Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord
The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.
Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

A photo of Homeland Security Investigations officers searching for two individuals who fled the scene after being stopped while selling flowers on the side of the road on Nov. 16, 2025, in Charlotte, N.C., overlaid with the headline, "“Real” America Is Turning Against Trump’s Mass Deportation Regime," and the DEK, "Everyday Americans in Appalachia and the Southeast show that resisting ICE is becoming the rule, rather than the exception."
For decades, Appalachia has lived with the same lesson carved into the hills like coal seams: When Washington shows up, it’s rarely to help. interc.pt/48zAY3c

Now Trump Is Threatening Naturalized Americans
He’s not just bashing refugees and illegal immigrants. He’s going after U.S. citizens born in other countries.
Xenophobia is bad enough, but turning it on *American citizens* born in other countries is another step away from a rule-bound immigration regime towards...something else. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l

RFK’s Anti-Vax Team Readies Its Next Moves
“Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”
To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

Harris: And this district won’t turn blue. And it probably won’t even turn purple. It will turn pink. And that’s why a Democrat like me, who’s in the center, has to clearly understand that when I get there, I’ve got to be able to represent everybody

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.
If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.
A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Transgender Student-Athlete Lia Smith Remembered as a Friend and Fierce Advocate — Assigned
Lia Smith, a 21-year-old trans student-athlete in Vermont, took her own life last week. Her friends, family and community mourn, and remember her as a bright young woman who spoke on behalf of her com...
The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

#Wagenknecht bezeichnet das deutsche Wahlrecht in ihrem neuen Insta-Reel als "Mafia". Diese Sekte ist endgültig in tiefbraunen, verschwörungsideologischen Gefilden angekommen. Wahnsinn, wie sehr man sich in einen Verschwörungsmythos hinein radikalisieren kann, wenn die eigene Karriere am Ende ist.

Upcoming events – People Not Politicians
One of the unique things about Missouri is our ability to veto legislation passed without our consent. This outrageous mid-decade redistricting should be thrown out. This is the last week to sign the petitions to put it to a vote. Sign a petition now! We pick our politicians, they don’t pick us!

Whereas it’s a good development that a suspect has been arrested, given the lack of legitimacy of people like Bondi & Patel, if any of the evidence in this case would reflect poorly on Donald Trump, is there any way in hell they would share it with the public?
We'll see at today's press conference.
