Many of the new lawyers installed in senior posts over recent months “don’t care what the right answer is”, bemoans the former senior JAG. “They spend all their time trying to figure out what the administration wants and then reverse engineer how to get to it.”

I called it out a while ago, but at a minimum, Trump is guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, and now I think it’s pretty clear he and Hegseth are guilty of international war crimes as well. Since Trump is such a great “businessman man,” he should be familiar with vicarious liability and his predecessor’s motto: “The buck stops here.”

Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill cruised to double-digit victories in Virginia and New Jersey. Two Georgia Democrats flipped seats on the state’s Public Service Commission, the first non-federal statewide wins for a Democrat in nearly two decades. Democrats flipped a pair of Republican-held state Senate seats in Mississippi, cracking the GOP supermajority in a deep-red state. And a successful California ballot measure delivered five additional seats for the party’s House margins ahead of the 2026 midterms, offsetting Texas’ redistricting push.

Finally some good news for once. Although, it kind of makes me even angrier at the lack of turnout from democrats in 2024. We knew exactly how bad things could get and still, people stayed home out of laziness or protest against Democrats, knowing full well that another Trump term would bring devastation.
