This needs to be shared and repeated everywhere. Even all the low info Americans should be aware that Trump is calling their financial struggles "a hoax."
That’s Trump’s message to millions of struggling families. Your suffering isn't real. It's a hoax, just like the Epstein files!

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

Donald Trump wants to be recognized as a peacemaker.
His deputies obliged today by putting his name on the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace, an agency that DOGE tried to kill.
The new name — the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace — "adds insult to injury," said a lawyer for USIP staff.

This whole administration is about performing for the right wing extremists and Nazis on X. Hegseth cares more about the likes and the outrage generated by his post than he does about the law and certainly more than the men he ordered killed.
Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.

Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.
Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.
