Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines. Since saving lives is their thing.

I'm tired of responding to bad-faith MAGA outrage, which always distracts corporate media, centrists, & those who feel they must indulge their temper tantrums. They're blaming all of us now for the National Guard shooting. Just say: "Fuck Off, Release the Epstein Files, and Happy Thanksgiving."

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

The FBI redirected lots of agents to work on deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally, but who were not involved in separate criminal activity. Perhaps if they'd been working on terrorism and violence cases, the two National Guard agents would not have been shot.

Trump is the abusive spouse. Here's what he'll do: Hold back SNAP payments, food assistance, so 4 million people, families, children, the elderly & disabled, vets & military, will go hungry. Then he'll swoop in and restore it as if HE PERSONALLY is giving them food, feeding them himself like a god.

To my fellow vets: this is what we swore to defend against. The President is making up a "rebellion" to use Title 10 and turn soldiers against civilians in the U.S. We must stand with Portland and demand our brothers and sisters in the Guard are not used this way.
