Remember Admiral Holsey? The WSJ says Holsey had concerns about the boat strikes long ago. He expressed his concerns. Hegseth “asked” him to step down.

Hegseth, at the very least politically…will not survive this thing. He will not.

It’s bigger than he OR Trump at this point.

"Last night, I spoke with CBS New York about the horrific ICE detention and separation of 6-year-old Astoria student Yuanxin from his father, Fei. This is just one example of why we must kick ICE out of New York by passing the New York for All Act, and why we must work to abolish this"

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

If you're in San Francisco, there's a pop-up market this Saturday at 1 Columbus Ave. A bunch of menswear guys, along with shop owners, are selling stuff from their private wardrobes. Some of my stuff will be there. Ticket prices are $30 for 12pm-1pm preview hour, then $5 after 1pm.

When trump is drowning in his own fails, he knows he can always fall back on his racist impulses to distract his base from his failing economy.

Telling a member of Congress "go back to your country" is ugly and inexcusable.

I hate him with the energy of a trillion suns.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Even though Trump is trying to bury it, real people feel what’s coming. We’re either already in a recession or staring straight at one.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

"Sec. Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen 'it was fake news - it didn't happen'. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

The way I've looked at it is, there has never been, and never will be, a bottom with Trump and his ilk.
There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”

But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ?

Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.
Trump calls Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) "garbage," says that Somalians don't belong in the U.S. because they "do nothing but complain... do nothing but bitch"
