Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

Watch this clip.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

A Mississippi death penalty jury was seated with one Black juror - Mississippi Today The U.S. Supreme Court will hear an appeal this month from death row inmate Terry Pitchford who was denied relief by the Mississippi Supreme Court after his attorneys claimed Black people were illegal...

"Though jury selection can often take weeks in a capital case, Pitchford’s jury was chosen in just one day."

“This is already a disproportionately white jury for the population of this county. It appears to be a pattern of disproportionately challenging African-American jurors.”

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

If Republicans made it easy and free to obtain suitable ID, it would be one thing. As it is Republican voter suppression also includes widespread efforts to make it much harder, more time-consuming, and more expensive to obtain ID.

Veterans Affairs to Advocate for Legal Guardianship for Some Vets The new initiative with the Justice Department is aimed at helping veterans who can’t make their own healthcare decisions.

1/ "Critics of involuntary civil-commitment programs argue they violate civil liberties and stigmatize mental illness."

So much for the government "caring" about Vets. 🤷‍♀️ They wanna institutionalize homeless vets against their wishes. This comes after they did mass layoffs at the VA.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

A recent example of a MAGA Christian woman talking to me days after my husband was in a bad wreck:

"Why arent you with him at the hospital? If it were my husband, he would WANT ME."

What part of "totaled car and living over an hour away from the hospital while having pets" dont you understand? 🤯

The Trump DOJ is giving guns back to felons, including one alleged fake elector The Department of Justice is quietly restarting a decades-dormant program to restore gun rights to felons. One of them was an alleged fake elector in 2020.

"There are scant details about how the DOJ decided which people should be on the list.

Kris Brown, president of the gun violence prevention group Brady United, said the lack of transparency could lead to violent offenders getting their guns back."
