Why did Pete Hegseth warm Europeans not about the actual invasion in Ukraine but the so-called invasion of migrants from Africa and the Middle East? @saletan.bsky.social says the answer is obvious.

"There’s no legitimate reason why an American secretary of defense would ignore a military invasion of a European country while raising alarms about immigration. But there’s an obvious illegitimate reason."
New from @saletan.bsky.social:
Trump's name is now gone from the Kennedy Center website (at least the top of the homepage). Next up: the building itself, dammit.

Team Trump keeps mum about Russia’s attack on Ukraine—but fixates on how immigrants ‘threaten’ Europe’s future.
I must apologize for misreporting, in this video, the amount of oil Hegseth brags about escorting through the Strait of Hormuz.
I said it was 1/8 the usual amount that goes through the strait. I said that shows he's lying when he says we control the strait.
I was wrong. It's 1/16 the usual amount.

This is a really useful breakdown (aptly! it's the name of his newsletter) of the 3 Democrats in the Michigan Senate race, by @citizencohn.bsky.social. He interviewed all of them in depth. Video excerpts from the interviews included. www.thebulwark.com/p/issues-tha...
Somebody forgot to explain to these guys that the whole point of 4th quarter comebacks is they’re not supposed to be routine.
Congratulations to the Knicks. Incredible. 🍾
If you’d told me 20 years ago that I’d be working with folks from the Weekly Standard and loving it, I would have laughed. “That’ll happen when there’s a coup in America,” I could have joked.
Proud to stand with my friends from the right who chose the right side. Come join us at @thebulwark.com.
Why did Hegseth, on D-Day, ignore the invasion of Ukraine while decrying an "invasion" of immigrants across the Mediterranean?
For the same reason Trump and Vance do the same thing. Their focus isn't on Russian aggression. It's on "keeping Muslims and Africans out of Europe and the United States."
