Surprise: Under Hauge-seth and Rumplethinskin, you can lose your job in the military by honestly saying that Russia is a threat.
NYT: Hegseth demanded the resignation of the commander of U.S. forces in Europe and NATO, General Christopher Cavoli, who stated in a declaration submitted to the Senate committee in April that Russia poses a "chronic" and "growing" threat

Q: Did Trump tell MTG the Epstein Victims didn't "merit the honor" of meeting him in the Oval?
A: According to a report he did say that.

Releasing a 255-page transcript on New Year’s Eve isn’t transparency, it’s an attempt to bury accountability while people are distracted. Read it. Share it. Text it to your family, friends, and neighbors. Truth doesn’t disappear just because powerful people want it buried.

The House Judiciary Committee just released — on New Year's Eve — the 255-page transcript of Jack Smith's closed door deposition.
House Republicans continue their attempts to bury Smith's testimony.
