“Lethal kinetic strike”? You spelled “murder” wrong. Hegseth should be charged in abstentia with war crimes.

Marisa does a heroic job but I do find it bananas that our entire media environment has maybe a couple dozen reporters and media orgs who actually ask the questions about how stuff works or doesn't work. The rest is noise/gossip.
"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process."

My latest:
FEMA response to deadly Texas floods delayed & deficient with Noem in charge
Staffers sound the alarm.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith.

True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

The Worst Generation
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Greatest Generation, which beat back authoritarianism around the globe. But today's Republican Party has made a mockery of that legacy.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin: "In the United States, we have a system of checks and balances and separations of power for damn good reasons. The President's administration arresting a sitting judge is a gravely serious and drastic move, and it threatens to breach those very separations of power."
FLAG: Kash Patel says the FBI has arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with obstructing an immigration operation.

It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers.

Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investors—and it’s hardly even a news story.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.

The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.

What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.
