"I don't worry about their competency," said Ernst. "That's not something I worry about. I just want to make sure that as we move forward, anytime there's sensitive information discussed, that we do it in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), or on those classified lines. So, I do know here in the Senate, anytime I receive sensitive information, I have to go down to the Senate SCIF and receive that information."

1. "I don't worry about their competency."

Even though this entire thing was caused by their incompetence.

2. umm. Ernst has a no biggie when she needs to go to SCIF--but Trumpy folks get a pass.

Something is VERY wrong about that statement. very very wrong--and dangerous to our troops.
As someone said--the reckless gang got lucky--this time--no troops were hurt--or worse.
But when they have no consequences===how long will it be until it happens again??--

5. Iowa democrats need to find a strong challenger to run against her in 2026.

Ernst has turned into the exact kind of politician she claimed needed to be held accountable when she first ran 12 years ago.

She has been compromised and corrupted by power and needs to be voted out of office.

6. My best guess is that she will equal Grassley's longevity in the Senate: I think that being from Iowa has given her...

...an advantage that is very unlikely to be overcome unless things become much, much more catastrophic than now. She has won both of her elections by around 100,000 votes. So, Iowa Democrats probably need to build a pool of potential candidates more than two years out if they hope to win an election with one of those candidates: short of that sort of planned attempt, I doubt that they will succeed in that environment.
