Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

You can hear her head hit the floor. Utah deputies slammed data center protester Aspen Azalea to the ground after a public meeting. She says she suffered a concussion. A freaking concussion. After a public meeting. Protest tonight. Info in thread. More fascism that we need to get loud about.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal β€” but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. β€œThe US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
