Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing

Especially any veterans?

Shame on all those who stay silent

Trump doesn't believe anything; the things that come out of his mouth are not anchored in a single discernible principle. Good for Mamdani for making constructive use of the total vacuum in Trump's brain.
🚨 👇🏽One low key brilliant savage underappreciated move was @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social turning Trump into an FDR fan and making him appreciate the New Deal and how government helping people is good actually

The President of the United States is openly calling for the execution of Democratic Members of Congress.

Where is the condemnation from Republicans over this blatant call for political violence?

The GOP is a national embarrassment.
Most of his tweets sound like he’s drunk while he’s writing them so no surprises here.

So pathetic.
GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I am sad to say that I find myself wondering if the Trump/GOP effort to destroy his life's work had anything to do with his death.
🇺🇸 David Bathrick spent decades inside USAID fighting for agriculture. His death at 84 hits harder now that the agency he served has been dismantled and the mission he carried is slipping out of public view.

Once again, any U.S. attack on Venezuela would be patently illegal.
Breaking news: High-level discussions over whether to attack Venezuela — and how — have been underway for days.

It remains unclear if President Trump has decided to pursue such an escalation.

Panama just made its largest maritime cocaine seizure since 2008: 13.5 tons. Authorities arrested 10 people.

Since they are _alive_ and not _barbarically blown out of the water_, these 10 people are all potential sources of intelligence to dismantle criminal networks.
