This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.

Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.

Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

See how this works?

“DHS spokesperson confirms to Scripps that Sec Noem had a large amount of cash on her that was stolen because her entire family was in town and she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts.”

Who withdraws 3 grand in cash for this?

If you think the J6 defendants didn’t get due process you should take that up with the high level DoJ officials in your administration that represented them.

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time

El Salvador’s President Proposes Deal That Would Free Deported Venezuelans President Nayib Bukele said he would free the Venezuelans that the U.S. deported to El Salvador if Venezuela released the same number of prisoners.

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

"Bring a burner phone" is dangerously weak advice.

If ICE/cops/border guards can't find information about you on your phone... They will still arrest you and possibly torture you. Even if you are 100% law abiding.
