What if it was Hegseth in a Signal chat with a journalist? Jack Smith was correct: THAT should have been criminally investigated. But Patel was too busy shotgunning brewdogs in the locker room after a fuckjet flight to boondoggle ranch on the taxpayer dime.

"EVERY POWER PLANT" Iran has one civilian nuclear power plant. If it's hit, that's a dirty bomb which can blanket the region with highly radioactive material for millennia.

THREATENING THE SLAUGHTER OF 90 MILLION HUMANS With multi-generational harm throughout the region, and the chance of escalation to global nuclear war. 25th Amendment now.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Pres. Trump's latest threats on Truth Social, if carried out, would violate the law of armed conflict as laid out in the Geneva Conventions and the DoD Law of War Manual. It is both irresponsible and wrong to indiscriminately kill civilians in Iran and destroy civilian infrastructure. My statement:

It was March 23rd. Then March 27th. Then March 30th. Then he gave that weird address on April 1st. new deadline April 4th. Then April 6th at 7 AM. Then April 7th at 8 PM. And now another address tomorrow at 1 PM. The chaos is intentional.

President Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to dial back mail-in voting likely doesn’t stand a chance in court according to Republican officials Al Schmidt, the current Pennsylvania Secretary of State, and Stephen Richer, the former Maricopa County Recorder.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Over 770,000 homeless in America. Millions of children go hungry everyday. They’ve cut Social Security and Medicare for seniors. $39 trillion in debt Spending $890 million a day on the Iranian war. But Marco Rubio tells Iran to spend their billions on their people, not weapons. #SheShed
