The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

Thank you Will Bunch
The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Trump's attempt to militarize and federalize D.C. is an incredibly dangerous acceleration of his fascist takeover of the nation
AND
It's clear he's pursuing it to distract from the Epstein Files
His craven personal self-preservation is driving this escalation and that makes it all the scarier.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Today in history, 2015: Activist Bree Newsome scales the flagpole outside the South Carolina State House and removes the Confederate flag. She was arrested, but her civil disobedience soon led to the permanent removal of the flag from South Carolina’s capitol. /1
