Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.
He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Adam Kinzinger on Substack today regarding the Signal war plans fiasco:
"Let's be clear: the use of the Signal messaging app for high-level national security discussions is a direct violation of federal law and White House policy... This was not negligence—it was intentional."

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.”
Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Has anyone stopped to compute the total cost in terms of time and money that is being expended to fight Trump and Musk's chaos storm? Think how much more productively these resources could be used for positive ends if they weren't so needed to try and stave off all the current hatred and craziness.
