He literally said *yesterday* that he was considering a “joint venture” to help Iran charge people for using the Strait. He said the day before that he didn’t care if they made a little money off of it. Someone give pawpaw his dementia meds.

Judge Anthony Napolitano on Newsmax: "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

While the administration has said it is cutting “woke programs” that “poison the minds of Americans", it actually funded fewer grants in every area of science and medicine. “They brought everything to a stop,” said Sarah Kobrin, a branch chief at the N.I.H.’s National Cancer Institute

Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment. But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Meiselas: Ask yourself: Why did Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House during his meeting w Dem leaders? Why, if he claims he brought in $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the shutdown? Why did MAGA Mike Johnson and Republicans cancel work Monday and Tuesday?

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The suspected Michigan shooter identified as Thomas Sanford, a US Marine veteran who served in Iraq from 2004-2008. He was white. He was not trans. He died at the scene. The media will spin everything but the pattern that's right in front of us. This country breaks veterans. It's beyond wrong.
