Now, the states rights crowd is all for federal power.
This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy.

This is the GOP way.

The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it.

I was fortunate this evening to attend a revival led by the amazing Nadia Bolzano-Weber. She is truly a spiritual leader for our times. Love our neighbor - whether or not we agree. That is what we are called to do. I’ll try.

I oppose the SAVE Act, a bill where if you have changed your name or don't have a passport you may be turned away from voting. It makes it harder for the 80% of married women who have changed their name, and the 60% of Michiganders who don't have a passport to vote. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLXC...

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

I just don’t get Hegseth’s argument, and I have never served. It doesn’t seem that complicated to me.
Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat.

“If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

The Atlantic and @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social are committing journalism today.

They have a vetted mega-scoop. They handled it responsibly.

The WH and Admin lied about it.

The Atlantic called their bluff.

The material released just now is even more damning for the Trump team.

This is ridiculous that there’s a question about severity of this leak.
The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite.

I’m guessing they thought, “It’s encrypted so it’s secure.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.

I've worked at the White House for both Democrat and Republican Presidents and I've never seen this kind of mishandling of classified info. It's sloppy at best and puts the military involved in these sensitive operations at risk.

Let me explain why. 🧵

Just 10 days ago, Tulsi Gabbard said: “Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.”

That was before The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg revealed he was added to a group chat of top national security officials—including Gabbard.
