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

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.

Hegseth Whines About Iran War Coverage, Demands “Patriotic Press” Instead #TruthOut

We agree with the Senator — Congress must not give any additional taxpayer dollars to fund this unconstitutional war on Iran.

TSA workers miss a full paycheck, while travelers keep paying airport security fees Many TSA workers received no money in their paychecks Friday as the partial DHS shutdown drags on. Fees paid by airline passengers keep piling up, even as airport security officers work without pay.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump-Kushner War to Protect Their Future "Trump Gaza" Investment and (Per FBI Informant in the Epstein Files) Follow the Orders of Kushner's Handler Benjamin Netanyahu Claims Six More American Lives

Pentagon Pete Shredded for Nonsense Claim About Oil Showdown The defense secretary made a wild statement about the crucial waterway where shipping stopped.

Oil prices are skyrocketing as tankers fear being targeted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.

13 American service members have been killed in this illegal war with Iran under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s watch.

My heart is with their families and loved ones.

But Hegseth won't take accountability. Instead, he's pushing for Donald Trump's billionaire friend to censor CNN.

Ace of spades ‘death cards’ were left in cars to intimidate Coloradans detained by ICE in Eagle County.

DHS said they’ve removed the accused agents from the field, but they need to be fired immediately.

There should be zero tolerance for these disgusting & hateful acts.

Trump's new nuclear nightmare in Iran "This may be the worst planned war in history."

Donald Trump says he’s bombing Iran to prevent the regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

But he may be providing Tehran with more incentive to sprint toward developing a nuclear bomb, which is now easier for Iran to make...thanks to Trump.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying 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.

Oh yay! Trump solved infertility.

Just a reminder, this is who is leading Trump’s war in Iran

The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee. The soldiers were literally caught on tape raping a Palestinian. Their arrest sparked the infamous “right to rape” protests. Apparently the protest succeeded..

Paxton vs. Cornyn Is a Choice Between Two MAGA Flavors Both are awful. Both are Trumpy. One also happens to be extravagantly corrupt.

John Cornyn is not corrupt, but personal probity is not enough, and indulging our authoritarian president is bad enough.

Dear Iranian Hackers:

Little help with the Epstein files?

Could be a win win.
