So this morning I received an email from Medicare with the caption saying β€œYour mental health matters”. And then you open it up and this charlatan’s face is on it. I have an idea. πŸ’‘How about we prosecute, impeach, convict, and remove all these criminals then I think my mental health will improve.

What to Know About Admiral Named by Hegseth in Boat Strike Controversy β€œI stand by him and the combat decisions he has made,” the Secretary of Defense said, as he has come under scrutiny for a potentially illegal command.

Hegseth's response to a potential war crimes scandal is to praise Admiral Mitch Bradley as a hero while throwing him under the bus to avoid the backlash.

Every officer watching has learned to expect zero loyalty and accountability from the Secretary of Defense when the heat turns up.

The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

Trump says he is striking boats off Venezuela to stop drugs, mostly cocaine per reports.

Yet he just pardoned the Honduran ex-president who helped push more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S., took a $1 million bribe from El Chapo and bragged he would β€œstuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”

MAGA influencer Laura Loomer gets credentials and desk at Pentagon after media purge Online commentators mocked the new crop of Pentagon reporters for being unable to accurately report which desks they were using

FFS!

Laura Loomer, a far-right MAGA nutter known for spreading conspiracy theories, has credentials/workspace in the Pentagon but not WSJ, WaPo, etc!

But that's not stopping
legacy media from exposing what appear to be Trump Hegseth regime's war crimes

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

So much for the first and fourth Amendments. This strikes at the heart of my oath, and my oath is forever.

I will dissent. I will resist.

I will honor my oath of service. I fought for 40 years so people would not see this on the streets of America.

What a wicked woman - I mean REALLY evil. To WANT to see people die in pain, people who have not been found guilty of any crime, the innocent with the guilty. She is the soul of MAGA - in all its cruelty and viciousness. Come on America, you were so much better than this. how did you sink so low?

Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Hold him and everyone involved accountable.

The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Stand with survivors, not predators & accomplices.

Stephen Miller Would Kill His Parents Before He Was Born

"If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out."

Beset by violent anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, Miller's ancestors migrated to America in 1903.
