I just want to thank the democratic senators on the armed services committee who stood up and fought, despite the odds, for the American people today.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.”

Rumors that Russia is abandoning Tartus.
Tartus is their only naval base in the Mediterranean.
It’s their primary logistical hub for force projection into Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe
This will limit their ability to resupply and repair, and slow down their troop deployment

Biden administration believes that it’s “increasingly likely” that Assad’s regime could fall within days.
We shouldn’t prop up Assad, but we have to be clear-eyed about the geopolitical implications of the regime falling - including securing his chemical weapons stockpiles.

Trump promised retribution. He relishes carnage. He’s fueled by grievance. He’s bent on dismantling the institutions that provide security and support the rule of law. He lives to please Vladimir Putin. He hates the media.He’s out of his mind. Of course he selected Kash Patel to run the FBI.

Not sure, but hopefully Hegseth bows out and only Gabbard is left to vote against.
I know RFK is dangerous, and he might flame out too, but the national security/justice nominations were and are the big three to worry about.

Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.
