Patel appears to be intent on trying to undermine CI 12. Do you know what that means to our national security.

Meanwhile the war has expanded to 12 countries.

And the Strait of Hormuz is closed and gas prices rise.

At home we have ICE and Gnome building prison camps.

Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. The fact that the attack violates the Constitution won’t stop him from trying. It is our job to expose this plot and ensure that it does not succeed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

But when his country called for Trump to serve, his daddy’s tenant faked a bone spurs diagnosis so someone else could go in his place.

For everyone else, “that’s the way it is.” bsky.app/profile/meid...

​Corporate media and their paid propagandist's have determined that dictatorship is more profitable than democracy.

First rule of Trump Club: He always lies.
Second rule of Trump Club: His supporters always lie.
Third rule of Trump Club: The media amplifies the lies.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

isn't the loss of security.
It's the loss of the capacity
