So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

@chrislhayes.bsky.social 's new book hits the sweet spot between articulating things I already knew (i.e. infinite scroll bad) better than anyone else has and exploding my view of things like the jackass who bought twitter. It even points a hopeful way forward. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Trump: "Russia was attacked. Russia attacked. But there was no reason for them to attack. You could've talked him out ... Every time I say, 'Oh, it's not Russia's fault,' I always get slammed by the fake news. But I'm telling you. Biden said the wrong things. Zelenskyy said the wrong things."

Trump: "Russia attacked. But they shouldn't have let them attack. Bc they wouldn't have attacked if you had people that knew what they were doing. Biden is a very dumb man...I said, ' you know what? This guy's gonna cause a war.' That's what happened. Putin could've been talked out of that so easy."

It’s just a motion to proceed. The Senate expects to pass the budget later this week. That will then instruct committees to write the reconciliation bill along these parameters. So they’ve got a long way to go still.

Bill Browder to Bartiromo: "This is like war reparations from Ukraine, who's the victim. Russia should be handing over their natural resources for all the money we've spent, not Ukraine. Ukraine needs to rebuild, they need to defend themselves. To punish Ukraine is a highly unsympathetic position."

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Put yourself in Ukraine's position. The guy who's been victimizing you for a decade is meeting with the cops, talking about how to build a lasting relationship with each other that will include some "difficult" parts about ending your abuse. It's dangerous, anti-peace and embarrassing.
