Russ Vought is one of the most dangerous nominees because of his competency. There are plenty of stories about the chaotic evil nominees that will wreak havoc through bumbling incompetency, but Vought is the lawful evil bastard that will break this country with laser-focused intention.

I am once again reminding everyone that “general” is the adjective in “attorney general.” Calling an attorney general “general” is like calling an in-house general counsel “general.” Also reminding folks that when Ted Cruz was Texas solicitor general, he begged his wife to call him “general.”

Just a reminder: Yes, we should celebrate the ceasefire. But no, you absolutely do not have to give Trump credit for the Israel/Gaza ceasefire, if for no other reason than his intentional exclusion and antagonizing of Palestinians with the Abraham Accords helped get us into this mess to begin with.

Pete Hegseth is the kind of guy you used to send on a Crusade so he’d stop bothering you and die from incompetence

I think it’s very important for Republican women to know that Pete Hegseth’s accuser is a married mom and a highly respected Republican aide, who went to the police immediately after the assault. They still don’t believe her. Your fascism will not save you from their misogyny.

Skeleton Crew was so good. I will gladly take Star Wars: Space Goonies over a hundred seasons of Book of Boba Fett.
