Honestly, this seemed like Pete Hegseth imitating Colin Jost imitating Pete Hegseth
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Hegseth: "I heard the question about 4 weeks. It's the typical NBC gotcha-type question. President Trump has all the latitude in the world to talk about how long it may or may not take. 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 6 weeks. It could move up, it could move back. We're gonna execute at his command ... Joe Biden didn't even know what he was doing"

Madness that @washingtonpost dismantled this irreplaceable team a couple weeks ago.
Olivier Knox@OKnox

Today is the kind of day where it’s very clear why we need foreign correspondents with extensive experience on the ground. The network coverage I’m watching is only illumining because of their boots on the ground in the region not the political talking heads.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

It may be repeating the obvious, but @marykbruce is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally showed why a free, independent media remains essential, asking questions that powerful people don't want to answer

Perhaps question is better rephrased — Why do you keep suggesting that you would seek to remain in office for a third term despite the Constitution’s clear ban? Why are you misleading your supporters and the American public that this is a possibility?

Trump on a third term: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."
