@atrupar.com: Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

“I can find people, but I also don’t want to put anyone at risk because there are people being deported even with proper documentation. Every time they come or leave it’s worrisome, and you don’t know if they’re going to make it back home. I would feel like it’s my fault.”

Add it to the tally.

Seems like we’re getting up to 20+ grand jury no true bills just from what I’ve seen. Absolutely remarkable.

I believe these are the first Chicagoland NTBs, which is significant because grand juries sit for a long time— we didn’t previously know that Chicago’s GJs were fed up with this stuff and now we do.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

Morning Digest: Janet Mills 'delights' Susan Collins with her praise for the senator's work But the term-limited governor says she's still considering a Senate bid

She praised the job Susan Collins is doing less than a month ago! Schumer is such a loser.

Janet Mills is 77, turning 78 at the end of this year. If she won in 2026, her first term in the Senate would end when she's 85 years old.

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has lobbied Mills to run for months..."

George Santos is not in prison "for lying about his past during a campaign," because that is not a crime. He is in prison for stealing money, committing fraud, and a litany of similar related offenses.

Nachmanoff's bio looks like a judge's should: private criminal defense for 6 years, public defender for 13 years, magistrate judge for 6 years, then federal judge.

As compared to Trump nominees, which are like "I'm 35, never had a real client or been in court, got paid to write anti-LGBTQ blogs."

Central witness undermines case against James Comey, prosecutors concluded: Sources Ex-FBI Director James Comey is set to be arraigned Wednesday, but prosecutors investigating him determined that a central witness would prove "problematic," sources say.

Prosecution of Comey looks headed to a dead end.

"Federal prosecutors ... determined that a central witness in their probe would ... likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury."

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

The Constitution did not foresee the position of presidential chief of staff, so it’s hard to see what legitimate constraints could prevent Stephen Miller from becoming an all-powerful dictator.

Was talking to someone from another state yesterday who couldn’t believe it but yes, Ohio law not only requires public school buses to transport kids to private schools, it actually *prioritizes* public bussing for private school students over public school students. Total insanity.

Columbus City Schools may have to stop bussing high school students entirely because Ohio law requires public school districts to prioritize bussing for charter and private school students - and the state is already fining Columbus more than $10 million/year for not complying enough

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Notice her non-answer.

This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.
