Pete Hegseth may have committed a war crime.    The American people deserve full transparency. Congress must see the unredacted video of the strike and hear the radio recordings of the orders given.

The former beauty contestant’s role at the DOJ is in limbo after a judge ruled that she had been unlawfully serving as interim U.S. attorney. trib.al/dvVvppt

FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...

"Floridians cannot allow the legislature to rig our elections for the president. Now is the time to speak up, regardless of your political affiliation, and demand that our lawmakers play by the rules." https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/11/29/say-no-to-trumps-mid-decade-redistricting-opinion/

Donald Trump attempted to bypass the Senate’s constitutional role by installing a loyalist to act as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. From the beginning, I have objected to Trump's maneuvers to keep his preferred nominee in power and the court today affirmed that those maneuvers were unlawful.

Federal appeals court rules Alina Habba, Trump's former personal lawyer, is unlawfully serving as the US attorney for New Jersey. https://cnn.it/4pairkP

Passing the Restore Trust in Congress Act will not solve every problem in Washington. But it is one of the clearest and most meaningful steps we can take right now to show the American people that we work for them and only for them.

I’m hoping they show this Hegseth post at his sentencing hearing.

Don't believe the lies from Trump and Hegseth! Trump is NOT counter-drugs! Only 'counter-people he doesn't like'. Trump is fabricating an argument to start a war for oil! In other news, Trump will pardon convicted drug trafficker and supporter, ex-President of Honduras. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“The United States is now a nation run by public servants who behave no better than internet trolls,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. “Who’s responsible for these choices? Your mother, apparently”:

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

Trump's lack of regular voter contact has contributed to a growing fear among Republicans and White House allies: that Trump is too isolated, and has become out of touch with what the public wants from its president, @jonlemire.bsky.social writes.

A leading economist accused President Donald Trump of spouting “nonsense” in his boasts about the amount raised by his import tariffs.

“If this happened as described in the Post report, it was, at best, a war crime under federal law."

A whole lot happened this weekend. Catch up with today's Meidas+ bulletin (no paywall): www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Odd, that this mean white supremacist is preoccupied with other "failed states" when he is busy failing our own.

"My poll numbers have never been better."

And suddenly Albania VPN use is through the roof. (I understand there are a number of other countries that also ban ads…)

Republicans are determined to let the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire. These extremists haven’t done a damn thing to address the high cost of living. And that’s why working class Americans are abandoning the GOP in droves.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”: “Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would never exist” (2018)

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

One of America's foremost authorities on vaccines has appointed a notorious vaccine skeptic as its second-in-command.

Why outrage is erupting over Trump plan to exclude nursing from 'professional' designation

Reminder: 343 days until Midterms (Nov 3, 2026). What GOP has done so far: - Vote Against: veterans, teachers, disabled, elderly, women, minorities, & immigrants - Vote FOR: Tax cuts for the rich, protect rich pedophiles - Trump: City invasions, tariffs, bribes 4 service, crypto fraud Stay safe!

"If she were willing to do anything to help us, she would have reached out by now. She has my phone number."

Pete Hegseth’s latest crusade—a bizarre Pentagon investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly—triggered immediate blowback, including from inside his own party.

"Recently, I found myself asking: What would military theorist Carl von Clausewitz say about the quest for peace between Russia and Ukraine? Perhaps he might write a letter like the one below." @markhertling.bsky.social channels the "On War" author on Ukraine: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pzTkrK

It’s the season of giving and thanks to Republicans, families are giving up more just to afford it. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

Bari Weiss thinks CBS’ path to relevancy is more Alan Dershowitz. We couldn’t make it up if we tried She also clearly says something we have said for years: all media has a bias. “charismatic centrism” is just her way of being very clear objectivity is a myth as she plans to Newsmaxify the network

A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence. Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say. Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

After I called out the big banks for adding ANOTHER $20 billion to Trump’s Argentina bailout, their plan is on ice. But they are still exploring a $5 billion loan – potentially guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers. No bailout for Argentina’s rich hedge fund investors.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Waters: This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we're all doing: resisting this lowdown dirty no good filthy president

Comey stated that "a message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.” If only that were so. Trump's assault on the rule of law is not over. New from @kimwehle.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pzNqa3

With Insurance premiums set to skyrocket Trump is now trying to extend the Obamacare subsidies, putting Republicans who have railed against it in a box. Reminder: with the shutdown Dems shined a light on this so everyone knows who to blame if they don’t. punchbowl.news/article/whit...

New in PN: Trump's lawfare takes a big L "In theory, Trump could nominate someone actually qualified and bring new charges against Comey and James. In reality, the Venn diagram of confirmable US attorney candidates and people willing to pursue bogus indictments shows little if any overlap."

A wave of former Justice Department employees is reportedly leaving behind more than just empty seats, revealing a glimpse of life inside the Trump administration.

Hegseth is very very terrified, deep deep down of something to do with maleness www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.
