@JozHurt @FrankLuntz Unfortunately people will choose against their own interests if it hurts their perceived opposition.
English
@RegulaEA @FrankLuntz Yeah. Sure. Tell em all the way to the ballot box but if the better party is not 'their' party, they simply won't vote for him/her. It's really not that simple for that reason alone.

78% of Democrats support both age caps and term limits for members of Congress.
83% of Republicans back maximum age limits, and nearly 9 in 10 support term limits.

@JJCarafano Democrats wonder why they have problems winning at the polls.
Doubling down on things that do not improve life for everyday Americans is a good way to lose again.

This is literally an illegal migration magnet. He has no right to out American taxpayers on the hook for this

Democrat California Rep Ted Lieu announces Democrats will restore free taxpayer funded healthcare and EBT Food Stamps to illegals when they regain power Illegals will get back - Full-scope Medi-Cal / Medicaid free insurance - Free dental benefits under Medi-Cal - Free prenatal and postpartum care - Restored coverage for undocumented children and young adults - Tax credits for undocumented - Free SNAP Food Stamps assistance “Democrats, when we get control, we're going to reverse the massive Medicaid cuts, the Medicare cuts, and the cuts of ACA that Trump and Republicans put in last year”

@George_Casement @FrankLuntz Isn’t that on the electorate? On the other hand, a shortage of viable candidates doesn’t help.

@RegulaEA @FrankLuntz Process is broken.. incumbents win 90% of election attempts…
English
@FrankLuntz Term limits and age caps are baked into the process. If you think they can't do the job, don't reelect them. It's that simple. Voters have agency and are not required to perpetuate what they believe is not working.

What should be the maximum age limit for members of Congress?

Sting said something that really stuck with me on CBS Sunday Morning:
“All of us are in danger of losing our work to AI… everyone. Whether you’re an artist, a journalist, a lawyer — this technology could replace any of us.”
His takeaway? The only thing that will truly save us is community — supporting the people next to you, looking out for each other.
In a world racing toward automation and isolation, real human connection and mutual support might become our most valuable currency.
I’ve been feeling this more and more lately — no matter how advanced the tools get, the relationships we build are what actually anchor us.
What do you think — is community the real answer to surviving the AI revolution, or is there something else we need?

There was nothing new or imminent as to the threat posed by iran to the US. plus we had other policy options. it was not just that this was a war of choice, it was one launched with flawed assumptions & little in the way of preparation or consultation.
Marc Thiessen@marcthiessen
Putin launched a war of conquest. Iran has been attacking America for 47 years, spreading terror throughout the Middle East, and pursuing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver them. Trump was the first president to respond to Iran’s aggression. If you can’t see the difference, and how your analogy is problematic, that’s pretty sad

When employees turn to consumer AI tools without approval, it is easy to frame the behavior as a compliance failure. But it can also reveal something far more useful: real demand, practical curiosity, and a workforce ready to experiment.
BBVA, one of Europe’s largest financial institutions, took that signal seriously, creating a secure AI environment, limiting access to build momentum, and relying on a community of internal experts to share ideas and develop tools that solved everyday problems. That approach helped drive adoption at scale, with thousands of active users, thousands of custom tools, and meaningful time savings across the organization. The takeaway for leaders is clear: enterprise AI works best when it grows from the ingenuity already inside the company, not from top-down mandates alone.

CDR. Misso @CIMSEC "The deepest, most insidious cost of the program, however, is cultural. The random urinalysis program is a symptom of a command structure that has lost faith in its commanders."

"A good grand strategy needs an 'end state' or a 'vision' for the world we want to create for ourselves and our grandchildren. We should ground that end state not in what we wanted to change, but in what we are trying to preserve—the global world order." buff.ly/QK8fYlj

“What the PLA’s most attentive analysts are likely doing is war-gaming a Taiwan scenario in real-time using the Hormuz crisis as a live stress test for assumptions they have been modeling for decades. Some of what they are finding is deeply uncomfortable.”

The book On Strategy by Colonel Harry Summers opens with this exchange:
“You know you never defeated us on the battlefield,” said the American colonel.
The North Vietnamese colonel pondered this remark a moment. “That may be so,” he replied, “but it is also irrelevant.”
Kelly Grieco@ka_grieco
Hegseth: "Operation Epic Fury was an historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield--a capital V military victory." That mindset is the problem. The U.S. won every battle in Vietnam and Afghanistan and still lost both wars. Tactical victories aren’t strategy.

Since the first spring in Ukraine we began this simple mission of providing seeds in places that the Infraestructure didn’t allow for people to have easy access for seeds! We produced tones of produce over the last years for thousands of families……@WCKitchen
World Central Kitchen@WCKitchen
WCK's seed distribution is underway once more in Ukraine!🌱 Our teams are delivering seed kits to families across the country, including frontline communities. Through this initiative, people receive carefully selected seeds to grow their own food at home, providing reliable access to fresh ingredients and restoring a sense of normalcy and self-reliance. These distributions mark the start of a new growing season, shaped by care and hope. #ChefsForUkraine

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

@jacklgoldsmith Doesn't need to tank the treaty but can refuse to engage which leads to the same outcome.

Trump says he is "absolutely" considering withdrawing from NATO. A Sen. Rubio-sponsored law bars him from doing so w/o congressional or 2/3 Senate consent. Can Trump pull out anyway? "The law is unclear, but he probably can," I concluded, in Dec 2024

That’s a big reversal. Wray shut this down in 2023, and now it’s back. Buying data instead of getting a warrant feels like a workaround that sidesteps protections. Raises real questions about where the line is. #Privacy #FBI #Surveillance fedagent.com/news/fbi-resum…

Scoop: White House has rejected an offer from billionaire Elon Musk to cover TSA workers' pay during partial shutdown that has disrupted airport travelers across the country, sources told @CBSNews. The suggestion was taken seriously by Trump officials, but they believe the partial shutdown is likely to end soon. And there could be legal challenges for Musk to fund the pay, even indirectly, because of Musk's various government contracts, sources told @olivialarinaldi and me.
