Drunkard rapist Pete Hegseth blew through $93B in one month at DOD on things like Alaskan King Crab, Cable TV, furniture, fruit baskets, ribeye steaks and more.

These criminals are stealing the same money that republicans claim doesn’t exist for universal healthcare.

A Trump nominee agreed that you could β€œabort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”

This is who Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Senate Republicans want to put in lifetime judgeships.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Watching Bloomberg this morning and all the analyst are like "This is going to be a short war."

Really???

Because Hegseth says he plans on bringing about the Second Coming of Christ and that this is a Holy War.

I don't know who sounds more dillusional?

If Trump relied on Jared Kushner’s opinion that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb when making his decision to go to war like he claims, that totally makes sense because Kushner is the most reliable source for intel on Iran nuke capabilities.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Oil prices fall after Energy Secretary claims U.S. Navy escort of tanker in since-deleted post on X The International Energy Agency will hold an extraodrinary meeting on Tuesday to discuss a possible release of emergency stockpiles.

We've got the U.S. government just outright lying about escorting an oil tanker through Hormuz but the market responding positively anyway.

When this all hits, it's gonna hit so much harder because we're totally unprepared.

A whistleblower allegation that sensitive Social Security data may have been taken on a thumb drive is exactly the nightmare experts warned about. When access to millions of Americans’ personal records is treated casually, the real issue is not surpriseβ€”it is accountability.
