BREAKING: The Pentagon is sending thousands of Marines to the Middle East. The same strategy used with the first wave of Marines sent to Vietnam.

You can bet your mortgage that Barron Trump isn't in that unit.

Trump is launching a ground invasion to prevent accountability for the Epstein files.

Protect Freedom of the Press: Co-Sponsor the Whistleblower Protection Act For too long, the government has used the Espionage Act to silence whistleblowers and journalists. Exposing government misconduct shouldn't be a crime. Neither should reporting. Take action now.

Journalism isn't a crime — it's protected by the First Amendment and it's essential to holding our leaders accountable.

Tell your congressperson to protect press freedom.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Attorney General Bondi thinks she can play hide-and-go-seek with the Epstein Files, but the law is clear and mandatory.

She must release the Files in their entirety so we can end this massive coverup and elite protection for predators.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

They are now refusing to state the number of American casualties in the Iran war. When regimes do this, it is a HUGE RED FLAG.

The White House turning war and death into content mimicking video games is a moral collapse, not a messaging strategy. War is not a game!

EPIC FAIL

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen referencing cuts to food assistance for hungry children, quoting a report claiming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth oversaw $93 billion in Pentagon spending in one month, including $2 million on Alaskan king crab. The image shows Hegseth speaking and a photo of king crab legs with sauce.

I was told the GOP cares about fraud, waste and abuse.

Trump continues to threaten to cut off trade with Spain to “punish” them.

But the U.S. runs a $4.8 billion trade SURPLUS with Spain. We are winning that deal. And Spain is in the EU, so you can’t just target Spain alone.

This isn’t America First, it’s America Confused.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.

That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.

Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?
