Holding differing personal opinions is not dissent nor disloyalty. It’s already illegal to reveal unauthorized national security information. Hegseth will be paying for at least 5000 work hours with taxpayer money to polygraph people for no reason.

What a waste of time and resources.
Exclusive: The Pentagon plans to impose strict nondisclosure agreements and random polygraph testing for scores of people in its headquarters, including many top officials, escalating Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s war on leakers and internal dissent.

GOP Senate Leader John Thune said, “Well, vote to open up the government and that issue goes away, right? I mean, it's pretty straightforward.”

Ummm, that’s coercion. It’s highly unethical, and if it isn’t already illegal in this scenario, it should be.

🙄 Even a cursory look at the independent histories of autism and Tylenol shows zero correlation, let alone causation.

Even if there was some kind of correlation (which there isn’t), correlation does not equal causation.

This is just ridiculous opinions couched as (very bad) pseudoscience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is expected to announce new initiatives today examining potential links between acetaminophen and autism, as well as exploring the use of leucovorin, a lesser-known medication, as a potential treatment.

Since the killing of Charlie Kirk, the response on the left has been shock and horror. No one of prominence has justified the killing; hundreds, from Democratic leadership on down, have condemned political violence.

But below the unanimity is a subtler debate: how to think about Kirk's life.
