U.security
Hegseth did what we all expected: risk U.S. security. This happens when an incompetent, psychotic leader purposefully staffs a cabinet with incompetent people so he can “look good” by comparison AND blame them for ensuing national tragedies. Their only “job” is praising Dear Leader. That’s it.

Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.
