Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

Hegseth to the Navy: "Your diversity is not your strength"

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

this entire opinion is really remarkable, and Judge Young calls it exactly like it is when it comes to ICE hiding behind masks. We must not tolerate such an insidious assault on who we aspire to be as a nation.

BREAKING: Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, delivers the most scathing legal rebuke of the Trump era, ruling that Trump and his cabinet illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation to "strike fear" into First Amendment protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Captive audience at Quantico.
Clearly doing one of his famous WEAVE speeches. 🫩😵‍💫😣😔

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Period. Full stop.

Oregon Sues Trump to Stop ‘Unlawful’ Portland Troop Deployment Read more here.

BREAKING: Oregon & Portland just sued President Trump to block his order sending federal troops into the city.

The plaintiffs call the deployment “patently unlawful” and say it violates the U.S. Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act.

So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down.

I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

@karenwalrond.bsky.social Dabbling!

SCHUMER: “I hope and pray Trump will sit down with us.”

BASH: “And if he doesn’t Dems will vote no?”

@schumer.senate.gov : *suddenly seems to lose his hearing*

He “hopes and prays”, y’all. 🤔
Hard to watch.

Truth Social post in which Trump addresses Pam Bondi and says she needs to immediately prosecute his political enemies

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes.

That’s what this is.

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell.

95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Only 58 voted no.

38 voted present.

Describe a single historical precedent for defeating authoritarians by being nicer to them.

It is very funny that people think their neighborhood Catholic priest has had their brain melted by online bullshit as much as they have.

👀 this thread…

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

Fox says Gavin Newsom needs to stop with "the Twitter thing" and that he is making a fool of himself with his unserious all-caps posts

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
