Drunkard rapist Pete Hegseth has banned press photographers from his bullshit propaganda briefings indefinitely after they took photos of him that he deemed “unflattering.”

It’s disgusting that we went from a highly decorated 4-star General to this trashy piece of shit.

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.

An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.

DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.

Anthropic’s Lawsuit Should Absolutely Destroy the Pentagon in Court But make no mistake: The company is not one of the good guys.

Trump's rushing to Kentucky today. He’s not there to honor the soldier from KY lost in his foolish war, nor address Kentuckians concerns on affordability. He’s there to help primary a Republican who pushed for the Epstein Files’ release.

Few leaders have done more to defend our democracy and stand up to Donald Trump than Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

Her leadership helped deliver historic progress for the American people. I’m beyond honored to have her support in this campaign.

Brutal Reality of Pentagon Pete’s Massive Cuts Is Exposed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s brutal staff cuts at the Pentagon have impacted the departments that would have investigated the fatal strike on a girls’ school in Iran. President Donald Trump, wh...

Pete Hegseth gutted Pentagon oversight, calling the rules of war "stupid." He slashed the Middle East casualty team from 10 experts to one.

Then came the Minab strike: 170 girls and 14 teachers dead.

The Pentagon’s "inability to confirm" its role is the outcome Hegseth engineered.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

It’ll always matter that a fascist republican in the Senate named Tim Sheehy was so emboldened to commit violence that he took it upon himself to break the arm of a US Marine who was dressed in full uniform at a hearing simply for protesting the illegal war in Iran.

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

Just like 2020 when Trump downplayed over 100 service members with traumatic brain injuries as “headaches”, and downplaying covid deaths, Trump is never honest with the American people about this if he thinks it makes him look bad. Because Trump is all about Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-...
