Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

What a confession.

Shipwrecked and not using any communications equipment.

This is a crime against humanity. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for murdering stranded civilians in cold blood.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Natasha Bertrand: Lawmakers are apparently being shown the full video of the Sept 2 boat strikes in their meetings with Adm Bradley and Gen Caine. 

HIMES: β€œwhat I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service…you have two individuals and clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, were killed by the United States.”

They need to release this video to the public

Pentagon watchdog finds Hegseth's Signal chat violated regulations, could have endangered troops, sources say The Pentagon watchdog recently completed its report on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal to share details about operations in Yemen.

"In a statement Wednesday, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the review 'is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth...' This matter is resolved & the case is closed."

Whiskey Pete's hand-picked clown-car Pentagon press corps (Gaetz! Loomer! Posobiec!) might buy that, but who else does?

Trump’s lie that he’s preparing to attack Venezuela to protect U.S. national security is no different than Putin’s lie that he attacked Ukraine to protect Russia’s.

And by using the same lie to justify another illegal invasion, Trump gives Putin rhetorical cover. Despots stick together.

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."

This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

2 conservative operatives get probation for robocalls to discourage Black Detroit voters in 2020 Two conservative political operatives have been sentenced to probation a scheme to discourage Black Detroit voters from voting by mail in the 2020 presidential election.

Probation is way too lenient for these pigs.
