Far too many people mistake petty stuff like this for strength. Instead of what it obviously is—the action of weak, small, insecure men who recoil when faced with actual integrity. They know, deep down, guys like Milley are everything they aren’t.

Elon walked back his assertion that he can cut $2 Trillion from the federal budget yesterday. I was tempted just to dunk on him, but as someone who worries a lot about our out of control debt and spending, I wanted to talk about what is possible. So I grabbed a budget expert and we discuss.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.
