And Thom Tillis, up for reelection in 2026, was the key vote to confirm Hegseth along with Joni Ernst. Despite the fact that they knew he was unfit, they were afraid of Trump and put their political futures ahead of the country. Now they own every bit of this debacle.

Pete Hesgeth is not a Make-a-Wish kid. He doesn't get to run the Pentagon because he really really wants it.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

DOGE is a few different things. But one of the biggest is take control of the federal bureaucracy and hand out all the contracts to yours and your friends companies. Then privatize a bunch more stuff and gives those contracts to your cos and your friends' too. Smash and Grab, national edition.

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This is what these laws are ultimately about - buying and selling babies, and preying on desperate women and then discarding them.

The Trump administration wants this confrontation with the courts. No other way to read this. He’s trying to break government.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the official account of the White House - is it being run by a six year old?

My three-year-old was watching Newsmax when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why are the shitlibs defending the MS-13 terrorist the nice orange man sent away to keep us safe?" And when I told her "Because they hate freedom," she started crying.
