As a veteran I find it appalling that a draft dodger con man and the worlds richest exploiter are doing this, but I am also ashamed that so many veterans couldn't see through the MAGA BS years ago. #education #veterans #disability apnews.com/article/trum...

If the WaPo article is accurate, then Pete Hegseth and everyone in the chain of command beneath him need to be brought up on charges immediately. These actions put all Americans at risk, especially service members and their families. The US is better than this.

I thought a large share of the people at J6 were FBI instigators, why were they pardoned? Obviously they were all MAGA and many of them were criminals beforehand: www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

In addition to stalling the release of the Epstein files, this ADP employment data likely explains why the government doesn't want to hurry the ending of the government shutdown. They don't want this info out there, but certainly they're tanking the economy. #trump #economy #shutdown #employment

This quote from the NYT article is particularly disturbing: "...before their formal discussions on Ukraine, the two leaders had a brief conversation isolated from any aides or journalists in the U.S. president’s limousine. What exactly did they talk about?"
