Hazy.

Blurry moon, so no moon this morning.

Anyway, if it's Monday, there's another embarrassing Mad Orange King story. Pete Hegseth, talking head Secretary of Defense, kept his wife, brother and personal lawyer in the loop on ongoing operations over Signal from his personal phone. Awesome. Still "clean on OPSEC," are we?

The Mad Orange King is incapable of embarrassment. He has a thin skin and is easily offended, but he lacks the capacity to be embarrassed.

It's the United States Senate, specifically the Republican members of the Senate, who have embarrassed themselves and all of the United States.

Imagine casting a vote that pretty much tells the world that you are a dumbass! I guess "fool," would be more polite.

To their credit, it kind of took longer than I expected for Hegseth to implode. But it was an absolute certainty that he was going to fuck up massively. The only question was whether or not he was going to get anyone killed in the process.

And I just watched the 60 Minutes story on bird flu, because I'm not depressed enough or something.
