My new campaign.

The birds have less to say for themselves In the wood-world’s torn despair Than now these numberless years the elves, Although they are no less there: All song of the woods is crushed like some Wild, easily shattered rose. —Robert Frost

a competent political party ready for the fight ahead would be screaming in unison for the rest of the week about nothing but these hegseth revelations
