And this is being institutionalized at the top now. Pete Hegseth is a white Christian nationalist. He hates diversity, is deeply anti-LGBTQ, and has his own poor track record with women.

Hegseth, himself the subject of a 2017 rape allegation, craves an army of muscular Spartans with hairless, rippling bodies.

"The inability of the media to report things honestly means not only are Ukrainians deceived, but all of Europe is as well."
Hi All, Just sent out my free weekend update. Big Story (which should be no surprise) Trump sandbagged Ukraine again, lied about possibly helping the Ukrainians then pivoted to work with Putin. Can we end this charade?
