I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage. THIS IS CRUCIAL The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵

Look, I get it, Dems. You think nuking USAID is dumb. You think handing government computers to Big Balls is dumb. You think blaming the plane crash on DEI is dumb. You think JD’s speech in Europe is dumb. Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. Whatever. But that’s not

A very senior official in the new Trump admin who’s a history savant told me this week something that had me nodding in emphatic agreement: ’What NATO doesn’t understand is that Americans don’t really care what you do. •Underspend for years. •Refuse to let our ships dock.
