📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base.

📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.
Hegseth’s rough start: Pentagon chief faces protest at U.S. base abroad
The question isn’t why the defense secretary faced pushback at U.S. European Command headquarters; the question is whether he’ll see more protests soon.

Mitch McConnell is trying to wash his hands of all of his poor decisions made that led to Trump becoming president twice. No, just by voting “no” on these Trump nominees, who are clearly unqualified, you don’t get to escape all of your evil ways.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
