I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.

But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the verses about welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, not charging interest, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trump is gutting Christian ministries that serve the poor . . . while MAGA Christians cheer.

And if you object to the human suffering they cause, then they accuse you of displaying "toxic empathy."

Well, China HAS loaned us pandas…surely that explains the 15% 🙄
This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%.

And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more.

Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.
