning from Boston!

Tons of cocaine doesn't come across the border on boats.

Susan Collins is always "deeply troubled."
I leave it there.
Thank you for this posting. Its true. She uses these words all the time. She otherwise says nothing else. I hope the people of Maine are beyond being deeply troubled by her as Senator and vote her deeply troubled self out.
I keep hoping you will see the way out of this mess with action soon.
Nice touch, Trump. A drop of “98.2%”. That little “.2%” makes A BS number sound legit.
Bulldozed the east wing of the WH, green deflection pool, raiding the treasury, no Epstein files, tax cuts for billionaires, an illegal war, measles spreading, rising inflation and an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.
So many failures. In so little time.
What else are they covering up?
