Having a chief of staff who is gay is not "doing culture war stuff." Caring about a gay chief of staff is "doing culture war stuff." I hope that is helpful.
It did not take long for @RobSandIA to betray his campaign promise that he won’t do culture war stuff. This is his new chief of staff.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, an armistice agreement ended the War of all Wars in 1918.
Out of that came Armistice Day and, later, Veterans Day.
Grateful for our veterans. Thanks for sharing your stories over the years!

Maria went looking for her mom at an ICE office. Instead, she found immigration officials, who told her she could either leave the building or go with her mother. “I’ll go with my mom,” she said, not knowing her mother had been detained.

The House will take an initial vote on the impeachment of Pete Hegseth this evening.
There were 22 GOP absences last night. If that continues, Democrats could move the impeachment forward without any Republican support.

A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted arity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

This is the language of the Iraq War: Those who question strategy or outcomes are cast by political leadership as being against the troops.
It wasn't true then. It isn't true now.
It wasn't true then. It isn't true now.
Hegseth - "If you want to take issue with what we did in Epic Fury or Rough Rider or nabbing Nicolas Maduro, you're taking issue with the troops and what they accomplished, which is historic."

For the sake of comparison, the U.S. lost roughly 7k across twenty years of war in the GWOT (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.) When you include contractors, CIA and federal government personnel, that number rises to 15k.
450,000 is an unfathomable amount of dead soldiers.

450,000 Russian KIA leaked from Russia’s own government agency with all the receipts to verify it online for everyone to see. It’s worse for them than many even estimated , that’s incomprehensible, that’s more than 4X the ENTIRE Vietnam and Korean War US deaths combined

Hollywood wants you to believe that the most prolific spy in the world is a 6ft something scottish guy in a tuxedo while in reality it's a 5'6 petite clever chinese girl who you met at a AI summit in Singapore.
