4 USC 8(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.

Friday, the Trump administration began stalling IEEPA tariff refunds in court. In a new @cato.org blog post, we review US regs on customs duty refunds and find that IEEPA refund delays will cost taxpayers ~$700M/month in additional interest payments owed to importers: www.cato.org/blog/tariff-...

It’s a violation of the Flag Code, actually. Federal law.

The Pentagon briefings are basically Hegseth doing a bad Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry skit while Dan Caine politely refuses to answer anything.

Just want to reiterate that the former co-host of the weekend version of Fox News' morning talk show is now the man in charge of our national defense and leading this war.

Secretary Hegseth never misses an opportunity to act disgracefully.

To put this in context: Consistently, about 13 percent of Americans believe in Bigfoot. So war with Iran polls slightly better than Bigfoot.

Running your war from a private club for millionaires β€” ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner β€” is a choice.

The government illegally took your money.

They won’t give it back.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
