In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

First, Donald Trump launches a memecoin, netting himself billions. Next, his family gets in on the scheme. Now his billionaire buddies are getting even richer too. The most brazen corruption imaginable. x.com/StevenTDenni...

I have just finished The Dawn Of Everything and I highly recommend it if you're interested in the structure of society or how we look at history. It's a commitment (525 pages and reasonably dense) but it's eye-opening. And gives you hope for the future - there are other ways of doing things.

Hegseth needs to be fired. The intel he shared via Signal, including to his wife, was sent to him on a secure channel. He knowingly exposed our pilots to unnecessary danger with his show boat antics.

Trump minimizing record-breaking CO2 levels is dangerous & counterproductive—but not surprising given his corrupt bargain with big polluters. Ignoring evidence of climate change & decapitating NOAA doesn’t make it go away—it COSTS MORE & makes us LESS SAFE. We will fight this.

Trump is once again speaking on behalf of Putin, blaming Zelensky and not Putin for his inability to resolve the conflict. He doesn't care about the people of Ukraine or their sovereignty. He just wants to get credit for ending the war.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP or an evil, incurious idiot for a president & we still funded cancer research? Yeah, that was like three months ago.

OMG. Must-watch🔥 The brilliant @jimmykimmel.com eviscerates Hegseth, saying: "The Defense Secretary is defenseless—you leak so much, you should be wearing Depends to work." Hegseth desperately tries to justify his incompetence, but he is circling the drain and knows it. Resign, Leaky-Pete!
