They wanted the element of surprise: still negotiating with Iran, American citizens all over the Middle East. So some American citizens are killed by Iran, they use that as a rallying cry.

Neguse: “Where's Safe America Media headquartered?”

Noem: “I don’t know.”

Neguse: “I don’t know either. We can't find it…You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that a $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquart

BREAKING: VoteVets is reminding the American people by highlighting Trump’s own quotes on the RNC tonight. Spread this everywhere so all Americans see it.

He’ll still be re-elected. He waited to confess until the primary was over. All he cares about is himself!

ProPublica Sues Education Department for Withholding Records About Discrimination in Schools Under Secretary Linda McMahon, the work of the Office for Civil Rights, which aims to protect students from discrimination, is cloaked in secrecy.

We sent 4 records requests to the Education Department — the first more than a year ago — seeking the status of school investigations, findings of discrimination reversed under Trump and more.

The agency gave no response except to acknowledge it received them.

Sen. Blumenthal has written a letter to Kristi Noem about her denial that Corey Lewandowski has a role in approving contracts at DHS.

"I demand that you amend your testimony" and "provide the basis for your apparent false statement on the record."

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Maybe I’m over reading his micro-expressions, but I think her husband is enjoying her grilling. Interesting that he is there…

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Even the Republicans see the corruption that this Trump administration is engaging in.

Trump & his administration only care about lining their pockets, and not about what's best for the American people!

#TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

More of this, please

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

Starting a war so you could invoke emergency war powers

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna have Americans dying, and the end result is going to be hard line leadership continues in Iran and we don't get rid of their nuclear program. That's a moral and strategic disaster for the country."

Chris Murphy: "This is a disaster. It's illegal."

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Good to see you back on!

I still want to see the missing 50 pages!

Bad decision to bring in Joe Narcissist and Mika! I started watching local news instead…

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to know Jim Stockdale, but I have read and re-read his books, and they were my friends in difficult times. Pete Hegseth is no Jim Stockdale.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
