Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

The Simple, Legal Way Trump Could Steal the Midterms A little-known section of the Constitution may hold the key to overturning Democratic wins in 2026.

Donald Trump's administration has directed embassy officials to reject visa applicants if they have worked as fact checkers or in roles challenging disinformation. Other banned fields include con-tent moderation, compliance and online safety - jobs that may include those tackling online child sexual abuse or antisemitism - in an appar-ent attempt to enforce censorship of people outside the US. UK officials and workers enforcing the Online Safety Act 2023, which allows Ofcom to fine social media companies for breaches such as cyberflashing, promoting self-harm, or racial abuse, face being barred from the US under the policy. The US state department claimed it wanted to stop "aliens coming to the United States to work as censors muzzling Americans", after Reuters reported the existence of the cable sent to US embassies and consulates on 2 December.

This isn't exactly subtle. Exactly what you'd expect from an authoritarian state.

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Unbe-fucking-lievable...

Putin's puppet, #Trump, is getting a pat on the back because his 'vision' aligns with the Kremlin's.

Wake up, Europe! Under its current administration, the USA is a hostile state 😢

FBI makes arrest in investigation into pipe bombs placed in DC on eve of Jan. 6 riot, AP source says The FBI has made an arrest in its nearly 5-year-old investigation into who placed pipe bombs in Washington before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

it is pretty sad that my first thought was not “they got him,” but rather “what poor sucker are Patel and Bongino jamming up because of a conspiracy theory?”

Trump’s/Hegseth’s extrajudicial killings are MURDER. If Trump pardons a man found guilty by an American jury of conspiring to import 400 TONS of cocaine into the U.S., his Venezuelan war has nothing to do with drugs. @reed.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

Trump: We will murder people in fishing boats because they might be smuggling drugs, even though there is no evidence.

Also Trump: I will pardon convicted drug kingpins because they're politically aligned with me.

Trump says he is “cracking down” on drugs while pardoning the drug lord who helped flood the U.S. with 400 tons of cocaine.

A president protecting kingpins while killing alleged low-level runners at sea.

You can’t make this shit up.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

a variation on mar-a-lago face?

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.
