Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim.

Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?

Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

There are so many regular people I know who never spoke up until the last few weeks. The silent majority is actually raising their voices and it’s in opposition to what is happening.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it.

Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.
JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Flood this! DOGE wants to hire people. I suggest you overload their system with fake applications. (This is how striking Kelloggs workers crashed a scab website, btw.) join.doge.gov

I imagine Franco, Hitler & Disney supervillains would make good applicants.

Spread the word.

I would just like to say this was the easiest thing to see from a mile away. Also, the protest voters actually just wanted to see America fall.

We got so used to hearing about the Heritage Foundation we aren’t even questioning why we are allowing them to just walk in and take over.
We didn’t elect them to jack shit.

We shouldn’t accept a system that won’t help anyone. This is wrong.
A horrific story: A 22-year-old died from an asthma attack after his inhaler jumped from $66 to $539—out of reach when his insurance, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, stopped covering it. He struggled to breathe for five days before collapsing.

The cruelty of our healthcare system knows no bounds.

The man wasn’t given a notice before the insurance company dropped the medication, the lawsuit says.

The biggest act of civil disobedience for women would be to live their lives for themselves, amassing the greatest amount of wealth they can so they would be out of the clutches of the patriarchy. Because this country hates women so why are we providing it anything more than our tax dollars?

Here's my own article about it from 2020. It was clear to me then, but clearer still today, that transformation to meet this moment requires bottom-up transformation that looks like fighting racism and misogyny, which includes anti-trans bigotry, and learning to work together toward common goals
