Reform UK’s candidate in the Sleaford Westholme, North Kesteven by-election Sandy Buchanan describes himself as a humble semi-retired electrical engineer.

Sounds less dodgy than a MLM marketer and life coach, doesn’t it?

The Pentagon says about 140 U.S. service members have been wounded so far. Do not let this become background noise. Trump started this war. The GOP is defending it. Say it out loud. DO NOT USE THE WORD CONGRESS. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

DoD has now banned press photographers from briefings on the war with Iran after Pete Hegseth’s staff deemed “unflattering” pictures that were published of the defense secretary from the March 2nd Pentagon briefing.

Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

While a U.S.-Israel war is ravaging the Middle East, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff are worried about “unflattering” photos.

Pentagon briefings are supposed to inform the public — not serve as photo-ops.

$2 million on Alaskan king crab.

$6.9 million on lobster tail.

$26,000 on sushi preparation tables.

$21,750 for a custom handmade Japanese flute.

$3,160 on stickers with children's characters.

This is how the Pentagon decided to waste your taxpayer dollars.

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him?

Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.

And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Priorities.
