Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

I can't believe it took blowing up 21 boats and killing 83 people in international waters for Congress to think, "hmm, MAYBE war crimes are being committed here."

That Pentagon *press corps* performance with Matt Gaetz and Laura Loomer among those asking questions feels like a pretty good indicator of how far over the cliff we are. Worth checking out. 🇺🇸

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.

Reproductive rights was one of the Biden Administration’s signature policies. And Roe v Wade had been law for almost 50 years. The Supreme Court “interfered” with it.

The Epstein files being unsealed right now are controlled by the courts, not the DOJ meaning an investigation can’t actually stop a judge from releasing records. But it can shift the narrative, muddy the waters, and frame future revelations as “ tainted by politics” or “part of an ongoing probe.”
