Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

Block Markwayne Mullin’s Confirmation as DHS Secretary | Indivisible Trump thinks swapping out ICE Barbie Kristi Noem with loyalist lapdog Markwayne Mullin will take the heat off our demands for accountability - tell your Senator they must oppose Mullin’s confirmation!

Trump has nominated MAGA loyalist Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem.

The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICE’s lawless violence.

“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world … [gets] destroyed.”—Hannah Arendt, Lying in Politics (1971)

Trump dances like a lunatic for a crowd clapping like trained seals as 8 American servicemembers have been killed and gas prices are up 30% since January thanks to his optional war.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

Brutal Reality of Pentagon Pete’s Massive Cuts Is Exposed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s brutal staff cuts at the Pentagon have impacted the departments that would have investigated the fatal strike on a girls’ school in Iran. President Donald Trump, wh...

Pete Hegseth gutted Pentagon oversight, calling the rules of war "stupid." He slashed the Middle East casualty team from 10 experts to one.

Then came the Minab strike: 170 girls and 14 teachers dead.

The Pentagon’s "inability to confirm" its role is the outcome Hegseth engineered.

"If you oppose the war in Iran, you have to oppose funding and if you try to split the baby you'll look like either believe in nothing or you are too cowardly to vote your conscious.... Oppose the war on the merits & vote against funding."
