I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
Not really breaking any news here.

I second this!
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Nothing to see here—just the Trump administration officials who'd oversee an invocation of the Insurrection Act and subsequent martial law declarations moving into military-base housing.
Miller, Bondi, Rubio, Hegseth, the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Navy...
Pay no attention to this.
If/when a deMAGAfication of US ever occurs it must begin with the Roberts Court without which none of this would be possible
What are Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Miller, Dhillon, Noem, et al going to do when they’re out of office & no longer have security detail & military housing?
Remember Trump cut security for Pompeo, Harris, many others?
Trump admin & DOGE don’t deserve free security once they’re out!
Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.
Podcast! Justin Hendrix spoke to Electronic Frontier Foundation executive director Cindy Cohn. Her new book, Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance, weaves her journey with the legal battles she's fought on behalf of whistleblowers, researchers, and everyday people.
Kenneth Starr, who died in 2022, “appears to have been Epstein’s most substantive evangelical relationship. He represented Epstein in the 2000s, defending him against rape and sex trafficking charges in Florida. He helped Epstein get a plea deal that kept him out of prison.”
Since Trump’s election:
🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats
🔴 Republicans have flipped 0
US soldiers loading bombs onto their aircraft at bases in England.
The UK is at war with Iran helping commit more War Crimes.
We need a Government like Spain that is strong enough to say no to Donald Trump.
All of this to say, please don't write off or downplay Trump's religious talk about himself.
Of all the terrible & degraded things about his second term thus far, it is truly one of the things that scares me the most.
Look back thru history: megalomaniacs with messiah complexes create horrors. 8/

This. The “Save America Act” aims to nationalize voter purges using DHS’s centralized “SAVE” voter purge system, which is already plagued by security & accuracy systems, while simultaneously making it difficult for voters to re-register if they are wrongly purged, as Rs have a habit of doing. 1/

I’m so glad the Democrats are finally messaging this core aspect of the abhorrent “Save America Act.” 1/ bsky.app/profile/jenn...
Schumer on the SAVE America Act: "It is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in an algorithm but together by DOGE and Musk -- it's an outrage"
COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer
*plays Marshall a clip of him saying "I think it will take years for Iran to restart their nuclear program"*
SEN. MARSHALL: Look, I was wrong. I believe we obliterated those nuclear facilities, but now they're restarting programs elsewhere
Sen. Roger Marshall: "I think lifting the oil sanctions on India buying Russian oil I think that's doing something good for America right now"
Sen. Roger Marshall on high gas prices: "Freedom is not free. Americans are gonna have to make some sacrifices."
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: 60% of Americans have concerns about election integrity
COLLINS: That's because the president spent eight years telling them the election was stolen
MARSHALL: You give the president too much credit
COLLINS: Even the Heritage Foundation said they only found 100 instances of non-citizen voter fraud since 2000. That's out of 1.5 billion ballots.
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: So, what are you afraid of? What are Democrats afraid of?
This is an interesting piece about how the “Church Too” movement—exposing sex abuse by evangelical leaders—was inspired by the “Me Too” movement & overlapped in time with revelations about Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking operation. #BiblicalPatriarchy #ChurchToo … 1/
Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
