The Pentagon works for the people — not the other way around.
When the Secretary of Defense tries to limit what reporters can ask or print, that’s not “security.” It’s censorship.
The First Amendment doesn’t bend for power.

We knew who Trump was in 2020 — that’s why we voted for Biden and Harris. But you gave him every break, never held him accountable, and now here we are. Biden should explain why his administration went so easy on Trump. It might help make sense of this.

From the start, the wealthy built tools to keep the people in their place. Today they still own both parties. The real fight isn’t red vs. blue — it’s 80% vs. 20%. And once the middle class sees it, we’ll win every time.
