As a man of faith, I find Pete Hegseth's twisting of Scripture abhorrent. Hegseth has been citing the Bible to justify Donald Trump's illegal war, but those very same scriptures say something quite different. Let's take a look. (link below)

Not to mention 26 USC sec. 7271 makes it a federal crime for the President to seek to end a tax audit or for the IRS to do so at the President's request. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/o...

Happy Passover! Wishing all that celebrate peace, love, joy, rejuvenation, and blessings to you and your family! Chag Pesach Sameach! ✡️💙😍

Sounds about right.

These are a few of the replies to the Sociopath in Chief’s horrendous Truth Social memorial post to Rob and Michele Reiner. He’s shedding followers every awful day for his deranged behavior. He can’t sustain this level of depravity much longer. We cannot let him.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war "We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

Thank You!!! #NOKINGS

Many people think of Medicare as a program for seniors, Medicaid as a program for the poor, both detached from the rest of the population. But changes for one have a ripple effect through all the rest. And these cuts will profoundly affect all Americans. https://trib.al/fF21ddz

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

We’re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Here’s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are “Files”?

This came up in my 7/4 memories. 💗 Pretty sure I owned every Calvin & Hobbes book growing up.

Oh, look! They're celebrating the Fourth of July in France as well.

I've never seen it so well put before.

Amazing how quickly the rhetoric of “personal choice” drops away once they’re in a position to impose their crackpottery on everyone.

From Febrary '25.

I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!! “How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?” www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Fact check: are US tariffs really bringing in $2bn a day as Trump claims?

The entire conversation is a disaster. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The Trump fever is breaking. Voters who once backed him are waking up to economic chaos, broken promises, and buyer’s remorse. Is this the beginning of the end? Read more adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Whoa. Trump says he didn’t sign order re the Alien Enemies Act. But it has his signature. White House quickly scrambles to say “of course “ Trump was referring to —get this—1798 act. Something clearly funky. Maybe they use an auto pen!😉 www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/p...

I’m Jewish and the son of Jewish refugees who immigrated to America, so some might accuse me of seeing antisemitism where it doesn’t exist. So it’s sadly reassuring to see that the great historian Timothy Snyder saw the Oval Office debacle the way I did: open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

So good. 👏👏

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

Embarrassing reporting from the Daily Mail. Canada announced this billion dollar border plan almost two months ago

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

It's no special insight. But it's important to step back and see that we are launching into a real trade war over literally nothing. Even if you want to claim this is abt immigration the Mexican govt made clear they're willing to go to quite draconian steps to relieve pressure on the ...
