So Trump was lying about giving a bonus to American military members. This money was allocated by Congress for soldiers' housing subsidies. I'm sure this will be duly reported by all media outlets who broadcasted his lies nationally.
It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.
Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Earlier this year, JD Vance told us that Donald Trump was “the most pro-family, most pro-life American president of our lifetimes.” Yeah, about that. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Yl0Tqn

I heard the words "big fella" the second I turned on CBS and knew immediately who was the 🏀 analyst. I know he's supposed to be some kind of national treasure, but I can't stand him.

Hopefully I'm not the only one disgusted by this. And that's kind of a weak word for what I'm feeling.

I didn't think SNAP be used at fast food restaurants now. They can't be used for hot foods at the grocery store, like a rotisserie chicken, so how can they be used at fast food places?
Joni Ernst: "I have a McSCUSE ME Act which would disallow those SNAP benefits being used at fast food restaurants. We want to make sure that those hungry families, those food insecure families actually are receiving benefits, but we want them to really use those dollars on nutrient-rich foods."

The most consequential topic in the world is the simple question: Is the President mentally fit to serve?

Demented. Zero military bearing whatsoever. Infantile.
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.
