Hegseth’s Thursday night purge of Generals continues. The Armed Services Commitee must demand he and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll answer questions immediately. And, see if their stories match. This is all very unprecedented and alarming. Especially in a time of war.🚨🇺🇸

The speaker after that, with the Chicago Alliance Against Racism and Political Repression, called for regular public reporting on any communication between CPD and federal immigration agents.

UNREAL: A drone maker backed by Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the U.S. military led by their father. In other words Trump to profit from the war. apnews.com/article/trum...

“What we're trying to do is help focus not only the mind, but the hearts. If Americans can't remember that children do not deserve to be incarcerated and tortured, then our democracy is already lost,” says Stacey Abrams on raising awareness of the ICE facility detaining children in Dilley, Texas.

Roughly half of Iran's missile launchers are still intact and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran's arsenal despite US and Israeli strikes against military targets, according to recent US intelligence assessments, sources say. https://cnn.it/3OiQnP9

President Trump has ousted the second member of his Cabinet in less than a month. Attorney General Pam Bondi is out after serving just 14 months. https://to.pbs.org/4co2Zh2

There is no aspect of voting or the 2026 elections that Republicans are not attacking. This is an all out assault on democracy. My law firm and I are litigating in nearly 90 places to stop it with more to come.

Millions of barrels of oil destined for India remain trapped in the Gulf. To replace them, the country's refiners have turned once again to Russia

I retired in 2006, and am now around the Army only when I go to Madigan for medial stuff. I'm shocked at how much this generation has changed. I like to think that we would have had a much stronger response to [waves arms at all this]

You and me both. Two generations at least, and that’s assuming a full court press with senior leaders who actually have the intellect and staff competence to pull it off.

It is so hard to watch the decline. They may never get back to where they were. They may get close (at least), if we can stop the decline, do the right things, and avoid similar catastrophic setbacks; the Roberts Court will make this all the more difficult.

Without a doubt

It is likely the same for the civilian agencies.

Will take more than a generation - if it's even possible. I've been around it 30 plus years and have two sons serving. I'm not surprised at the level of complicity - I'm surprised that anyone thought this wasn't going to happen.

This institutional rot has been going on since early GWOT.

I'm very much worried that in 4 years we're going to be the Army of the 80s that the CGSOC history prof (Dr Hansen) would tell us about to scare us.

After those Stalinist purges of the competent officers, it took 26+ million deaths for the Soviet Union to finally prevail over the Nazis. Makes you think (i.e., weep).

The mass firings of career officers at senior levels looks very much like Stalinist purges of 1936-1938 which then led to catastrophic losses early in WWII. The way the Iran war is going, we may say the same about the Trump-Hegseth purges.

I’ve been around the army for 53 years. Never been more pessimistic about the health of the institution — it’s likely to get much worse over the next 34 months. Rebuilding the norms and ethics of the profession is going to take a generation+.

The wife of the TPUSA employee who is currently barred from running for office for 5 years for forging campaign signatures is running their voter registration page. Chef’s kiss, no notes.

literally, if we can get a grocery store in the spot where the Amazon Fresh's sudden closure punched a gaping hole in my neighborhood, I would live in this apartment until I died tbh

Bishop Daniel Thomas also took away the TV Mass for the sick & homebound & wrote a letter to Catholics in his Diocese during the 2020 election that was widely viewed as supporting Trump’s reelection.

Well, this is pretty incredible.

Long-term pain to fund wealthfare.

So, lemme guess...short-term pain?

"President Trump is preparing to release a fiscal year 2027 budget plan on Friday that will frame his party’s midterm election message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies." (gift link)

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

With a 33% approval rating, you’d think he wouldn’t want televised hearings where people are asking his lawyer about the insurrection he started, the classified documents he stole, the women and children he raped… But what do I know? I’m just some guy who *didn’t* start a war with Iran.

MacFarlane: What do you think is Bondi’s legacy? Raskin: She leaves a legacy of absolute sycophancy and invertebrate servitude to Donald Trump. What a terrible way to squander your reputation as a lawyer and to essentially ruin a legal career that I understand was once promising.

Seth David Radwell, political analyst and author of "American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation," talks with WCPT's Richard Chew about how Trump is wasting billions of dollars on the Iran War while "we have tremendous problems" here.

Todd Blanche, not a Bridge Over Troubled Watters

Can we get a Reconstruction 2.0 while we’re at it?

They've sucked up ENOUGH taxpayer money, imho. We need clear, strong DETERRENTS.

@wyden.senate.gov , so happy to see you be adamant about Nuremburg 2.0! If the next Dem admin does only 1 thing, it will be bringing meaningful accountability to all these traitors! No pardons, no mercy! Meaningful prison sentences for all!!

And all the money they are paying out to insurrectionists

also some of this while we're at it

Is that realistic? It better be. Otherwise we are a rogue nation with nukes. People in the Trump admin need to pay a steep price.

You better be serious.

We can all call Thune.

He can't call Thune?

You should call Thune, who is in charge of the Senate, and ask him why he's opposed to it instead of shooting smarmy shots at a Senator in the minority party who currently can't.

You should call your Senator and ask him to do that

Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Do you think Todd Blanche will destroy the Epstein Files that have not been released?

It's the Daily Mail, but: "Attorney General Pam Bondi begged Donald Trump not to fire her in an explosive showdown at the White House after he accused her of an unforgivable offense."

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

The number of service members and civilians shot and killed on US military bases over the next 2+ years is going to rise quite a bit.

yep, this is a case of hegseth wanting a whites-only military bsky.app/profile/nanc...
