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'.

Rohrabacher —who was Erik Prince’s mentor pre-Blackwater, btw— also helped Musk get into NASA. And his wife worked on Russia-supporting RFK Jr’s spoiler campaign in 2024…the one with a Russian stock photo on the website…

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Ninth Circuit holds against the administration’s effort to force CA to set aside votes that the feds have determined –whatever the hell that means –might have been cast by ineligible voters. Very important decision and would have been disaster to go the other way, as 1 judge voted in dissent.

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.
