Pete Hegseth is a security risk

O.M.G.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Difference?

Imagine that: a drunk Fox entertainment host can't run the largest agency in the world. It's a real shocker. www.mediaite.com/politics/the...

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

🚨 Russian forces struck Sumy on Good Friday with a drone, hitting a confectionery workshop making Easter cakes, killing one person and injuring another. (1/2)

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

BREAKING: Senator Van Hollen just met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvadore. "I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return."

Holocaust survivor confronts Trump’s ICE Director. “History is NOT on your side!”

It’s time, isn’t it?! 👇 Tax. The. Rich. Already. 😎✨

It’s not too late. Not yet. But it will be very soon, so Congress, you MUST summon up all your collective courage and ACT NOW TO SAVE OUR BELOVED COUNTRY. Your citizenry is begging you. Please.

What is your opinion of this guy, right here…👇 Be honest, and don’t hold back. Enjoy. 😎✨

The law found him guilty 34 times. Then, instead of enforcing the law with genuine sentencing, they let him walk, dismissed the other charges, let him run for President despite the felony convictions. He steals the election and we all get to tumble down the rabbit hole of fascism. WTAF America?

Here's the alleged Florida State University school shooter, Phoenix Ikner, wearing a MAGA hat. Why does MAGA keep trying to gaslight everyone?

Stupid much?! 👇

We need more members of Congress with the courage shown by Dr. Fauci during the early days of the pandemic 👇 #ResistTrump

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Fascism is here. Due process is dead. The Supreme Court is a hollow husk.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.
