Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

who warned this morning that ground troops are going to be sent to Iran after leaving a briefing will get the attention they deserve. Whatever Leavitt, Hegseth, and of course trump are spouting is not worth listening to. These guys know what they're talking about.

I've heard of diverticulitis, but not the flare.

Intelligent design, my ass. I'm sorry to hear you are suffering.

The minority leader is about holding the caucus together behind closed doors.

The party can use other people in the press.

It's the senate where the caucus seems aimless and so often not together...

Wildly overplayed his hand.

Started (along with Bibi) a mideast war. A few days and it’s over.
