Here we have troops in LA sleeping on concrete floors with no food, no water, and no logistics. I know SecDef Hegseth wants to encourage "warrior culture", because warriors win fights... and nerdy things like logistics are "woke". 1/2

Share this with the Trump voters you know. And inform them that they made this possible, and they will not be forgiven for it.

This is an actual image posted by the White House social media account for "May the Fourth" that came with a whole bunch of stupid loose Star Wars themes shaped to his bigoted agenda.
But can any actual Star Wars fans tell me what is wrong with this picture?

The back and forth between Judge Ana Reyes and DOJ attorney Jason Lynch in the transgender military ban hearing.
To say that this went bad for the DOJ would be an understatement.
To say that this went bad for the DOJ would be an understatement.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity. People who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses "animus". Does that express animus?
DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional–
REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the US affecting thousands of people to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus?
DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you.
REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military. We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the US dealing with a group of people serving their country, calling them liars.
(Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ji3s7cruzualgva7xhs6dpia/bafkreiara7msrpv3h7owwxfiomqzgs7i2gvi3fejysxa7fpsko45twxaii@jpeg)

Dear @cnn.com why are you still employing Scott Jennings but Jim Acosta is leaving? Have you decided to just give up on the truth and just want to cover everything with a veneer of bullshit.
I'm ashamed that I used to work with y'all.
