Reminder that Don Bacon barely won NE-2, a purple district that went for Harris, and shouldn't be used as an example when citing Congressional Republican outrage, because they're not actually outraged.

It's Palm Beach County. It's amazing they were even arrested at all.
These idiots already failed to renew that treaty, as if the US isn't downriver.
Besides my initial impression that "this is all illegal," practically a given with any article about the executive branch these days, what I was most struck by was the fact that it wasn't one step above "let's bomb yemen lol XD."
Hegseth was the only one who sounded like an edge lord with the "loathing" and "PATHETIC" comments.
Here's the sequel, by the way: https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5211867-hegseth-says-nobody-was-texting-war-plans-after-group-chat-breach/
Here's what Hegseth said about actual journalist and editor-in-chief of the highly-regarded The Atlantic:
Hegseth also called Goldberg “a deceitful and highly discredited, so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.”
"Members of both parties," and yet they only quote Democrats, except for one Republican who won his purple district representing Omaha by less than 6,000 votes. That district was the one Nebraska electoral vote that went for Harris.
Mm, but Trump is the cult leader. No one actually likes the rest of them and some would feel more capable about pushing back against Vance. Anyway, Trump, Musk, and Vance are all problems.
Former presidents, vice presidents, secretaries of state, etc. receive briefings because until recently they served as a kind of private advisory board to presidents and their successors. It was also, in a worst-case scenario, about continuity of government: if a nuke drops on DC, Obama could step in temporarily to help lead a transitional government.

When Hitler was in power and did something stupid, Nazi party members would first seek to blame external groups. When that was implausible, they would instead blame other members and groups within the Nazi party. There was a lot of infighting and finger pointing within the Nazi party because 1) well, first and foremost, it was a kakistocracy, and 2) because Hitler himself could never be blamed. So as a result, Hitler was frequently the victim of "bad counsel," or his orders weren't carried out "properly" (even if they were followed precisely).
When she wore a scarlet letter A: "This is my signal to others that I don't answer to anybody up here," she said. "I only answer to the people back home."
When her constituents want to ask questions: "We’re staying away because it’s not safe, and we refuse to be bullied by individuals who are threatening me, my employees, and my family."
This bill can be stopped. Contact your representatives.
Revoking a degree is really underhanded.
