Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism

Idiots and Russian assets (knowingly or unknowingly) are destroying us.

Pete Hegseth, Moral Failure, and the Erosion of Military Legitimacy Congress needs to find out if any laws were broken and who is responsible.

"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."

Pete Hegseth’s Defense Department Blew $22M On Steak and Lobster in a Single Month, Watchdog Claims Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Defense Department allegedly blew through $22 million on lobsters and ribeye steak in a Sept. 2025, end-of-year spree.

22 million dollars spent on surf and turf, for DoD.

Apparently the ice cream machines weren't enough.

While we die here, and they are murdering our soldier's in a war no one asked for.

When will everyone's anger finally commit to real action.

And it’s a very easy follow-up question. The U.S. has authorized the sale of Tomahawk missiles to four countries: the UK, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands. So how do you explain Tomahawks ending up in the possession of the Iranians?

I am so frustrated with the media. No inquisitive ability whatsoever. There needs to be follow questions for him to explain how they have Tomahawks. But its mostly just let go. Real media would keep following up and demanding answers and not just let lies go.

I’m sure Trump anticipated all this and has a great plan because he’s a master strategist.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.

They always lie about the numbers of people who actually ENTERED this country under Joe Biden.
It’s true there were over 11 million border ENCOUNTERS over 4 years. Of those, 3.66 million were given court dates, over 90% showed up. There were approximately 2 million getaways. So that’s 5.66 million.

Top Arizona officials warn FBI may use election probe to seize voter rolls sought by DOJ "I think this investigation is an end-around by the Department of Justice," Arizona's secretary of state said.

🚨BREAKING: As the FBI probes the 2020 election in Maricopa County, senior Arizona officials are warning that the bureau may try to use the investigation as a way to short-circuit an ongoing lawsuit and obtain the state’s full unredacted voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Note:
Our counterterrorism apparatus has been totally hollowed out.

Now we're at war with a country that has a history of terrorist attacks across much of the world.

We're going to have a terrorist attack.
THIS TIME, we cannot allow a PATRIOT act 2.0.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Ya know. It might just be my black ass. But i don't think it's a good idea to strip protections away from minority groups WHILE nazi fascists are on the rise in america. And especially not from JEWISH people. What say you?

This wanton disrespect for the ethical pursuit of knowledge is IMMORAL. It’s a throwback to the dark times of government-sanctioned Tuskegee medical experiments which observed the effects of untreated syphilis in nearly 400 black men without their consent from 1932-1972.
Study designs matter.

The Guardian: Experts fear 'unethical' vaccine trial in Africa is 'prototype' for US studies under RFK Jr.

Danish researchers whose work on effects of vaccines has been called into question are at center of US vaccine policy

The Guardian describes how Stand Up for Science helped uncover that RFK Jr wants to experiment on vulnerable children, in a country with little oversight or safeguards, to prove his dangerous fringe theories.

Rep. Raskin on Pam Bondi: "She testified a couple of weeks ago in the Judiciary Committee, and we were not at all happy with her testimony there, which was completely evasive and nonresponsive. And if anything, just reinforced our concerns that she's involved in a cover-up."

Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
