@BillKristol My son recently returned from Bahrain, where he flew H53s, the Navy's only mindsweeping aircraft, mentioned above. Not only have they decommissioned the hardware, but they have also removed the only squadron trained to fly a highly specialized aircraft. The stupidity is endless.

"Six months ago the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines. It gets dumber: Those four final American minesweepers left the theater in mid-January." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

"Dismissing personnel out of spite, for no valid reason, makes the United States less safe — especially when some of those fired employees were steeped in the sort of counterintelligence work that prevents Iranian attacks."  FBI firings are dangerous. nytimes.com/2026/03/16/opi…

Thank you to Senator Escamilla for highlighting the need for balanced immigration policy. The way we implement policy locally, the tone we set in our communities, and the priorities we choose matter. Utah must focus on what we can do: demand transparency and accountability and approach immigration with compassion, respect, and practical solutions that reflect who we are as a state. ksl.com/article/514632…

“Republicans will lose power—likely for a long time—if we don’t get [ OUR VOTER SUPPRESSION BILL ] passed,” is really shouting the quiet part out loud. If the SAVE Act was a voter ID bill, it would provide voter IDs — but it doesn’t. It only prevents eligible voters from voting.

An order to give no quarter is a war crime. I’ve fought in combat. I’ve trained service members on the law of war. Our military has an obligation to follow the law. The Secretary of Defense having such a complete disregard for the law is reckless and dangerous.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

Trump just spent $145 million of your tax dollars on a warehouse in Salt Lake City. Not to lower your grocery bill. Not to fix your health care. Not to build housing. To cage people. We've watched untrained ICE agents violently round up hardworking families — many of whom have done nothing wrong, many of whom are here legally, some of whom are American citizens. They use people as props in their political game and send everyone else the bill. And now they want to do it here, in our backyard. No. Our community is not their staging ground. I will fight this. kuer.org/politics-gover…

Research canceled by DOGE appointees with no scholarly expertise, no sense of responsibility ... it's real ... MAGA = morons are governing America.

BREAKING: SHOCKING TESTIMONY reveals DOGE operative wiped out research funding without training or experience A jaw-dropping deposition is shedding new light on how the Trump administration’s controversial DOGE initiative decided which federal research grants deserved to live — and which would be wiped out. The answer? Apparently… vibes. Under oath, DOGE staffer Nathan Cavanaugh admitted that he and another colleague personally labeled several academic grants as the “craziest” they had seen — and canceled them despite having no experience in grant review, federal research funding, or scholarly peer review. When pressed on why one research project was targeted, Cavanaugh didn’t point to fraud, waste, or flawed methodology. His reason? The project mentioned “feminist and queer insights.” That alone was enough. Another grant examining the experiences of marginalized military veterans — including women, Black service members, Native Americans, immigrants, and LGBTQ troops — was also flagged and canceled. Why? Because the description “explicitly says LGBTQ.” That was the entire explanation. When the lawyer conducting the deposition asked Cavanaugh whether he had any background in scholarly peer review or grant evaluation, the answer was simple: “No.” The attorney then asked whether it was appropriate for a twenty-something with no experience reviewing federal grants to make sweeping decisions that could destroy researchers’ careers and cut off funding for academic work. Cavanaugh’s response? He saw nothing wrong with it. He argued that someone could make those decisions simply by being “well-informed” from reading books. The lawyer then asked the obvious follow-up question: Which books? Cavanaugh’s answer? “There were no books.” And the irony gets even sharper. Earlier in the deposition, Cavanaugh insisted he had no regrets about people losing income and research funding because the cuts were meant to reduce the federal deficit. When asked if those actions actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not. So to recap: federal research grants were canceled by people with no expertise, no training, no peer review experience, and apparently no research to guide their decisions — simply because certain projects mentioned LGBTQ issues or feminism. And the people making those calls say they see absolutely nothing wrong with that. That’s why so many people are finally realizing that MAGA actually stands for “Morons Are Governing America.” Please like and share!
