Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense.
Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.”
Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America.
They're not "pro-life."
They're pro controlling women's bodies.

If Trump could pardon Charles Kushner and then appoint him Ambassador to France. Joe Biden most certainly should have pardoned Hunter.

Absolutely the right decision by President Biden to pardon his son Hunter. This politically driven prosecution by this group of heinous individuals solely focused on hurting this family has gone on long enough.

Just a reminder that in 2020, Dr. Oz suggested that opening schools during COVID would "only cost us 2-3% in terms of total mortality," and that "any life is a life lost but... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

During a private speech, Trump told Speaker Mike Johnson he is going to let a lot of migrants into the country:
“We’re going to bring back the strongest borders in the world, and we’re going to let a lot of people come in. Mike, we’re going to let a lot of people come in…”
MAGA won’t like this.

Ron makes a great point: if you feel you can't report Trump critically now because you are too afraid, it is best you resign. You are compromised. Now is the time where reporters must be unapologetic. Do not let Trump scare you into submission. Do not obey in advance.
If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?

If Elon Musk is serious about "government efficiency," there is only one place to start: THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
About half of the federal discretionary budget — the spending that Congress approves each year — is spent on defense
And the DoD just failed its audit FOR THE SEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW

This absolutely needs to happen so the American people have all the facts
Biden should invoke the MOU between DOJ and his office, as well as the Presidential Transition Act, to investigate thoseTrump says he wants to put in office. The MOU triggers background investigations of nominees “at the request of the [sitting] president.”
