Trump said I was dumb and questioned my leadership today. I've spent 25 years in the military, commanded the space shuttle, and now I'm serving Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Happy to discuss leadership anytime, Mr. President. You know where to find me.

Feds block millions for 'Alligator Alcatraz,' 'Deportation Depot' over pending environmental review β€’ Florida Phoenix The federal government is withholding a $608 million grant to help pay for Florida's migrant lockups because a required environmental review still hasn't been completed, newly released records show.

There are so many things wrong with this. Why such a high price tag on a structure that isn’t permanent. They deserve nothing.
Why do all these idiots think it’s ok to wreck everything? Nature, animals, HUMANS?

US orders 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to Mideast after almost 2 weeks of war The American military has ordered 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East. That’s according to a U.S. official who spoke Friday to The Associated Press.

Mission creep and the Vietnam War through the eyes of those watching the Iran war. In Vietnam it started with just advisors, then a few thousand soldiers, then eventually 536,000+ U.S. troops. Around 58,000 U.S. soldiers died. The draft for the Vietnam War started soon after fighting escalated.

We've lost 13 Americans in less than two weeks of this war. These are sons, daughters, and parents. The American people deserve to know why our country rushed into another war without a strategy or a goal.

U.S. Recognition of a Commander’s Duty to Punish War Crimes This article explores the United States' recognition of the doctrine of command responsibility. The doctrine has been invoked by those alleging that President Trump’s pardons of U.S. personnel convict...

And as a fun related legal fact, the failure of a commander to punish war crimes by his subordinates is also a war crime under the doctrine of command responsibility.

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.

Judge blocks subpoenas against Fed Chair Jerome Powell citing 'essentially zero evidence' Powell said the subpoenas were related to his testimony before the Senate in June about the renovation of Federal Reserve office buildings.

Another massive, humiliating loss for Jeanine Pirro, Pam Bondi, the DoJ and Donald Trump.

A blistering decision here by Judge Boasberg that essentially accuses everyone involved of seeking a political prosecution.

Nebraska U.S. Senate race filled with alleged β€˜plants,’ campaigns say β€’ Nebraska Examiner Ricketts and Osborn deny any involvement with party primary candidates. They are currently in a heated campaign.

First, Sen. Pete Ricketts is so afraid of losing to non-partisan union leader Dan Osborn that he planted an anti-abortion pastor in the dem primary. (The NDP chose to back Osborn instead of running a candidate.)

If you want to know how likely the GOP is doing going into midterms, look at Nebraska that hasn’t had a Dem elected statewide in 20 years.

This is embarrassing.

Sen. Lynne Walz (D) is running a great campaign for governor against unpopular Gov. Jim Pillen (who currently has a criminal probe against his office), so the NEGOP files their own Walz to confuse voters.
