Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

The taste of power, fear of change, and - as much as you don't want to hear it - a Democratic Party steered in public too much by college-educated activists who cannot accept that America is a center-right country, which made winning easier than it should have been for the GOP.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

Holy shit. The government is conceding it willl pay some amount of fees to the Broadview Six. They are DESPERATE to stop further inquiry into the case. Never heard of such a thing.
New filings from the "Broadview Six" defense attorneys tonight. The first reveals the feds decided to "not contest that defendants are entitled to their legal fees," though they have "not yet committed to the amount of legal fees" they will pay. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/0c/07/4afee6...

🔥 SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq war, it’s a war built on lies. The ‘America first’ President who said he would end foreign wars, now he says all we can afford is war.”

Yes. Barring him forever is the way to go. Also: putting him on trial for his obvious corruption is the way to go. Also: if (as is likely) fair trials find him guilty, him rotting in jail is the way to go.
Making this proposal even more questionable is that it is to apply retroactively, thus barring former PM Viktor Orbán from ever returning to the seat. Of course, Orbán won his victories in elections that were free but not fair. But is barring him forever the way to go? 3/

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.
A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

Mike Lawler, staring his constituents directly in the eye, might as well be yelling: YOU DIDN’T EVEN SAY “THANK YOU!”
FOX NEWS: Americans are still feeling economic pain. The president is not getting good approval ratings right now. How do you and he fix that before November? MIKE LAWLER: Look, there are some really positive indicators. The stock market continues to hit record highs.

It is straight up “major fraud against the United States” under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1031 www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...
BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
