These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

but seashells!

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

"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...

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

The Keystone pipeline system, which carries crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was shut down on Tuesday because of a leak that spilled an estimated 3,500 barrels of oil in southeastern North Dakota, government and company officials said.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

This is a huge loss for FDA regulatory science. Peter Marks led FDA CBER during COVID vax clinical development. Rigorous standards for safety/efficacy were met before emergency use authorization. Peter Marks was one of the COVID heroes while RFK Jr was spreading disinformation. wapo.st/4hQn8fm

merit is back baby

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

The kind of person that kills dogs.

What are the odds? Pete Hegseth’s little brother Phil just so happened to land a cushy gig at the Pentagon! This job has allowed him to hang out with UFC fighters, take a trip to Guantanamo, and get a seat on the Pentagon’s 747 aircraft. #NepoBro apnews.com/article/hegs...

US population 340,100,000 Votes for 🍊77,300,000. That means 262,700,000 Americans did not cast a vote for 🍊, yet are being abused by him. Let that sink in. Get everyone you know to join your local Democratic organization, hit them with the numbers. Facts don’t lie

INDIANA VOTER: “Will you demand the resignation of Pete Hegseth?” *Crowd cheers wildly* Rep. Spartz (R) : “No.” *Crowd boos wildly for a full minute*

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Where did Hegseth get the info he dropped into the Signal chat? Did he copy/paste it from another chat? “The Vice President that I worked for wouldn’t even use AirPods because she understood the national security threat. These people—it’s amateur hour at the OK corral.” @symonedsanders.bsky.social

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

NEW: The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has DENIED the trump administration's bid to stay Judge Boasberg's TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case. The ruling is 2-1, with the Trump judge dissenting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

Hegseth has no honor.

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
