Raging at Media, Pete Hegseth Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud He wants β€œpatriotic” coverage of the Iran War. He doesn’t understand: in a democracy, coverage that asks difficult questions of the government is itself β€œpatriotic.”

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

We put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the military and he’s confessing to war crimes from the Pentagon podium.

When we restore democracy, we need to put the people who committed crimes in prison.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

YOU WILL NEED A $160 PASSPORT TO VOTE IF TRUMP'S BIG FUGLY SAVE AMERICA ACT PASSES!

It's a poll tax!

In America, you shouldn't have to pay $160 in order to vote!

ALSO, obtaining a passport CAN TAKE MONTHS!

Block the Paramount/WBD Media Monopoly β­‘ 5 Calls Paramount CEO David Ellison and his father, billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison, are Trump allies and major donors who are on track to control …

This unprecedented media consolidation will disrupt the TV & film industry and threaten our free speech and free press. A family of billionaires with a political agenda should not control most of our news and entertainment sources.

The 5 Big β€˜Known Unknowns’ of Donald Trump’s New War With Iran The all-out air assault on the Islamic Republic might be the biggest gamble of the president’s career.

Trump’s own business interests are now coming under fire from Iran. It’s likely the bulk of the Trump wealth is now tied to one Middle Eastern royal family or anotherβ€”Qatar, UAE, Saudi, etc.

So: How will he balance what’s good for the US vs. his business partners?

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran:

β€œRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

A few weeks ago, I posted about Hanne Engan a woman with diabetes who almost died of neglect & mistreatment while being wrongly detained in one of Trump's ICE torture concentration camps.

This isn't a one off. Dozens of people have died. People are being tortured, even babies!

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.
