I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

By the way…note that every news story is a drawing by Donald Trump, and NOT the letter from Ron Wyden to Scott Bessent…that names names and companies.
The “news”…isn’t news. It’s a side show…that sells commercials.

No notes. Not one word is exaggerated.
In the past 24 hours, Trump’s threatened Elon Musk, Thomas Massie, Japan, a judge in Israel, the CEO of AT&T, Jerome Powell, Canada, Thom Tillis, a Forbes reporter, Harvard, & migrants with being eaten by Burmese pythons in the Everglades, while releasing a new line of colognes.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Every single Democratic senator foolishly and naively voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Trump’s Secretary of State. Every single one. Some of us said at the time it was a mistake and they would come to regret it. It only took a few weeks (!)

Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it.
Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone.
There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO.
Madness.

These 15 Democratic Senators voted to confirm Scott Bessent to the Treasury, who then handed the entire payment system to Elon Musk. The idea that A SINGLE Trump confirmation is getting through while Americans are losing their lives and livelihoods under this coup is unforgivable.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.
