Opinion | Pete Hegseth Is Doing Something Even Worse Than Breaking the Law

ICE is failing to address the medical needs of the people they detain. Inhumane and shameful.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Don’t miss this excellent article.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

So the boat wasn’t even heading to 🇺🇸

I guess now that Trump got the FIFA peace prize and strapped the medal around his neck he can expand his murder operation in the Caribbean with more gusto.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

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.

Senator Murray: RFK Jr.’s Hand-Picked Anti-Vax Panel has “Destroyed Any Shred of Credibility” with Dangerous Removal of Universal Hep B Vaccine Recommendation - Senator Patty Murray CDC vaccine advisory panel ends universal recommendation of Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, unless mother’s status is positive or unknown One in four children with chronic Hepatitis B will later die...

“Today is a defining moment for our country,” Michael Osterholm, a public health expert at the University of Minnesota, said. “We can no longer trust federal health authorities when it comes to vaccines.” 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

So he’s saying when he was a podcaster he was being paid to lie and invent conspiracies for his listeners but now he has to tell the truth.

Is MAGA Becoming Pro-War? Debate over Venezuela is dividing the Republican Party.

Trump once promised an “America First” foreign policy, but his push toward military action in Venezuela appears “as though the will of American voters is the last thing on his mind,” Conor Friedersdorf argues.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

I don’t understand one thing: clearly Trump is not long for this earth, he’s an older man. Still could live another 10 years but still that’s not long.

Does he really have no concern about facing his creator?

Angry elderly people…. I don’t understand

UPDATE: Trump Jr.-backed startup receives $620 million Pentagon loan In October, Popular Information reported that the Pentagon awarded a contract to Unusual Machines, an obscure drone comp

A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company.

This is what kleptocracy looks like. https://popular.info/p/update-trump-jr-backed-startup-receives

Screenshot of an MSNBC interview. The host questions Senator Roger Marshall about Trump pardoning the former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking. Marshall appears on-screen saying he hasn’t researched it.

Republican officials never seem to have heard or thought much about the most disturbing actions of their own president.

Westerners are lucky to have never lived under Ru occupation so they don't fear it. They imagine it as a distant, theoretical limit that doesn't affect individuals' lives. The leftists imagine it can't be worse than living in/under the American empire. In reality...

Stand up for what matters...

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.

Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.

Tweet from Independent Voices discussing Moscow stalling on a Ukraine peace deal. Image is an illustration of Vladimir Putin and another man playing chess, but the chess pieces are tanks and missiles; a bear is lying on the board.

Russia is a failing power that managed to control us through our leaders.

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.

There’s no need for dog whistles anymore. The government of the United States now openly stands for bigotry. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l
