John Heilemann and I were both struck by the damage Trump and Hegseth seem to be doing to the U.S. military, an institution we highly respect. When you put together the evidence that we can see, it's really worrisome. And will be hard to fix. youtu.be/jme-TJZ9OJA?...

Not being rich but posting all day anyway is the #BillionaireMindset
Better Things Are PossibleOnce you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

I was going to write this morning on the damage Trump and Hegseth have done to the American military, but went in another direction. But Paul Krugman does an excellent job here. And as he would be the first to say, there is even more evidence that could be cited. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

"He volunteered to launder Trump’s bellicose, bizarre acts by finding an intellectual coherence that isn’t there." And he's not that good at it. @joestieb.bsky.social on Elbridge Colby:
Elbridge Colby and the Art of Defending the IndefensibleTrump’s impulsive foreign policy of grudges, threats, and contempt for allies is a self-defeating mess. His suave sophist struggles to spin it as strategically sound.lnk.thebulwark.com

"I don't feel 103. I don't act 103. To me it's no big deal." apnews.com/article/golf...
103-year-old Omaha man discovers passion for golf late in life, still chases birdies and beats palsBob Walls is still impressing on the golf course at 103 years old. Walls looks decades younger and credits his longevity to good genes and staying active.apnews.comAwful stories like these are what Trump & co. basically want for Haitians and others. We know sending people back to certain places likely means death. The cruelty is the point.
