The new National Security Strategy: Does Congress agree with travesty? Are the American people aware of what Trump is doing? Reviving the Monroe Doctrine, minimizing NATO, etc. Now, having three spheres of influence via Trump, Putin and Xi.

Hegseth is a dude-bro sporting some questionable tattoos, a creation of television who’s acting as if he won "The Apprentice: The Nuclear-Weapons Season." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

@coons.senate.gov @bluntrochester.senate.gov Hegseth must re impeached NOW for committing murder on the high seas. This is a war crime, pure and simple.

This leader has the cajones to make a turn in our climate action, or as Bucky Fuller might call it, a serious trimtab.

The climate crisis won’t wait and neither will we. With this team, we’ll meet it head-on.

Impeach Donald Trump, again.

Trump says that he is going to cancel 92% of President Biden's actions because the use of the autopen is not legitimate. This is legally incorrect. Along with extrajudicial killings in the open sea, and so many other intollerable actions, Impeach Donald Trump, again. www.cnn.com/2025/11/28/p...

@iarnsdorf.bsky.social Regarding your article about FEMA and Noem, is it possible for public comment on this decision?

Dr Snyder is sadly spot on. Trump is knowingly hanging the country out to dry. I'm guessing that he will amass as much wealth (offshore) as possible and make his getaway while the US fights both an internal and external war.

Up to 23,500 service members are being readied and trained for civil unrest missions in U.S. cities. These citizen soldiers are National Guard from all 50 states, to be ready for deployment by 1 January 2026. WTF? wapo.st/433N9Dk

Good observation Betty,

How about turning this mission into a humanitarian one with the collision of this Cat 5 hurricane with the Strike Fleet?

Next week, the SNAP food program will no longer fund our nation's poor. However, there is a reserve fund of $5,000,000,000 that is available once Trump gives the word. He will not, 49 million Americans without food help. What the hell is wrong with this guy? www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Don't be distracted, the real motive is and has always been to consolidate autocratic rule.

Epstein Note: Follow the money. Mellon heir's connection to the pedophile and the president.

Looking at the rendition of the ballroom, it looks like it came from pre-war Iraq. Thanks to Saddam Donald and sons Uday Donald and Qusay Eric for helping to make this possible.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Oops, I thought that this was about the Trump crime family; money laundering, extortion, mob connections.

Stirring

What the hell? On his own, without permission from anyone or anything, Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the Whitehouse and replacing it with a Mara Lago style ballroom. WTF?

Things I Liked About Joe Biden: He didn't put tacky bric-a-brac all over the Oval Office. He didn't kidnap or torture. He didn't accept bribes. He didn't murder fishermen. He didn't shake down the DOJ for $230 million. He didn't destroy a wing of the White House. He wasn't in Epstein's Files.

NEWS: "Donald Trump is a pedophile who routinely raped young girls." MAGA: "So boring." NEWS: "Donald Trump is allowing Qatar to build an air force base in Idaho.” MAGA: “This is IMMORAL! What an outrage!!! I will not stand for this wicked behavior!!!”

I love that the folks in Norway didn't want to just deprive Donald Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize he was so shamelessly hungry for, they awarded it instead to someone he would hate, a decent Latina woman working against undemocratic authoritarianism. Nice touch. 👨‍🍳👄

Good and realistic piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social Our most populous, most productive, most powerful, and most federal-tax-paying state can do more to throw its weight around. And stop a bully.

First, the HUD blamed the Dems on the shutdown on their website (www.hud.gov#close), then they are using the furloughed employs emails to blame the Dems for the shutdown. These folks are dishonest. www.wired.com/story/govern...

Trump Cut Funding to 16 Dem States. Can States Cut His?

A breath of sanity, from Tom NIchols www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

With news of the government shutdown, we wanted to let YOU know that we are still here! One perk of taking our mission into the nonprofit sector, we still get to work toward our mission of keeping trusted climate information up to date and easy to find without the "politics" of government involved.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

Trump Chaos, 7 days a week‼️
