In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger. The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

Nothing like experiencing misogyny at the chromosomal level.

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

“Tony, some loving advice from the person who cares for you most in the world. Don’t mess with the immigrants, my son. Please, don’t mess with them....They’re human beings just like us, and they came for the same reasons we came. To work. To improve their lives. So please, don’t mess with them.”

Feels like a think tank should be working on something called "The American Restoration 2029" which basically undoes Project 2025. This daily stream of changes to the executive branch leaves no doubt that any effort to return to normal governance will take a years-long planning process.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

“Trump’s Airplane Crash” so easy, so true
