They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.

“Stupid rules” AKA the law of land and warfare 🤷‍♀️

Study finds ChatGPT Health did not recommend a hospital visit when medically necessary in more than half of cases. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump on service members getting killed in his war: “That’s the way it is.” Trump when his country called for him to serve: I have bone spurs. Trump’s sons: We’re too busy making billions off daddy’s presidency in the Middle East to waste time as a sucker and loser.

In sum, FIRC is sold to the public as a quick path to stability. Yet, 120 cases across two centuries suggest it is one of the most reliable ***generators*** of instability outside of interstate war. amazon.com/dp/1501761145

Check on your OIF/OEF friends today, a lot of us are not ok

NEW: In a statement, VoteVets calls out Donald Trump for recklessly launching an unconstitutional, aimless war with Iran, ignoring warnings and endangering lives while lying to Americans. Republicans must hold him accountable.

When US President Donald Trump addressed the American people on Tuesday night, he claimed that Iran is “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.” That assertion is not backed up by US intelligence, sources told CNN. https://cnn.it/4tZsgoD

Article I, Section 8 The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises... To provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States... To Declare War...

Glad to see accountability here. defensescoop.com/2026/02/26/a...

“As resources, talent and expertise are siphoned away, the VA’s ability to function deteriorates — creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in which weakened performance is used to justify further destruction of the department" - aka The Death Spiral

Ok now VA actually rescinded the rule which means something vs just making a pinkie promise not to enforce it

But hey - let’s just rush forward as fast as possible! 🤷‍♀️

Worth reading!

You know who kept Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Obama. Trump ripped up that deal and walked away, and here we are today. He's desperately trying to come up with a way to solve a problem that he created out of thin air.

"I've always wanted the Medal of Honor but they said I can't give it to myself" 🤢🤮

Reminder that "Warrior Dividend" absolutely did not come from tariffs. www.military.com/feature/2025...

"Proudly restoring safety for Americans at home" Dude we have seen the footage from Minneapolis. We are LESS SAFE. Masked thugs are disappearing people.

"We must reject political violence of any kind," says Trump, who pardoned hundreds of violent rioters who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection that he inspired.

Trump talking about fighting fraud and corruption is ... ... ... something.

"should be my third term" NO THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Um where is the US respected now?

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders. I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward THREAD www.vox.com/politics/479...

This is SUCH a great resource.

"First published in the Federal Register on Feb. 17, the rule is technically still on the books" - and you have until 4/20 to make a comment with your thoughts on it.

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community. But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. https://bit.ly/4qWgPLz

They pushed the vote to Feb 23 week. Just means more time for you to call your Senators. To get them to protect this.

“We should do everything we can do to keep women out of combat roles,” he said...asserting that there are biological gender-based differences in the levels of aggression and temperament required for warfare. “I believe that God assigns gender roles to men and women, respectively” buff.ly/TvTAOGp

Perfection as always

Just a reminder that most of the MAGA influencers don’t actually have any principles or positions on anything. Whatever gets them clicks and engagement. It’s all a grift.

"President Donald Trump has not sought the necessary approval from Congress or independent government agencies."

Does this sound professional to you?

Good news: after 390 years of manels, single-gender events are officially forbidden at Harvard. Oh. Never mind. Single-gender events are fine as long as all participants are men and occur "accidentally".

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Q: How's that focus on government efficiency working out? VA: 🤷‍♂️

“You can shoot me. You can shoot all of us. But we know who you are. And this war is almost over, and you’ll be a war criminal.” This is what living with honor looks like.

Predictable thinking -> predictable behavior = easy targets Diverse teams -> fewer blind spots = better decisions in complex environment & under pressure

In the midst of the most aggressive and alarming federal assault on the First Amendment since the Palmer raids, the Biden-era free speech warriors have focused their outrage on . . . the injustice of releasing the Epstein files.

As @democrats-veterans.house.gov noted, though, "A tweet is not a rescission. The interim final rule is still in the Code of Federal Regulations. Until it is formally withdrawn, veterans’ benefits remain at risk."

SECVA: we're cutting your benefits - go buy guns!

Collins developed this rule without input from veterans' groups, medical, or legal experts - and published it as an IFR effective immediately. Short & long term effects of the decision unclear, which is WHY public comment is usually sought *before* making major changes.

Out now from RAND: New report with state-level summaries of veteran needs & well-being

When I worked at VA, if it came up that I had written books, I was careful to note, "which are available at the library if you want to read them." We should demand ethical behavior from public servants.

"By leaving out the contributions of women and people of color, storytellers sidestep the contradictions and complications their presence brings to this American story."

"Fathers want to be involved. They care; they simply lack a platform, language and an invitation to engage. When given structured opportunities, they participate."
