Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.
Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

The thing is that the war only has two directions. Either Russia wins or it disappears. Why am I so certain? Think about Russia losing, it's home front or armed forces starts to crack. What will happen to Russian society then? What glue of values or repression will keep it together then?
The only real solution of Europe's security challenge is the unconditional surrender and dissolution of the Russian Federation. Any other outcome will ensure continued conflict.

By invading Ukraine in 2014, Russia violated the Agreement on Friendship/Cooperation/Partnership 1997
The first major ceasefire agreement, signed on 5/9/2014 in Minsk, was broken within hours of being signed.
This prompted the second attempted truce, known as Minsk-2, but it was even shorter.

Bombing boats, when you don't know who or what is on board without stopping to check, and then order the survivors, holding on to the wreckage, killed is murder. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlue2026

A question reporters should (but never will) ask Trump or Hegseth:
“What disciplinary actions have been taken against the service members you claim exceeded orders and killed the two survivors?”

Beto’s election against Cruz (-200k votes) was VERY close; we were heartbroken.
He stepped down from the prez race long before the primary (no loss).
He lost to Abbott by 11 pts.
I was there for all three.
He’s registered voters throughout.
The narrative that Beto should disappear is unfair. 🙏🏽🖤

Page 1075 of the DOD's Law of War manual, under the section that talks about refusing illegal orders, directly uses the example that "firing upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

MAGA men are such weak frauds.
Guys who never shut up about protecting girls and women from harm immediately fold when called upon to step up and actually advocate for them, because to do so would reveal that they're passionately devoted to a rapist.

As I watch men on the Right arguing against the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, I am reminded again how weak they all are, what a pathetic joke MAGA manhood is as an idea.
