Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Officials told me they found the timing of the planned Patel trip to Russia bizarre - coming just weeks before the midterms- given the pressure that FBI leadership is putting on agents to substantiate election conspiracy theories at home that Russian intelligence services continuously amplify.

It seems Eric Deters, the MAGA guy Kim Guilfoyle fleeced out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, kept all the receipts of his communications with her.

In one exchange, she denies that Don Jr. was cheating on her with Bettina Anderson after the Daily Mail story broke.

We know how that turned out.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America.

Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Trump, Nauta, & De Oliveira ask to put off oral argument over suppression of Jack Smith's Vol 2. Attys for N & DeO have conflicts &, "vitally," Trump's counsel needs to time "to confer" with him, though case has been fully briefed since July.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Further, and vitally, counsel for President Trump, Kendra Wharton, requires time to adequately confer with President Trump in preparation for oral argument. Given President Trump's extensive commitments, including travel and other obligations in advance of the November 3, 2026, federal midterm elections, counsel will not have sufficient opportunity to meaningfully confer with her client while preparing for oral argument on the currently scheduled November 2, 2026, argument date.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.
