Trump surrounds himself with white nationalists, fraudsters, grifters, and sex abusers. Some are all four, including him.

Now Hegseth wants to decide where troops can take college classes in their off-duty time. I’m glad I was able to use this program while on active duty to go to the accredited school of my choice.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Q: You said the Iranian nuclear sites have been 'totally obliterated.' What's left to go after?
TRUMP: You could get whatever the dust is down there. If we do it, that's really the least of we mission. But we'd probably grab whatever is left.

This is what Kristi Noem said when this incident happened: “What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.”

Partisan political speeches have no place on military bases to active duty troops. These soldiers have no choice - they are ordered to be there. No politician should ever make a speech like this to troops. The continued silence on this issue by Republicans is a disgrace. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump, speaking to troops in North Carolina, is now attacking ex-governor and Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper as a "disaster" who was culpable for a woman getting her "throat slit"
(note the total silence from the crowd)

Unconfirmed political hack Corey Lewandowski gets to make policy decisions at a massive federal agency as well as hiring and firing key personnel because he’s having an affair with Kristi Noem. Allegedly, since they continue to deny it even though everyone knows it.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.
In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

What is his title?
What is his job?
What is his official position in the US government?
If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?
