“Pete Hegseth is an unfit disgrace who lacks every quality of integrity, decency and wisdom a man whose work involves sending others to die should possess. He is callous, cruel, arrogant, selfish, extreme, and very stupid.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/killing-for-…

People ask what they can do in this hour during which the forces of extremism & violence are preaching a gospel of discord & disunion. Reading the Gettysburg Address might be a remedy to the noise & vituperations that seem ceaseless. open.substack.com/pub/steveschmi…

Donald Trump and all of MAGA are terrified of jokes.

Need to catch up on this past week in US politics? Here’s just some of what I covered: open.substack.com/pub/steveschmi… Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com.

Little Trumps believe the rules don’t apply to them because, for too long, they haven’t. They all need to go, not because of ideology or partisanship, but because a functioning democracy requires a shared commitment to reality. Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com

Join @ItsDeanBlundell and me today at 12 pm ET for “Dead Air.” Hegseth melted down on the Hill, Jennings lost it on CNN, and ICE is getting rich off human suffering in California City. Don’t miss it. Livestream at steveschmidt.substack.com.

CNN’s Scott Jennings is a product of a system that has told him that there will be no consequences. That no matter how far he goes, there will always be another segment. This is what “too MAGA to fail” looks like. open.substack.com/pub/steveschmi…

Donald Trump is at war with free speech and will lose.

Pete Hegseth’s congressional testimony wasn’t merely an embarrassment. It was a collapse. Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com

Donald Trump is prosecuting James Comey for an Instagram post and trying to get Jimmy Kimmel fired for a joke. I break down a week of crocodile tears, a lost war, and a MAGA movement that reeks of failure. youtu.be/5OVz-5_VEHs

“By invoking the title “Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth hasn’t just revealed a preference for theatrical bravado over constitutional duty. He has revealed something more dangerous: a fundamental misunderstanding of the office that he holds.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/from-command…

Pete Hegseth is a pioneer of incompetence.

Pete Hegseth is the most ignominious military leader in the history of America.

Fifty-one years ago the last helicopter fled the US Embassy in Vietnam, and Donald Trump has brought America into another losing war. I expose Pete Hegseth’s incompetence, villainy, and criminal failures in this catastrophe. youtu.be/R512NTI-DdQ

“The White House doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It never has, and it never will. It belongs to the American people.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/tear-down-th…

Donald and Melania Trump won't last.

Lindsey Graham can and should be voted out of the Senate.

King Charles III did something subtle, deliberate, and unmistakable to those who were listening carefully: he criticized Donald Trump. Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com.

Lindsey Graham is now demanding taxpayer money for Trump's ballroom. I explain why it's a symbol of corruption, incompetence, and a disgrace to the People's House. youtu.be/mCKAjcZNBP0
