Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.
Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.
Every commanding officer in the US military that gives the orders to bomb civilians, desal plants, non military targets needs to be court martialed and sent to prison. A strong message needs to be sent to our military that they took an oath to the Constitution. Iran is a war crime.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
I don’t think there is ever a great time for humanity to turn our future over to a set of intelligent machines, but I know that doing so while the globe is dominated by an Epstein Class of anti-human fascists is definitely the worst time.
The ADL represents the Stephen Miller wing of American Jews—and that’s it. They’ve betrayed the community they claim to defend.
The Trump regime cannot explain the point of the war on Iran.
My conclusion is that they are waging a multi-billion dollar war against the Epstein Files.
It’s the culture of Elon Musk’s X platform made real and given weapons and immunity
Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.
The White House’s failure to think a step or two ahead—such as what Iran could do with the Strait of Hormuz—is another “reminder of what it means to purge government and decision-making of all the experts.”
@profsaunders.bsky.social dropping some political science with @gregsargent.bsky.social.
The US military is great at lethality. Truly world-class. Point to something and the US military can kill everyone there.
But lethality is a means, not an end. Ends are inherently political.
Said millions of times but bears repeating, since the people who don’t get it are in charge of the country.
Seems we already knew this during Trump's first term.
“when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money”
And by “we,” Donald means ExxonMobil, and by “make a lot of money,” he means off of you.
If in the future there's an Iran-linked terrorist attack against the US, or if Iran get nuclear weapons, it will be Donald Trump's fault. But there will be immense social pressure against saying so, because while factually accurate, it'll be considered partisan, biased, and old news.
Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Priorities.

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
I understand voting for Democrats as a defensive measure, but it blows my mind in 2026 that people still believe in them.
USAID public servants lost our careers, pensions, and healthcare. Some lost their homes. Some lost their children’s tuition. Some colleagues died by suicide. Now we learn our Social Security numbers were stolen and exposed too.
"Messaging" wasn't going to win the election for Kamala Harris. Americans not being stupid, misogynistic, sexist, racist, low information, uncaring, and suffering from amnesia would have definitely given her a better shot. And yes voters who didn't vote for her are to blame. This is not hard.
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..."

The Oklahoma Eagle reported that the family of Michael Glunt was told it could take 8+ months and $3,000 to obtain bodycam footage from a Feb. 8 police shooting. After publication, the family met with the mayor’s office and was told the video does not exist.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Trump endorsed GOP candidate Brandon Herrera tonight.
Here is Brandon recreating the assassination of MLK and then shooting the target dummy at close range.
He then chuckled and said, “This is so fucking wrong.”
They're all living in bunkers now.
This Trump Administration won't leave legally or peacefully because they know they've committed crimes and will be - hopefully - held accountable.

I can understand the Trump people, idiotically, not making a plan. But it’s unfathomable to me that CENTCOM didn’t have a plan in the files somewhere from a more competent era of American governance. What have generations of Pentagon war planners been doing?
Buying men shoes that are clownishly big for them and having them feel like they have to wear them in front of the world press is a sex thing, I’m sorry.
Your daily reminder that not a single epstein client has been arrested.
You really need to watch this whole clip. It's amazing.
