After 25 yrs w/the GOP,I’m done. As a principled conservative&more importantly,American,I can no longer associate w/a GOP that’s fully embraced the malignancy of Trumpism. The fight continues b/c here,right still matters🇺🇸 #CountryOverParty Full video👇🏼 https://t.co/cWAFDHXPQP

This WSJ piece is a MUST read. And Rep. Don Bacon is 100% correct here.
WSJ today. Multi-billion $$ business deals between Russian & American billionaires that forces Ukraine to give Russia more land, & make Ukraine a Russian vassal state. Greed trumps Ukrainian sovereignty. Churchill & Reagan are turning in their graves.

This is a big deal. Another indication the MAGA spell may be breaking.
News, a very big deal: Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) issues statement w/ top SASC Dem Jack Reed vowing “vigorous oversight” of Hegseth’s “kill them all” order — after Hegseth dismissed WaPo story earlier as “fake news.”

But he’s not a racist they said….
Under Trump, 591 books by Black authors have been banned from Pentagon-run schools and libraries, according to Onyx Impact. @DelanoMassey

History will harshly judge the failure of our legal/political system to hold Trump accountable for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election (including his sponsorship of Jan6). So many culprits: Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, Republicans in Congress, and yes, 77 million voters.
Breaking News: The last pending criminal prosecution against President Trump was dismissed by a judge in Georgia, effectively ending efforts to hold Trump criminally responsible for attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. I don't know if I agree with that. These are MAHA. In other words, they could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to

I briefly commented to @NicolleDWallace on @SenMarkKelly awards yesterday. For those unfamiliar, several of the awards have a “V” which stands for “valor,” a heroic act in combat. But if you want to know the real Mark Kelly, read any book about the Columbia shuttle disaster.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

And this is the guy who has the nerve to go after an American hero like Sen. Mark Kelly…A decorated naval aviator and astronaut. Outrageous.
“Hegseth’s tenure so far has featured a series of appalling security lapses and janky public performances that call into question not only his character but his emotional stability”

Unpopular opinion: That 1-million token 'unlimited memory' your AI advertises? Marketing hype. Even the best models struggle to track details past a few thousand tokens. Context Rot is why your AI gives you contradictory answers in the same conversation. Here's what's really

So do we call him Seditious Steve? Except it seems he really is…
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. https://t.co/qnMPyxdLMb

Is Trump losing his grip on MAGA? After casting MTG aside, it sure feels like something is shifting within the GOP ranks. I had a few things to say about this on MSNOW. @senecaprojectus

The legacy of DOGE is not that it failed. It's that it destroyed: 1. faith in real cost conscious governance 2. the careers of committed govt employees 3. scientific research and the biomedical breakthroughs that come with it 4. countless lives of the world's poorest

My friend and fellow never Trumper @RinainDC knows all too well what happens when you speak out against Trump. Unfortunately many of us have had similar experiences. But, we haven’t quit.
Believe me, bucking the future or current President of the U.S.A. has very serious consequences. I’d know…having lived to tell the tale. Believe me, @RepMTG is already tired of the lack of peace she now has being anti-Trump. It’s maddening enough to make anyone quit anything.

Cassidy cast the deciding yes vote to confirm. He’s a doctor for goodness sakes. He knows better and yet… Another coward who could’ve prevented this mess.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit? CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.
