Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

I was also a Captain in Afghanistan in the dismounted close combat role. I never got time off to go to Kabul HQ. You are dishonest, disrespectful and dishonourable @PeteHegseth You shame your country as @SecWar
Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths. t.co/x4tGhxJiFG

No one should have to do this. Regardless, let it inspire you. What else can YOU be doing right now? And, no, tweeting is not enough.

So it’s official: Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. The US aided and abetted Putin’s killing of numerous civilians in Ukraine. Trump’s a traitor, a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy.

Dan Sullivan with a real-life "It was my understanding that there would be no math" moment.
Sen. Dan Sullivan: "Can I ask the moderator a question? We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?" Moderator: "Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not." Sullivan: "Okay, I'm just watching my opponent read from questions that seem to be answered." Mary Peltola: "I'm prepared."

Fuck you and Ukraine. Name one thing Russia did to harm the U.S. and its people in the past two decades.

Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Sortor’s recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing community notes on the Sortor post. It’s all hands on deck trying to make the fake Talarico story stick

Here are the details: literally any time, any place, any network.
Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Are you requesting one with him? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details.
There's a new version of this post

Zelenskyy: "Because of the war in the Middle East, prices are rising. They're increasing because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

The FT reports that Witkoff and Kushner told Ukrainian officials in Miami that the US would cut off intelligence support if Ukraine keeps attacking Russian energy facilities. When Congress is back next month, they ought to: 1) Invoke Section 216 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). This will allow Congress to investigate whether the waiver triggers Congressional review. 2) Bring @RepBrianFitz's bill to kill the diesel waiver to the floor via a discharge petition. 3) Speedily pass the FY2027 Intelligence Authorization Act. The Senate bill has a provision that would require continued intelligence sharing with Ukraine until a ceasefire or peace agreement, permit restrictions only for specific national security reasons, and require Congress to be notified within 15 days of any restrictions and their consequences. And Republican and Democratic members need to message they are united on this and it will be happening.
