The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Generals getting lectured by a draft dodger and a drunk. Welcome to MAGAmerica.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Cockeyed 👀 Kash is a real smart guy! Perfect to be head of FBI 🙄🤪

🛢 Historically unprecedented: 38% of Russia's refinery capacity was shut down after Ukrainian drone attacks, — RBC As a result, gasoline production in September fell by 1 million tons, and its deficit on the domestic market reached 20% of consumption.

Rieckhoff: And if you watched that speech, you'd think that our enemies are fat generals, the city of Portland, Trump's political enemies and DEI

Ted Cruz: “How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking p*dophiles." 🤔

MAGA just does not do normal, do they?

👊🏼 RESISTANCE MEET & GREET 👊🏼 "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, Shall Not Perish from this Earth"‼️ We, the Resistance, will do whatever we can to ensure this! Follow fellow resisters below. Connect and support one another. We'll get through this together! #StongerTogether 👊🏼

Russ Vought is a very dangerous man. He frequently embraces the unconstitutional and illegal. He should be far better known for the threat he poses to the rule of law.

Don’t believe a word the liars have to say. This fight is about the healthcare of the American people.

Hegseth: "Any place where tried & true physical standards were altered, especially since 15 when combat arms standards were changed to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their original standard. Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial quotas, which is just as unacceptable"

Here’s a clip of me venting about Hegseth’s expensive , unnecessary and dangerous meeting and his hostility to women in the military. Rest of the episode analyzes why Coney indictment is legally, factually and ethically wrong. #JustTheFacts

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Revisionist history in under five days.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

Mat Staver says marriage equality led to Charlie Kirk’s murder. Yes, really. He’s blaming Obergefell for everything from mass shootings to “the rise in trans.” It’s disgusting, dangerous, and sadly, not surprising.

Jon Stewart on the media's inability to analyze shootings beyond a simplistic left-right political paradigm

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

Democracy is at stake, and California voters get a chance to save it. Vote Yes on 50 - a temporary redistricting to offset the power grab by Trump and Texas politicians who re-gerrymandered Texas to get more House seats We put this sign on our front deck #VoteYesOnProp50

“Hi Donald.” New post from Jimmy Kimmel where he’s joined by Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

You don’t have to do layoffs. And he specifically says that they are going to permanently terminate civil servants who are registered Democrats.

Trump to generals: "Canada called me a couple weeks ago. They want to be a part of it. To which I said, 'Well, why don't you just join our country. Become the 51st state. And you get it for free!' So I don't know if that made a big impact but it does make a lot of sense."

Same as it ever was.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Nevada voter, my firm has filed a new lawsuit in Nevada state court challenging a ballot initiative seeking to undermine and alter the state's current redistricting process. www.democracydocket.com/cases/nevada...

Any mention of the law?

#Hegseth is openly advocating that soldiers can do war crimes with his backing. This speech explains why Trump pardons murders and other war criminals.

NGL I’M PROUD: That the Generals and SNCOs at Quantico had the military bearing to not cheer or clap for that disgraceful speech. @SecWar is a drunk, sexual assaulting racist who thought it was clever to give fuck ups in the armed forces permission to be drunks, racists, sexual assaulters!

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Trump is bailing out Argentina with our tax dollars because helping another right-wing lunatic who tanked their economy is a top priority of our “America First” president. That’s 20 Billion Dollars with a B suckers!

The man is the Yo-Yo Ma of tasteless vulgarity.

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

I needed this happiness today. Absolutely wonderful to see my friend @markhamillofficial.bsky.social and a very happy birthday to my friend @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
