This is beyond a gaffe. Trump's fragile ego is on full display as he wastes a cabinet meeting ranting about health reports he dozes through. His sensitivity over valid questions shows a leader unfit for the relentless demands of the office.

Gupta: These are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline that says as you age you should get an MRI of the heart and abdomen.

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD: It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS. I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Is this enough to convince the military to disobey illegal orders?

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me. In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

Trump: we’re going to keep America safe. We’re keeping the drugs out! Also Trump: pardons a guy convicted of trying to bring *hundreds of tons* of cocaine into the US.

Pseudo reflection. Confused pelican gives up on whether the gull is two gulls or it's just a reflection. Ha! #Birdoftheday #reflection #pelican #gull #eastcoastkin

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Did I miss when kushner got his security clearance? WTF is he doing in the "peace" negotiations? Oh that's right, to make sure the money 💰 gets to trumps and his and putins pockets.

The administration is scrambling, defending potential war crimes in Venezuela while pushing mass deportation. They tout a clean bill of health for Trump that experts find suspicious. It's a chaotic mix of brutality and cover-ups. apnews.com/live/trum...

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are: 1. Really stupid; or 2. Dangerously detached from reality; or 4. Lying; or 4. All three. 🎯

A president saying he “wouldn’t have wanted” a second strike after the fact is the oldest move in the book. Deny the order, protect the office, and leave the operator exposed. This isn’t about legality anymore. It’s about who gets sacrificed when the headlines turn.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

#BREAKING: Ideologically diverse Third Circuit panel unanimously *affirms* district court ruling that Alina Habba was *not* lawfully appointed to serve as Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey *or* to otherwise exercise the functions of that office: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A fair question. 😕🇺🇸

So the US is letting a convicted drug smuggler free why? To blow the guy up later or just because?

Trump’s a sick man, morally, cognitively, and in every manner. It's sad to see how far we have devolved as a nation.

Before you ask, yes apparently this is real. He must be taking comedy lessons and substances from Elon.

AOC donated 1,600 turkeys. Obama served dinner to veterans. Biden served dinner to wounded warriors. Trump insulted women, attacked reporters, and jetted off to his private club so he could spend more taxpayers' money.

` Trump Crowns Himself 'THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT' ... I don't even know what to say. I am no psychiatrist but this chit's getting serious. And who can sit his ignorant rump down with some pie charts and explain basic 4th grade percentages.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

The only thing Pete Hegseth shows any competency in is creating great exhibits for criminal investigations are trials.

Goldsmith says Vice-Admiral Bradley should have refused the order

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

This is true of so many issues. “ if only the vote voters were better, educated or better informed they would make different choices”

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

But but those CEO’s need more vacation homes in Europe, Australia and Canada! They are suffering from lack of enough money 💰. 🖖😉 So much to fix once we Democrats return. But we will definitely do it! AGAIN! 🖖🤩💙🇺🇸💙🖖

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?" Mark Kelly: "It seems to." Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?" Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."
