I had to look up “the fog of war.” Here’s the meaning (AI generated): “a military term for the uncertainty, confusion, and lack of clarity soldiers and commanders face in battle due to incomplete information, enemy deception, chaos, and friction.”

Trump is apparently okay with illegal immigration, drug trafficking, violence, and terrorism as long as it's he and his buddies doing it and he can profit from it.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

This is not surprising. We have certainly seen a lot of fake stuff, but to use it this way is beyond the pale. The result is no one believes anything anymore. Dangerous.
DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.
DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
