Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.

Trump incoherently insists Operation Midnight Hammer "obliterated Iran's nuclear potential" (then why are we at war with them now?)

Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him?

Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.

Trump ‘will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress — pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraine’s weapons.

Who has the cards now?

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”
