I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.
When @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered a Goodreads page tied to the email of a top Pentagon official featuring “Asian wife sharing” books and other pornographic works, he did what any reporter would do: ask the Pentagon questions.
The very next day, a threatening email from Jack Posobiec arrived.

That was the US DOJ. In functioning democracy it is not controlled by the president. You and I both wish they had done the right things, but if Biden told them what to do, he’d be the same as Trump

Reuters: The deployment of troops to cities around the US has cost more than $340 million, Sen. Tammy Duckworth said, highlighting the expense of Trump's use of the military in the Democratic-led cities.

Trump is calling for immunity from prosecution from the ICC for the duration of his life. If he doesn’t get immunity, he wants sanctions against the ICC itself. We need to stop this push!

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Here's what happened on the Senate floor today: Republicans voted to kill our bill to save the ACA tax credits—this was our last chance.
Then they held a sham vote on a GOP bill that does NOTHING to lower health care premiums.
Make sure everyone knows it.

How to Fix a Broken Supreme Court | Robert Reich
There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.
Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.
We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

Sharpei Viva was blocked on the top of a 5-story building after shelling.
The dog spent a month on the 5th floor. Volunteers helped & evacuated the animal together with Defenders.
Ukrainians are incredibly humane.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

When our taxes pay $12Billion to bail out the farmers, they don’t have to face the consequences of their vote.
They should be the LAST group we bail out. We first need to help the victims of the farmers’ election. Not rewarding the perpetrators
