Trump donor John Phelan, who never served in the military, now Navy Secretary, looking to hire as spokesperson a correspondent for far-right news outlet Breitbart. Fake news anyone? My advice to U.S. sailors (I used to be one, proudly so): volunteer for sea duty. Now.

The next one...Now available for preorders.

Trump behavior today with Pres Zulensky was shameful. We have lost our standing with Europe and global allies. We are now an ally of Putin.

Money talks

On this day in 1945, Violette Szabo was executed in Ravensbrück death camp.

Removing Turner means there are things Trump and Gabbard and Putin and Elon plan that no one but an active traitor to the United States would accept or not blow the whistle on We’re seeing all the signs that what’s coming is a hard stop for American democracy, and nothing is being done to avert it

The scale of overlap between President-elect Trump’s family members and their business interests — and the government he will lead — underscores how unprecedented the second Trump presidency and the potential for conflicts of interest will be.

A temporary halt to a brutal war. Perhaps 33 hostages will come out. Tireless work by Sec State Blinken and CIA Dir Burns. Diplomacy only ratifies reality. The IDF smashed Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran alone. Trump threat significant to foes of Israel.
